So today's post has nothing to do with writing.
Why? The short answer is "Why not", but it's largely because three works are already in the hands of my editor, and a fourth is looked at by a story doctor. Still, I am happy with the first of the three in the editor's hand, so that ought to be something at least. I have promised myself that 2016 is the year I'm going to write better, stronger and longer narratives (it was recommended that if I would like to be represented by an agent, I need to write a novel that was not less than 80,000 words).
The reworked Enemy Within is almost there, at 31,000 words at last count. The other two may need a little more work, but am getting there . . . it's that both have reached that point that getting a second pair of eyes are crucial to their development.
In the interim? Who knows, a paid job be nice.
Peter Stanley’s foray into writing was academic, while spearheading his first community development project within his local disabled persons’ community. A trained social worker, the last decade and a half had him work in customer care, qualitative research, supported employment, supporting his peers within the disabled community, and presently as a career coach. He hails from Gdynia, in Poland, but New Zealand has been home for forty odd years now.
