Finally! The book launch was on Friday just there and muggins here picked up two copies. I had already received my personal copy but my mother was over last week and my first ever copy of a book with a story of my very own found it’s way into her hands.

Words About Whiteinch is getting very real now. It’s odd, but as the first story of mine that’ll actually be in ACTUAL PRINT, I’m getting really really excited…
But the anthology is here on Amazon Uk.
Mwah ha ha ahahahahahahahaha…
*ahem*
Sorry about that. 
Now I have to get the next few scenes of Railman out the way and work on other short stories, see if I can get them closer to publish standard. (of course, it’ll keep me away from the outstanding housework…)

So, happy new year!
It’s been a ‘interesting’ year, full of ups and downs.
It started well, with me riding high off the relative success of last year’s NaNoWriMo. It was an important milestone with my writing, the first time I ever got around to actually finishing something in a short time that I even remotely liked. So, that was Planet Of Snakes (a sequel to the unfinished Desert Of Zin) and very happy I was with it too.

Well, I have had my official notification of the inclusion of Whiteinch In Flight for the Words About Whiteinch anthology!
I knew it (in a strictly unofficial sense) but it’s good to have a look at something official. It is meant to be released in late January 2010 and I have the final edit on my desktop for my confirmation.
I have a few reversions to ask for but it seems to be all systems go!

I’ve been working on a story for the Words About Whiteinch competition, which I mentioned here, and the first full draft of Whiteinch In Flight is here!
And for a first draft I’m over the moon about it!
Ruthy has already given it her seal of approval so I need to edit it a bit and take it down by about 500 words. But I’m really chuffed. Especially after having a really bad last few days, where I’ve been questioning my usefulness at anything.
But once it’s finished I might shave an excerpt off it and post it here.

The guys in the Whiteinch Community Centre are running a writing competition.
Guess what I’m hard at work on just now?
More details are here on the Whiteinch Centre website.
