Trailer


Last year I created a rather low tech trailer for my book and I thought you might like to have a sneeky peak!  Every book is different and some just take more writing than others.  Because I've been plodding away at this one for so long, I knew I needed some way of keeping the mood and impetus going.  Whenever I get stuck, I play this through a couple of times and it helps to remind me of what I'm  supposed to be doing!  As a writing tool, I'm really rather pleased with it. As a piece of media, it's hardly going to win any Oscars.  Still, it was fun to make!  Obviously, I was being rather ambitious, thinking it might be August 14! Fingers crossed for 15 though!

Self-indulgence...

...has been the name of the game this week.  Half term and I've indulged in good food, excellent company, serious but not excessive drinking and even a trip to the cinema to see Casablanca on the big screen.  I've also spent a rather large amount of money on a ticket to see Sting in concert at Gateshead's Sage.  Because, as a lovely friend of mine is fond of telling me, you only regret the things you don't do!  Working on the same principle, there's another 4000+ words added to G&P 4.  Who knows?  It might yet get finished!
