Wednesday 19th October

 Today, I've been working on uploading my 'freewriting' to my website. I've rewritten the html for the 'Other Stuff' page with a link to the new 'freewriting' page and have uploaded three days of 'freewriting' pdf's.

You can go directly to the 'FreeWriting' page by following this link: http://www.richardhill.co.uk/freewriter/

This afternoon, I'm going to add my 'Tom' short story to the 'Fiction' page.

Might report back later...

UPDATE 15:47

A short while ago, while I was putting Lottie's lead on in the hall, I fell over backwards and banged my head on the (hard) floor. The back of my head's  been bleeding and I have a stinking headache at the front and back of my head. Last time I did this I had a bleed on the brain and had to go into hospital for a few days. I hope it's not that bad this time.

UPDATE 20:10

Much better. Back to 'normal'!

Books I'm using:

Positively Productive Writerby Simon Whaley

The Creative Writing Student's Handbook - by Cathie Hartigan and Margaret James
