16th October

Wrote 420 words today. Elin’s mother’s plan to ‘turn me like a key in a lock’. Not so much but better than the zero production of the last two days. In the evening I did some picture research for the blog – looking for illos that are approximately contemporary with the story that I can […]

12th October

Not much achieved today. About 60 words written (and several times that cut). Some fiddling with the home page coding.

10th October

Not a terribly productive day, but at least I have found how to present these writing progress status updates on a page on this site. I’ve also instated two progress bars on the Progress page to show current progress on the novel and the chapter I’m working on.

3rd-7th October

Mostly stuff related to the blog. Among other things, started to upload these status updates from the old site. [This status note from memory.]

2nd October

Published my first teaser on the frontpage of elinsstory.com using my latest version of Elin’s portrait. [This status note from memory.]

17th-23rd September

Another patchy week. Some work on Chapter 1, some work on illos for the website, some looking at different software solutions, some navel-gazing. [This status note worked up from my non-electronic diary.]

10th-16th September

Patchy this week. Wrote to Nigel L. at Adel Pub. on Monday. For the rest of the week I seem to have been spending more time thinking about the website (this Elinsstory.com). [This status note worked up from my non-electronic diary.]
