Welcome to Jon’s Author Diary for the week ending October 11, 2020. We’re still in local lockdown, but I’ve been keeping my head down and getting on with Judgement , which is book 20 of The Ravenglass Chronicles . The first draft is complete and I’m about 3,000 words from the end of my second. It’s such a strange feeling knowing I’ve got one more episode to write. But it’s okay as I already have p...

Welcome to Jon's author diary for the week ending October 4, 2020. It’s been a mixed bag of the week. I’ve been working on Judgement, which is the penultimate episode of The Ravenglass Chronicles . I’m pulling together all the story threads for the final episode. I had hoped to have finished the series by now, but 2020 has thrown everyone’s plans asunder it would seem. Although we’re in local lock...

Welcome to Jon's author diary for the week ending August 30, 2020. That's right, it’s the end of August. I cannot believe we already here—what a strange year 2020 has been. This week I've continued writing The Sun , episode 19 of The Ravenglass Chronicles. I’ve just finished writing chapter nine, so it’s coming along nicely. I'm still getting used to the new way of writing where instead of racing...

Welcome to Jon's author diary for the week ending June 28, 2020. This week I had what I can only describe as writer’s block. Yes, the dreaded writer's block. I always thought that writer’s block was a myth, that it is something that only happens to authors who don’t have a plan going in. On last week’s Author Diary podcast , I talked about an experiment to write by the seat of my pants, to going i...

Welcome to Jon's author diary for the week ending June 21, 2020. After the intensity of last week getting Cleric of the Wasteland ready for the editor, I decided to take this week off. That lasted about two days before I started getting twitchy! So, I started work on The Moon (episode 18 of The Ravenglass Chronicles ). I’m five chapters in and I’m using a different method to write than usual. Inst...

Welcome to Jon’s Author Diary for the week ending June 14, 2020. Woohoo! It’s taken a while, but the final draft of Cleric of the Wasteland is done and ready for the editor. I started work on this book in winter 2017, so it feels good to finally be done and ticked off my list of open projects. It’s been an intense week of getting up at 5 AM each day to get it done. But it’s done and that’s what co...

Welcome to Jon’s Author Diary for the week ending May 17, 2020. Something happened this week that felt like a massive weight was lifted off my shoulders, like a huge ball of tension burst. Some of the lockdown restrictions were lifted here in England on Wednesday, so I’ve been taking advantage of being able to go outside more than once a day. However, that wasn’t what relieved the tension. It was...

Welcome to Jon’s Author Diary for the week ending May 3, 2020. As I write this, I’ve just finished my first draft of The Star , book 17 of The Ravenglass Chronicles . Book 16, The Tower is currently with the editor, so I’m hoping to get that released as soon it is proofread, which should be some time over the next week or two. My novel Blind Reset , the follow-up to my GameLit novel/mediation on d...
