Monday morning again after an ‘interesting’ weekend to
say the least. I’ve always been interested in politics, and I’m an historian by
training, so let’s just say the current situation both fascinates and appals me,
and I’m not going to apologise for writing my views here.
For the first time this weekend, I wrote to my MP with my
views on the debate on Article 50 (Brexit), the ban on people from some
countries entering the US, and a state visit from the 45th President
to Britain. So far over a million people have signed the petition against the
visit – not that this government would have the guts to stop him coming here –
showing the strength of feeling here.
Back to the author stuff, last week was largely spent
editing While You See a Chance, my
older men story, which my editor pointed out was really the experience of three
generations of gay men. I also have to decide on whether to do a development
edit of another story. One of my betas also returned my MS for what is now called
Two Highland Hearts, atm, and dealt
with those. She says it’s a bit fluffy for me, but these days we all need a bit
of fluff. I didn’t get much written on my WIP, but did add some extra plans to
the story.
I’ve read some great books this week. Undertow by Jordan L Hawk gave the
wonderful Maggie and Persephone a story. I am such a fan of the Whyborne and
Griffin stories. I also read The
Impossible Boy by Anna Martin which I enjoyed, and am reading Sight Unseen by Susan Mac Nicol, who has
become an auto buy for me. Next up is Slade
by Kade Boehme.
This week, I’m planning a third draft of Two Highland Hearts checking for the
passive stuff and show and tell using Edit Minion, and hopefully some more
writing of my WIP which is called Meeting on a Bus – holding title. I'm also looking forward to listening to the latest Torchwood audio from Big Finish - Torchwood One, Before the Fall with the wonderful voice of Gareth David Lloyd. Here's a lovely picture of my beloved Ianto Jones.
That’s me for now. Have a good week everyone.
