What I'm doing this month - July

-
Yes, you've guessed it. July is going to be another busy month for me, doubly so because my children's summer break begins towards the end of this month - argh!

Murdering The Text

 The June target was to complete all the changes to the Murdering The Text website before July started. Did I do that? No!

To be fair, I got a lot of the changes finished but two things happened to stall my progress.

One, as I made the changes, I thought of better ways to improve the website so the planned changes took longer.

Two, I came up with more changes to make. They're all good ideas but they'll take extra time to put into place.

So the 'new' plan is to finish the changes to the website before school breaks up for the summer.

There's a slight complicating factor though - I've come up with a new marketing plan for the website. I want to start it right now but I know that I need the website to be as good as it can be before I begin to attract new peeps to it. I desperately need a patience filter. Or maybe I just need more coffee.

My Novel

I'm still hammering away at this. Not much more to say about that really.

The rest of my life

 July is always an odd month for me. On the one hand, I'm racing to get things done before the summer break begins. On the other, I want to relax now. Again, that patience filter would come in handy.

Coffee?

    My daughter has been home for almost a month. The summer break is flying by. Good luck getting everything done before yours begins.

Taking location inspiration from real life

Real life doesn't just have to provide inspiration for our characters. It can also feed into the locations we use in our writing. This is the school I attended between the ages of seven and eight years old. This photograph, and more of the interior, was kindly taken by an old school friend. I always loved this building and now it has provided the inspiration for Darkacre School in my novel. Photograph taken by Dan Howard of 500px.com York Minster (from my home town) was the inspiration for the cathedral where Rex Haven's funeral takes place in my novel. Taken from www.rightmove.co.uk The terraces of the South Bank area of York, where I lived for a time, are the streets of the old town in my novel. The details don't have to remain the same - we writers are tailors of imagination after all - but basing our story locations in reality can add a grounding element to our writing that convinces our readers. What real locations have you used in your wr...

I've recently finished a new murder mystery play called Thoroughly Murdered Millie . Set in the 1920s, rich young widow Millie Harper-Smythe shocks her family (and the staff) with her plans for the future. Her stepchildren will lose their home, William the butler has no choice but to emigrate and who knows what she has in mind for the gardener? Can anyone stop her? You can find this play over on the Murdering The Text website. Have a look .
