5000 words...

This last week of the school holidays has been better than the first (I spent most of the first in bed ill) and I've had lots of opportunity to write. I've completed the first two chapters of The Boy Who Came To Play and have clocked up 5000 words already. Only another 45,000 to go...

I'm not following any schedule for this novel at all. I'll try to write as much as I can every day (quite tricky when you work full-time) and go with the flow. But a little part of me hopes to get it written before the summer holidays so that I can enjoy six weeks off work! Last year, even on holiday, I spent the whole summer on my laptop writing The Charm! But I loved every second of it :)
