Prompted the aforementioned good friend and mentor Paul-the-Writer, I’ve decided to have a bash at getting my first novel finished in time for the TV3/Poolbeg competition… Great stuff.
Did I mention that the deadline is 17th December?
Did I mention that I only have about 20% of the actual thing written?

Ah but it’s ok, ‘cos I have a plan. Of the novel that is, and you know what they say about failure to plan…
I’m sure the proverbial ‘they’ also have something to say about putting your money where your mouth is and thats the crux of the matter. Its finally time for me to stop talking and start writing. Lets get the goddamn thing written and if its rubbish, then so be it, it’ll be 80,000 odd words of written rubbish which has to be better than 80,000 odd words of un-written rubbish.

I’ll keep ye posted…
