Ive taken a week off work to help the wife with Amelia, which mainly involves me keeping daughter no.1 busy while she is still recovering from childbirth.
So facing the fact that money is going to be tight (wife has given up work) I find myself (as always) wanting/needing to spend money.
I had the unfortunate luck to get 3 speeding fines (9 points) in quick succession, and all I need is one more and I lose my license for a year. Now seeing as I commute by train this isnt much of a daily problem, but the ban is for 1 year, and I do use the car 3 times a week for my private clients. So I need to buy one of those fancy GPS devices.
Been spending the last few days writing up my notes I have for my book, thinking I had tons of material. Well the truth was that I didnt have as much as I thought I did, and barely managed to creep up to 75,000 words. 5 chapters have now been written to draft standard, but still more needs to be done. Introduced a new story thread, and 2 new characters who are linked but not in the normal sense. This book is being to resemble Magnolia in the level of connection and interaction between all the characters, and unlike convential books, there are no real walk-on characters. Im currently up to 16 main/major characters including my protagonist and antagonist, and thats after 5 chapters. I am sure there will be more to come.
