Well the ending I had come up with for Invisible Fiends book 2 was a bit rushed and rubbish, so I sat down today and wrote the ending the story deserved. As the title of this post announces, I managed to write over 4000 words in 5 hours, and have now properly finished the first draft. I shall celebrate this evening with a cup of tea and one of Mr Kipling’s finest French Fancies. Rock and Roll or what?

I was surprised to get the draft finished today. I had planned to do some yesterday but ended up taking the day off to go sledging and build a big snowman. Here he is here with my son and me.

I called him Snowgor, Destroyer of Worlds. My son called him Snowy. Oddly enough, both suit him quite well.

To give some idea of his height, I’m six feet four inches tall. I reckon Snowgor/Snowy must’ve been pushing eight feet. Getting the top half of his body on was a bit of a nightmare, but fortunately we had my son’s cousin, Jamie, there with us to lend some muscle.

We decided a snowman of his scale needed four arms and a scowling face. You can’t see one of the arms because he’s hugging me with it. When Snowgor isn’t destroying worlds he’s all about the hugging.

Oh and yes, I’m well aware how ridiculous my hat looks. I was too cold by that point to care. I’d have worn a big Carmen Miranda fruit stack if it’d have kept my head warm.

After the snowman was built we went sledging at ludicrously high speeds down a sixty-degree slope. It was massively entertaining, although the hike back up the hill didn’t do much for my aching old bones.

Taking a few days off now. Back sooooon.
