Writing life

Planet Kate, 28 May 2018

What’s happening in my world, this week:

  • Work: finishing M&B #83 (overdue, sigh); updating my website one backlist book per day (in theory, but in practice I’m away so won’t have the time); and faffing about with my Big Book (need to decide which of the four ideas in my head needs writing first and stop messing about)
  • Reading: The Light Behind the Window, Lucinda Riley (enjoyed)
  • Looking forward to: King Lear on TV tonight; uni open day trip with Chloe to Manchester – as it’s a long drive there, we’re staying overnight and going to see Happy Days at the Royal Exchange; also planning to see the Museum of Industry and Mrs Gaskell’s house, and meeting up with friends; and it’s Gerry’s birthday at the weekend
  • Workouts: as I’m not here most of the week, it’ll be walking in Manchester
  • Planet Kate last week: busy with work – managed to get my dates wrong so we missed seeing Jon Richardson, which is a shame, but we did have nice weather at the weekend so we took Archie to the park on Saturday and to the beach at Holkham (i.e. the beach you see in Shakespeare In Love) on Sunday
  • Fave pic from the last week: Arch with very fluffy hair, cow parsley (I love the structure of the flowers) and one very happy spaniel on the beach
