hahaha literally what i've ended up doing in the last few months too

Oh really, that's so cool! What are you working on?  

its a bit of a discovery of a secret society, haven't completely planned the direction of the story yet.
I had a bit of a mad flurry of reading easy read romance type stuff the other year to distract my brain & inadvertently ended up proof reading for an author I found. I've now done 4 books for her so far which prompted me to have a go as I had some plot ideas which she incorporated into some of the ones i've been involved with. Tempted to try and turn it into a bit of a side gig too.

That sounds excellent! Really cool that you've already had some of your ideas incorporated into books. Can't wait to hear more about your secret society book, keep us posted

Thanks.
What's the jist of yours going to be?

(be warned once you have one plot idea you'll end up with a growing list)

Something nice and simple, a light-hearted crime novel set on allotment site. It basically writes itself!

That's amazing - what sort of books have you written already? I hope you manage to get them published

Work was horrendously stressful at times this week, but I still managed to write a bit of my book every evening. Up to 7,500 words already, so not bad progress I'd say! It'll need edits no doubt but I've done some refinements already on what I've written so far, and am reasonably happy with where it's going. 

We also got paid, and together with some more positive market movements, our overall net worth (i.e. including house and mortgage and everything) has just surpassed half a million, which is kind of mad when I think about it. 

Spent a really nice couple of hours at the allotment today as well, it was so sunny and actually felt quite warm weirdly! It felt quite lucky that we had such a nice weather day today, given the storm yesterday morning and the rain we're meant to be getting tomorrow. 

I hope you're all having a good weekend too

Well done on persevering with the book despite a stressful week. Congratulations on the half million mark with your net worth, that’s amazing! This time next year rodney, eh?? 

Allotment time sounds therapeutic

Thank you @seventh88 ! You've also shown me I need to brush up on my Only Fools and Horses references, especially as they weirdly play a role in the book I'm writing
