What can I say? I’m a softie…

Yo.

The weather is the main focus here in England. It’s humid, then cold, then wet, then dry. So, so exciting. And, occasionally it’s beginning to feel wintery, so us Brits are discussing whether to ‘put the heating on’. And, saying stupid things like, ‘Oooooh I’m not really ready for Christmas yet…’

Personal Update

Downstream Book 2 is going great. 15,000 words in the bag. Joe has discovered surprising things about his life in the present and also a door in his house that leads to…. well, you will have to wait and see : ) Maybe I will release a few chapters to you lovely people… What do you think?

I know the writing isn’t perfect – far from it – but the words are flowing and the chapters are filling up. It is just the best feeling in the world to be writing again. Editing might take longer this time – I’m a bit rusty – but all is good in the author hood.

Getting into the flow

Great week so far, been hitting my daily word count on Downstream Book 2 (title to be decided later). Currently at 8,800. Only about 80,000 to go ; )

It was hard getting started, but today, I really hit my stride, 2,000 words, which for me is a good days writing. Things are starting to flow again with phrases and ideas popping into existence all on their own, rather than being forced out from behind the sofa like scared cats!

W.P. Brown and Joe are having an interesting conversation in Bridgeman Antiques when the unexpected happens… Can’t wait to share it with you! Perhaps I will share some chapters soon.

And, I really enjoyed my guest slot at Nathan Van Coops launch party. A first for me. Thanks to everyone who dropped by. It was nice to have some friends there!

Me and The Hoff…

Did you know that David Hasslehoff has / had a thriving music career in Germany? Maybe you did, but to some people it’s a surprise. And so it was for me when I decided – I really had no expectations at all – to translate my Time-Travel novel ‘The Unexpected Gift of Joseph Bridgeman’ into German. Well, I say that as though I translated it!Continue Reading

Resistance

February 19, 2017 By Nick Jones

Ever fancied writing a book? Sure you have… So, what’s stopping you? The list is endless… believe me, my subconscious is a busy-bee and can – given a few seconds notice – arrive at hundreds of valid reasons why I will never write another novel. Trust me.. the thing inside us that stops us doing certain things is way more powerful than the thing that helps us along. That’s what makes achieving something like writing a book, climbing a mountain, running a marathon or #insertyourowngoalhere so rewarding. But for me, it’s been a while since I’ve written proper words (6 months) and it got me worried for a while.. People who cared would say, “oh, you have writer’s block.’

Hmmmm. Do I?Continue Reading
