It's Friday again 😱

A week in review:

35,000 words written in four days on Book 14 with the hope to have it finished by next Friday before half term. I ain't getting anything done that week that's got sure.

How we all doing? Have a great weekend everybody 👍

Ah, weekly report... I'd call it a review but I don't wanna.🤣

Finished Book 14 yesterday... The draft is solid, the ending will need work but I'll get to that later.

Book 15 begins Monday... I've just thrown out the existing plan in the hopes of something better. 😱👍

Whitewater shenanigans. Rushak’s in it now.

From Brother’s Keeper, book one of my fantasy WIP about two brothers linked by a misunderstood power.

Trethis reappeared, ahead and to his right.
"Shame of the clan!" He sliced in front of Rushak, nearly upsetting his own waidin in the tumult. Bráthal pressed in on his left. Rushak found himself face to face with Bear Rock and with Trethis, who strove with his paddle, fighting to get clear of it.

A horrible shock to his face snapped him
backward. Reeling, he watched the bow of Trethis's waidin loom huge; the red raven's-eye eclipsed the world. Collision was imminent. With all his skill, Rushak swerved and slipped by. Bear Rock swept
past his ear, and the Maelstrom's jaws opened wide.

White spouted everywhere, the froth boiling
like dragon breath. The roar of the Falls ahead
swelled to engulf him. There would be no turning back.

Brother's Keeper

In Review.

My productivity has grown over the last year. I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea July last year that's shifted something; I feel my mind has returned along with my ability to #Write 😎

I've written more this year than the last five years; I aim to surpass that next year. #writingcommunity
