First project of the year!!

 I have spent 8 days in January working on a brand new project - well, I say 'new' but it has been rattling around in my head for two and half years waiting for me to be ready. I have, as some of you know, set myself the target of completing at least 3 writing projects a year, so this feels like a good start. The working title for this one is 'DEAD BLUE WHISPERS' which I hope is suitably enigmatic. I wrote the first draft in five days and then reflected on what I had done... with some dissatisfaction I might add. Then looking back at an old notebook I realised I had left out a very important thread, so have spent the past three days putting that right. It clocks in now at 40,000 words and I like it a lot more.
