Weekly Blog - Monday 19th Jan

[Steven Hague]

Not much to report from last week, as I spent my time scanning through The Beholder, making some minor enhancements as suggested by my wife Lisa, and looking for opportunities to include some additional research to help add further depth/realism to the novel. This research can provide background colour, such as being able to name types of cactus and vegetation in a desert, or it can be more facts and figures based, such as being able to quote the length of the US-Mexico border along with the daily volumes of people and vehicles that cross it. By the end of the week I’d worked through about two thirds of the novel, so not long now until the second draft is ready.

Cheers,
Steve
