Structure

I just realised that the timeline of my book is very important to me. Characters are important, themes are important, but timeline EQUALS structure.

Maybe this is a really obvious thing to say. Other writers probably know this already, but I only just realised this morning how very very important the timeline of each of my books is.

So, for 'Beatle Meets Destiny', I structured the entire book around three Friday the 13ths: Friday the 13th February, Friday the 13th March and Friday the 13th November (which were the Friday the 13ths in the year the book was published: 2010).

In 'The Reluctant Hallelujah', I structured the entire book around a road trip that lasts for three days.

And in my new book (maybe titled 'Milla Lucifer and Heath' but I'm not sure), it takes place over a long weekend and is split into three separate days: Friday, Saturday and (duh) Sunday.

So ... yeah.

A science(ish) experiment

Sometimes I'll put my dog's breakfast out for him, then grab my bag and try to sneak up the street while he's eating. But as soon as he hears the jingle of my keys, he always, always (did I mention always?) leaves his food and goes to the laundry to grab his lead so he can come up the street with me instead. Doesn't matter what's in his bowl - could be a bone, some delicious something, whatever - walk wins out over food everytime. Bear in mind that he's already been for an hour's walk every morning, so it's not like he hasn't been out of the house yet. I've done this experiment many times and the result is always the same. Let this be a lesson to all you mean dog-owners who don't walk your dog every day. Walk beats food, everytime (and my dog's a lab-cross, so he loves to eat).

Guys, we need to have a serious talk about bringing back the man’s onesie.

In all seriousness, don’t do it.

WIP

Milla (character in my new book), walks past her mum's bedroom, where her mum is laid up in bed, pillows plumped at her back, talking on the phone to one of her cronies.

'You know you're getting old,' her mum says to whoever she's talking to, 'when instead of a pearl necklace for your birthday, the best he can manage are pearl earrings.'

Too much?
