Progress

Another chapter finished: numbers on the sidebar as usual. This last one took some reading and thinking, as it follows Gwernin to a different part of the country. I can see the end in sight now: it will feel strange to get there. Then, of course, there's the second draft, and the proof-reading: mere details.

I'm planning on another transition as well before the end of the year.

But that is a story for another day.

Still here...

The last couple of weeks have been rather busy, but last night I finally got started on the next chapter. With luck I'll get a decent post out in a day or two.

Second blog

I've been trying to figure out how I could post sample chapters from my books without disrupting the flow of this blog. It just doesn't work. So today I gave up and created a second blog site to hold them. See this link for progress to date.

Naturally I'll still do most of my posting on this site.

Nol i'r gwaith yfory / Back to work tomorrow

Wel, mae ngwyliau wedi gorffen. Mae hi wedi bod dwy wythnos dda. Nadolig da (heb eira), Nos Calen da (heb eira), a ddoe dim ond tipyn bach o eira. A pedair fennod wedi cael eu ysgrifennu! Dim yn ddrwg. Yfory, beth bynnag... Dyna chwedl i ddydd arall.

------------------------------------------

Well, my holidays are over. It's been a good two weeks. A good Christmas (no snow), a good New Year's Eve (no snow), and yesterday only a little snow. And four chapters got written! Not bad. Tomorrow, however... That's a story for another day.

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda / Happy New Year!

Dim ond tipyn bach hwyr - ond roeddwn i'n ysgrifennu ddoe. Un pennod arall wedi cael ei gorffen - mae'n debyg bydd hi'r olaf y wythnos 'ma. Mae'n rhaid i mi ysgrifennu cerdd heno i rywun, a bydden ni'n mynd i ddgwyddiad SCA yfory. Wedyn, n'ol i'r swyddfa Dydd Llun...
-------------------------------------
Only a little late - but I was writing yesterday. One more chapter finished - that will probably be the last this week. I have to write a poem for someone tonight, and we're going to an SCA event tomorrow. Then, back to work on Monday...

And one more...

Another chapter done - seven more to go, plus a short one. If only I had another month's vacation...

Blogging will resume on a regular schedule next week.

Nadolig Llawen / Merry Christmas

Yma o hyd, a dw i'n wedi gorffen pennod arall - 22 nawr. Gobeithio allaf i orffen dau mwy cyn i Ddydd Gwyl Ystwyll.

--------------------------

Still here, and I've finished another chapter - 22 now. Hopefully I can finish two more before 12th Night.

Writing not blogging

I've been writing, not blogging, in my free time lately. Finished another chapter today - that's 21/30, 70% according to my tracking spreadsheet. More details as always on the side bar under "Ash Spear".

Oh, yes... Happy Winter Solstice!

web reviews and other book news

Googling this morning on my books as I do from time to time, I came across a new review of Storyteller. Take a look!

Leo Stableford also has some kind words about Flight of the Hawk here (about half way down the post).

Finally, looking ahead, I will be doing an on-line author chat on LibraryThing between January 26 and February 9. You have to have a LibraryThing account to post to the chat, but this is quick, easy and free, and I think you can read posts without one. I'll put up more information when it gets closer. (Warning: spending time on this site can lead to serious book-buying!)

Eira eto / Snow again

Mae hi'n bwrw eira heno. Maen nhw'n dweud a bydden ni'n cael 2-5 o fodfedd. Dw i'n meddwl dyn ni wedi cael 2 fodfedd yn barod. Bydd y gyrru dim yn dda bore 'fory.

Ddoe a heddiw roeddwn i'n ysgrifennu eto. Dw i'n gweithio ar bennod 20 nawr -- mae hi'n hanner gwneud. Mae pethau yn symud yn gyflymach nawr. Gobeithio alla i wneud lawer o ysgrifennu dros Nadolig.

Mae hi'n edrych fel Nadolig tu allan nawr...
-----------------------------------------------
It's snowing here tonight. They say we will get 2-5 inches. I think we've got 2 inches already. The driving won't be good tomorrow morning.

Yesterday and today I was writing again. I'm working on chapter 20 now -- it's half done. Things are moving faster now. Hopefully I can do a lot of writing over Christmas.

It looks like Christmas outside now...
