I don't know, but this might be one of the strangest things I've seen this week.

The Routine

I'm at my desk by eight-thirty, looking through the words I wrote yesterday. A cup of coffee helps as I nudge those words into a slightly different configuration, hopefully a better one. I delete overindulgences, and simplify tangled sentences. It might look like I'm editing, but it's nothing that precise, not yet. I'm merely re-familiarising myself with the last things I did yesterday, so that I can flow onto today's words.

Then I can start.

My minimum goal is always 1000 words. Ideally I will achieve 1500 - 3000, on rare days of inspiration I can see that rise to 6000, 7000, or - on a really good day - 9000. But 1000 is a good target. It's enough. Not brilliant, but sufficient. It will push the project forward. It will give my characters a chance to grow, to move, to talk, to act.

And it will set me up for tomorrow.

When I'll be at my desk by 8.30 . . .

Omission Statement

Welcome to my 0.4 blog. I'd like to thank you for dropping by.

In the countdown to publication of 0.4 (or Human.4 in America) I'm going to be attempting to keep you up to date with all that's happening. I'll also be dropping the odd cryptic hint about the sequel that I'm working on, and telling you about its progress.

I'll try my best to keep things interesting, brief and informative.

You'll find my webspinning here which will tell you a little bit more about me and my work.

All the Best,

Mike A Lancaster.
