Spurred on by the efficient [livejournal.com profile] erastes, I have bought my train ticket to Ely for the meet-up next month. This may or may not turn out to be a good idea, although I have checked and there are no engineering works scheduled that day. Yet.

And I have written 1,200 words of the Christmas novella (a sequel to Pleasures With Rough Strife, set four years later in 1926). It has been surprisingly easy to get into: Philip's voice seemed to come back to me without any trouble, although I imagine Danny will be a little harder. He's aged from 18 to 22, and gone from being a poacher living with his mum to the position of gamekeeper, with his own cottage (with frequent visits from the lord of the manor!). I've introduced two new characters, one of whom, Philip's cousin Lawrence, is going to cause all sorts of problems for Danny and Philip... ;)

Woohoo! Gosh, I'd better start thinking about booking a table at Pizza Express and ordering some nibbles.

What meet up? Have a fantastic time and several drinks for me.

Also, *squee* to new novella! *hints that it might need to come my way*

BTW, "Danny will be a bit harder" *nudge nudge, wink wink, say not more*

Looking forward to meeting you again at Ely, and glad the writing is going well! I look forward to reading that one - suppose I should probably go and read the first installment before I do so...

It's worth reading.

*can't even claim to be a disinterested party, but it still is*
