The Foggy Path

December 29, 2016December 29, 2016 ~ Tom Luck ~ Leave a comment

After fifteen weeks of full-time writing, I still don't feel comfortable enough to call myself a writer. I guess that's because I'm not getting paid. Currently. (Saying that, as a means to support myself, I'm a dog walker and carer, but I don't regard that as my job, even though I get paid.) Still, I consider what I do---writing---as … Continue reading The Foggy Path

Extract: Chapter One

December 21, 2016December 21, 2016 ~ Tom Luck ~ Leave a comment

As it's the time for giving, here's an extract from the first chapter of Everborne. I'd love to say I wrote this back in September, with months of reflection and hardly any revisions made since, but the truth is I re-wrote Chapter One only the other week, and this is my new opening. As with any opening, my focus … Continue reading Extract: Chapter One

Week #15 Overview

December 18, 2016December 16, 2016 ~ Tom Luck ~ Leave a comment

I broke for lunch later than usual on Wednesday, owing to the fact I wanted to finish drafting Chapter 14. I won't bore you with the details about what I ate. (OK, Minestrone soup with added chunks of chicken, if you're dying to know.) So not only did I end up taking Cass for an afternoon walk … Continue reading Week #14 Overview

Week #13 Overview

December 4, 2016December 4, 2016 ~ Tom Luck ~ Leave a comment

I've been writing Everborne for three months now (wow, to think I ever doubted doing this) and I couldn't be happier with my running word count of 105,031 words! (Yes, I was about to close my laptop on Friday when I saw I was twenty words short of the five thousand mark and, yes, I did sit … Continue reading Week #13 Overview
