Hazards of the Modern Writer-Postman. Episode 10

I’m doing something I promised myself I wouldn’t do. No. It’s nothing illegal or something that could be deemed ‘naughty’. I’m editing my manuscript before I’ve completed the first draft.

Finish the damn thing. Completely. Then tinker and cut and polish, the little voice inside my head yodels. But no. I’m editing.

Why now? you ask. Now, when you’re so close to finishing the manuscript. The short answer is: I have to.

This pollution monstrosity on my postie run is a pretty fair representation of what’s going on in my writer’s head at the moment.

But I shall prevail!

Onwards and upwards to ‘The End’

I'm a children's and YA author from Australia. I've published books with very sensible titles such as 'Susie Smelly-feet', 'Birdbrain' and 'Red Goes Green'. I've also written scripts for Australian television dramas such as 'Neighbours' and 'Home and Away'. I've always hankered to publish a crime novel for grown-ups and at present I'm embarking on a crime writing career.
