13 July

Up just before 5.

Walk round the lakes (2h)

Set-up

Writing 2h - actually went well. Love how the characters present themselves ready for the story, complete with little personality quirks.

I’m writing a paragraph a day on some of them - only a couple of hundred words maybe. That pace is only about 40,000 every six months.

Book edits DONE, first copy printed.

Music 2h - piano then set-up.
