Saw you started my book (Darkness Out of Carthage) a while back... hope you enjoyed it on some level! If you have any constructive advice I'm all ears! Good luck to you on your own journey, and I hope your novel pursuit is going well! (I keep distracting myself from mine with smaller projects!). I've neglected to ask a question so... would you suggest doing Nano or do you find it counter-motivating?

Hi Carl, thanks for the question and I have to say that I'm really glad you asked it. I love your book! The Roman Empire and Lovecraftian horror... one of my perfect combinations... But, it's true that unfortunately I haven't finished it yet. That's because of -let's say- my chaotic approach to reading... I simply have too many books on my Kindle, too many books on my nightstand and in my handbag (I have yours with me, since it's small) and too many books from the library - and I want to read them all at the same time. Plus when I write I tend to keep at bay external influences... so I might read very little.
Yes, I know about those "smaller projects"... I'm trying to avoid them now as much as I can. Glad to hear that you're writing a new novel.
Nano? Never done it. I admire those who can do it and apparently it's beneficial but it's not my style of writing and I also don't have the time.
