After several scheduling changes, we finally recorded this interview last night. (7pm in Sydney for me, 10am in London for Peter).
This should come out in the coming weeks. It was a pleasure to chat with Peter.

I went to edit my book.
Cut one whole sentence.

Rewarded myself with a snack and a 2-hour nap.

Is it just me, or do other writers feel bad leaving their characters in a bad situation while they go make a coffee? Or worse—abandoning them for days, until the urge to hammer at the keyboard strikes again?

I don't use a notebook as much as I used to, but when I filled my first one, it was an interesting read.

The vanilla mud cake served at the launch was pretty special too.

Last night, I dreamed that I was writing and filled half a notebook with a story. I was really happy with the progress, and then, upon waking up, I realized none of this writing got really done.
Not impressed. I worked so hard in my dream.
