Okay, okay, okay…. I’ve deemed 2013 the novel-writing year. I’ve been planning the damn thing for what now seems forever – well only a year – but I think this will do – and now I think fuck it,  it’s time to slouch atop a big bottomed-sized thesaurus and get on writing the beast. The aim is a first draft by the end of the year. My characters are at the starting line, the plot almost….

So what’s this all about then? A place to vent my backed-up frustrations and share my ideas and thoughts, and a space to understand my characters and play with dialogue as I bravely climb the mountain that is FOUR GIGS – and, unless you hadn’t already guessed, that is the name of the novel.

Anyway, a very good evening to you – I wrote this scoffing homemade tarragon chicken casserole –  my name is Sadie Hanson, that’s my catchy-catchy author’s moniker, not my real name which is a little more conservative and a tad uncooler.

What else is there to say? Let the fireworks commence!
