That's my first Early Reader MS written

Exactly 2k words written today and I'm meeting up with a friend tomorrow for my birthday so I'll be able to distance myself from the ER then I'll write another one on Thursday and I'm hoping to write at least one ER every 2 days until the middle of October, have the last couple of weeks of October off from writing and trying to get into a new MC's head ready for NaNo on 1st November!

The power of books

Just finished listening to an Audible book and my mood is a lot better now, thankfully!

I'm going to write my first Early Reader now and make it 2k words instead of the 500 I've been writing up to now!  lol

Renamed my Early Readers to Easy Readers

Just the file names, but I learnt yesterday that there is a difference between the word counts of Easy Readers and Early Readers.  I've been writing Easy Readers up to now but I'm going to write an Early Reader today.

Need to get in a better mood first though, or it'll all come out in my writing instead  :-(

ER for October

If I forget what the Early Reader WIP is about, can someone remind me tomorrow that it's about a new boy joining a primary school half way through the term please?

It's official...

My 2016 NaNoWriMo novel, "That's magic", is on the NaNo site ready for me to make a start on 1 November!

Gonna write an Early Reader instead of a novel for the rest of October in preparation for NaNo and I'll write "Because I said so" after that.

Slush pile challenge

Just emailed my submission to SCBWI's Slushpile challenge... wish me luck!

What's the word count for YYA novels please?

I've got 92k words planned out but I was hoping for about 100k.

Should I forget the other 8k or plan another 4 chapters somewhere?
