Day Five Completed – Just in Time

Just made it! Fortunately I wrote 1450ish words this morning before leaving for work, and just finished the remaining 550 after getting home, eating then falling asleep on sofa (catching-up from the week perhaps) The dreaded flu is trying to gain control of my body, but it will not succeed! So, today’s subject – Winnipeg, and events from there. First of all, I planned out in bullet-point form the flow and where I needed to end up. I then wrote in the detail, including a few new ideas that came to me whilst my fingers were in full flow. These are often the best to harness, especially when writing fast-paced action scenes. Back to the location, I hate writing about a place I’ve not been to. I always worry at the prospect of someone from Winnipeg reading my work and cringing at the inaccuracies. Positive feedback from Dead Men Should Know Better’s Panama and Vienna sections confirmed that at least my extensive research in both places had seemed to pay off. And so the moral to the story is: Dom, get on a plane. Back to this blog, well that’s me done today. Thank you very much for following, and for sharing this challenge which is an extra-incentive to make sure I meet the daily deadlines. Result: I’ve written 10,000 words this week, and have an outline developing which I’m very pleased with. And thank you to all now following me on Twitter. @DominicCanty I appreciate your interest. More posts to follow tomorrow and Sunday. Caio for now, and have a great weekend. Best regards Dom
