Not much, actually. I didn’t go near the keyboard between Christmas and the end of the first week of January. I’ve been back since then trying to finish the next book in the Cruel Stars series. I’m enjoying the work, and it’s flowing well, but I feel a bit like I’m swirling in the Second Book shallows. I’m starting to understand these as I get older. The first book in a series is always great fun because it’s an origin story. The last book is great fun because everyone gets what they deserve. But that difficult middle title? That’s always difficult. |
