You know, just once in a while, I wish I would listen to my own advice! I’m busy with the first few chapters of the fifth book in the Scream Street series (SS5) and I’m finding it difficult. Why? Because I’m trying to get it right.

What I should be doing is just letting the first draft flow out of me into a heap - the lump of clay I mentioned in a post back in December - then trust myself to be able to go back and fix anything that needs work. After all, the book will go through several more rewrites before it’s ready to be published.

I suppose it’s a positive move that I’ve been able to spot what the problem is before I start to panic - but all I had to do was go back to Dec 16th and read my own words!
