I made a good start on several new pieces in early January, with which I'm pretty pleased. However, in the last week or so my productivity has declined somewhat, I must admit. Yesterday I got cracking with a new scene (well, it's more of an add-on to an existing one) and it was good to get some more fresh writing done.
I've still got a couple of big jobs ahead, the largest of which is rejigging the chapters. At present there are 20 and when the book's done that would equate to roughly 5k each, which is too long, I think. So, I'm going to shift most of the chapter start points around. Happily, the main storyline is entire in the right order so it's just a question of where the guillotine falls. However, a few secondary storyline bits and pieces may need moving about. I also expect this to throw up the odd continuity error and some redrafting will be necessary just to ensure the start and end of chapters/scenes don't jar.
I've also got a new review, from the lovely Boom Baby (a fine reviewer of books and not a terrorist toddler, I hasten to add). You can read the 4/5 review here.
In addition, Bane of Souls is also the Indie Book Club Book of the Month over at Goodreads. A discussion thread about it can be found here.
