In case any of you follow the link and are wondering where I said all this, the original guest-blog post is here on the lovely Juxtabook blog.
So, finally, the thing is started. I got the house straight (OK straight-ish) over the weekend, organised a new working space (I’ve been doing all my research work in the kitchen) and bought a box for my index cards instead of keeping them in a nasty confused pile on the kitchen table.
I spent Monday and Tuesday getting in to it and, after being at work today, I’ve decided I’ve started in the wrong place. So I think a long walk will be necessary tomorrow morning to try and get my head around how I’m going to start where I think I should have started.
More anon…

So not only have you started but you're revising already. Top stuff!
Got to start it right, haven't I, otherwise who knows what knots and tangles I'll get into?
I feel for you, Alis. Good luck!
Thanks Frances. I seem to have resolved the things which were bothering me and now I'm forging ahead... phew!
I always feel that writing a novel is a bit like piloting a boat along a river. From time to time, it gets caught up in the reeds, and you have to work hard to work it free. Then off you skim again...Or, as in your case Alis, forge ahead.
Verification world; orksc. Almost certainly the cry of a bird sitting in those reeds.
