My goal for this year was to finish a first draft of Ageless - which I have..!!

On read through it’s a bit lumpy, mid-paced and one character pops up after being killed off in the previous chapter but… it’s a proper bloody story and a damn good one at that. 💪

Oh maaaan! If you can get yourself a copy of this you should, it’s such a great tale.

I heard about the Lykov family, who lived alone and isolated in Siberia for 50 years, and tracked down a copy of this book written by the journalist who visited them every year after they were found.

I’ve really been looking forward to reading this one.

Figured it out on a dog walk...

An earlier (3 chaps back) incident happened without clear purpose, meaning the motivation for this scene wasn't clear.

Characters aren't furniture, they can't be moved around without a reason.

I'd forgotten that. Now I know what's happening and more importantly why
I’ve got a scene. I know how it begins and I know how it ends, but gaaad it’s a struggle to write.

Words are dripping out agonisingly slowly.

A sentence a day is still progress though right??

Agreed. Sent the Greens a few quid ‘cos good politics is hopeful politics.

Mandatory government IDs are common in many countries. They’re useful, reliable and help to deliver better public services.

But they will do nothing to stop illegal workers in the UK.

This is a good idea, badly sold.
