Last of the Cathedra - the new writing phase begins - six leagues and all's well

2019 cover

After a slightly abortive start in August 2018 (where I spent too much of my annual holiday time reading Haruki Murakami's KILLING COMMENDATORE) and got most of the characters the wrong way round in the first three chapters but with books of hand-written notes to fill in the narrative gaps, I'm back writing the 2020 Hertzan Chimera sci-fi novel "Last of the Cathedra".

As of this morning, prior to my jog, I a) have a fully-fledged 24-chapter structure b) the three main characters in this 'love triangle' suitably re-motivated character-wise c) a full Sunday-to-Sunday week off work to really hammer this baby good and hard for a sustained period.

I'll report back next Sunday to let you'all know how it went and what the book turned into. I can feel it in my bones, some narrative high-jinx is curdling the fungus of my writing feet.

Yes, I write with my feet. Tsugi no nichiyoubi made... ciao bambinos.
