After working solidly all day (and for the past few days), I have completed a 100,000 word novel entitled 'Nemonymous Night', as a root-and-branch re-write of three previous internet novels entitled 'The Hawler', 'Klaxon City' and 'The Angel Megazanthus' (previously collectively known as 'The Tenacity of Feathers' and now removed from the internet after 5 years). A labour of love to reduce 300,000 words to 100,000. I learnt a lot from their internet appearance. |

That's a lot of less is more, Des! Amazing. Are you happier with the 100,000 than the 300! |

Yes, very much so. But the original first two novels are still available as read aloud by me in audio! |

Last minute touches finished. I curl my thumb and finger into a raspberry kiss, bring them to and from my lips in a sweeping movement of - yes, perfect, couldn't be better. |
