Today I have written a book.

Not a bit of a book.  Not most of a book.  A whole book, from the first chapter to the last.

It’s not a big book by any means.  It’s barely 7,500 words.  But it’s a book.  It has a beginning, a middle and an end. And I wrote it in a day.

Although in actual fact I wrote it in much, much less than a day.  If I was to count up all the time I’d spent sitting at the computer writing, it would be under six hours I’m sure.  So I wrote a book in under six hours.  One book in less time than it takes to boil an egg.

An unfeasibly large egg, I’ll give you, but an egg all the same.

If anyone has an urge to shout “Yay Barry!” at this point, I feel you would be well within your rights to do it.  In fact, I’ve half a mind to do it myself.

But instead I’ll use the bloody stumps that used to be my fingers to switch off the computer, and I’ll go to bed.  Yesterday I finished draft one of INVISIBLE FIENDS 3.  Today I wrote an entire book in six hours.  I think I deserve a few hours of precious, precious sleep – particularly as a baby will be coming along to shatter the peace any day now…
