A few passages have taken me in a slightly new direction and required more research and some character changes.
Add in the holidays and work and family, and my output some days is only a few notes to myself about where I might head the next day, and sometimes I repeat that for a few days until things fall into place.
I'm also outlining another book that will go faster and be more sinister.
And one after that as well, which is all location and personalities, but no story yet.
Then there's the one I finished years ago that was too literary for its own good. I started with Sgt Pepper when I should have been doing Please Please Me.
(I tried to think of a literary analogy, but couldn't come up with one. Howabout "I started with Samson Agonistes when I should have been doing L'Allegro and Il Penseroso." Nah, me neither.)
