Burning the Midnight Oil

Listening to: Rock the Shack, New Order

Another late night with excellent progress. The chase scenario I mentioned in the previous post has really got the juices flowing.

This scene was actually the genesis to the whole story of the Coma City idea, so I'm glad I've finally been able to get it down.

Word count is 9890!. If I wasn't so tired I'd get those extra 110+ words out to make into the five-figures. But I'm having enough trouble typing this so I'll come back to it later.

Good night

Picking up the pace

Listening to: Strict Machine, Goldfrapp

I was up until 1:30am last night writing an action packed chapter involving our hero (still haven't named him) on a supercharged scooter (like the one in the photo) being pursued at 180Km/h along a freeway.

It was a lot of fun to write, I hope others will find it as much fun to read.

The scooter is a Gilera Nexus 500, a very sexy beast indeed.

I actually envisage this chapter appearing a bit further into the story but the idea was there so I had to get it down. I also needed a distraction from the trouble I'm having with finishing off chapter 7 without it seeming like a waste of words... but maybe ditching it is the way to go.

The word count is now 8477. A long way from 50,000 I know. But it's a moving goal post.
