Wrote 10 pages of Book 8 of "The Demonata" yesterday -- the action has hotted up to boiling point!! I also edited the first third (20 pages) of "Koyasan", my World Book Day novelette. I was going to do more of that later, but we had a power cut! Part of the drawbacks of living in rural Ireland is that we get power cuts quite often. You can never tell how long they're going to last. This one lasted about two and a half hours, wrecking my night-time editing plans. In the end Bas and I went to see my Granny and Grandad, and a few other relatives, and passed a pleasant enough night in half-light. It came on again about 10.30, so we were able to watch the end of the movie we'd been viewing when it went off earlier -- "Sahara", the Matthew McConaughey adventure movie. It was better than I thought -- absolutely ridiculous, but shot in lovely settings and fast moving. Ideal for when you want just simple entertainment.

By the way, in response to a comment -- when I talk about pages, I mean A4 pages. My average page is about 300 words.
