Writing:
With an ‘extra’ day off work this week (Canadian Family Day), I managed to focus on my ghost writing project. A total of four hours spent mainly in a silent house resulted in an extensive review and a lot of added content. I am confident this second draft is more in line with my clients view and deals with all the factors she requires. The draft has been sent and I await a reply.
My other freelance writing project was completed on Saturday and my client now has everything she needs for the launch of her online lesson plans. It will be interesting to see the finished product.
Have you read something to a live audience which made you uncomfortable?
As I have my ‘erotic’ reading this Saturday I will be working on that for the rest of the week, and trying not to let nerves overtake me! It’s one thing writing but quite another reading it out loud to an audience.
Books:
Beyond the Precipice by Eva Blaskovic.
Although I am only several chapters into this book, I must mention the beautifully structured writing, the rounded characters and a sense of place it has given me.
An old school pal in England sent me her daughter’s novella to read and it is next on my TBR pile. The Outcasts by Maddie Andrews.

My other reading commitment is a friends manuscript as a beta-reader.
What are reading at the moment?
