Just thought I'd take a quick break from tiling, grouting and painting to post a blog about writing. (For once)
One of the reasons I've leapt into decorating with such glee is that it's a great chance to let my mind wander. No deadlines, lots of repetitive work, and a feeling that when I finally get back to writing this novel I'll be able to give it 100%
The other reason is because whole plot lines can appear while you're mixing a bucket of tile adhesive, applying a third coat of varnish to jarrah or slapping acrylic paint onto the walls. (Given that heady cocktail of chemicals and carcinogens, you won't be surprised to hear those plot lines can vanish again just as quickly.)
Anyway, after more than four weeks tiling, decorating, &c, what has my fallow mind come up with? I changed the first name of one of the characers in the book. That's it.
On the plus side, it's a really good name.
Simon Haynes is the author of the Hal Spacejock and Hal Junior series (Amazon / Smashwords / other formats)

I miss yBook updates. I want to help you make it into a more realistic book by supplying professional graphics. Can I?
I very much understand the need for breaks. You've been writing this series for-how many years now?--and I'd say you're probably due a shift in gears.
Hope you're having a lovely time playing in the paint!
