For the last week or so I've been writing every day! Okay, so it's only been a couple of hundred words or so, but the journey of a thousand miles begins with a drop in the bucket, or something.
What I've written is utter crap, but I've given myself permission to write an awful first draft (thus, hopefully, enabling it to actually happen).
I'm writing my thriller, Ante Body, and I'm up to my very first gun fight! The protag, a mystery man and a host of unknown bad guys are exchanging steel jackety death in a shopping mall. Just for fun I might go Matthew Reilly on them, where the bad guy is right there and things just miss and action happens in italics!
Oh yeah, and I got another rejection from a professional market. Oh well, out it goes again.

Nice, good work on the writing. I'm a couple of days behind, but I've been mentally working on "Liar" - does that count?

Retrospectively. If you write down what you've thought about later, then the thinking time counts. If you don't, it doesn't :)
Righteo, I'd better try to write something up pretty soon!
"What I've written is utter crap"
Lol. Now just remember, you said that, not me.
