This should have been posted yesterday, but I forgot what day it was. In fact, on Sunday I still thought it was Saturday. So, I lost a day somewhere.
If you find that missing day, please let me have it back. I’m missing it terribly. 😉
As for the mislaid dollars, well my brother did give me some money. However, his version of money is limited – by some camel with a needle aversion. I can’t really complain as I got enough to cover Christmas, or whatever holiday we choose to celebrate in wet and windy Wales.
As I warned my not-so-wise sibling, the price of everything is going up, and January will probably bring bigger price-hikes. Meridian, the place we are trying to move to, just got voted the Best Place to Live in America, by 24/7 Wall St., an online financial news corporation. Already, suitable wheelchair-accessible houses are selling within 48 hours of going on the market. And the price will have a knock-on effect in the Treasure Valley area.
His excuses for not advancing the money to buy, are getting lamer every time we talk. The property to finance this has sold, for a considerable amount – millions – and my share covers my requests, and more. But he can always justify dragging his knuckles.
Maybe, after Christmas, there might be real news – or NOT.
There are also things missing on the writing front. Not exactly days – although the timeline of the story is a challenge – nor dollars, or pounds; could do with the Royalties though. Instead, having been a 2015 NaNoWriMo winner, the wheels are spinning.
I was working to an outline, but then I killed off a second character. Now, my detectives are all over the place, searching for evidence and scenes. Which means that the outline has to be re-thought before the Chief Constable closes down the investigation, and I’m left with a cold case. Or should that be a cold novel?
So great is my stressed-out confusion, that I’ve even re-installed Scrivener, believing that I missed a trick or two by abandoning it. Well, it did lose another novel – but I had an RTF backup for that.
Rant over. Off to plot another brutal murder – MUAHAHAHAHA.

Ah…. but with an unexpected murder you could have yet another novel in the upcoming series. A cold case that suddenly gets hot.

Sadly the victim is related to the first one… so case has to be solved this time. Or you might have just triggered something. Thanks Katty.

That sucks about your brother. I saw that about Meridian being the best place to live. I have to agree, it’s not a bad area. 🙂
Hope you figure out your case!

Glad you agree… just hope that not everyone tries moving there.

Have fun with the second victim. Maybe they’ll surprise you…

Why do the killers always choose the wrong person to pick on? Surprises all round.

That is the beauty of writing – it’s more exciting than real life sometimes.
