That's the last time I exercise three days in a row
Just managed another 500 words on Coquus ex Machina, plus another 500 I managed to squeeze into last night pre-football (which was an incredibly tough game against the top of the league team, where we had four less players than them and still only lost 15-5). It's all going slowly, but as long as it's going we're all good.

I'm currently trying to work out what piece I should read at the Hadley Rille Book Signing event the weekend after next. I was going to do one of my short stories, but Jenny's suggested I do an excerpt from Coquus ex Machina instead. Hmm, perhaps. In that case I just need to find a bit which is rewritten, and interesting stand alone.

Then I really should start practicing!

I'm still trying to decide too. I mean, how long do we get, even? I was thinking an extract from the story in the antho.

I checked with Adele, and she suggested a maximum of ten minutes to ensure that even if the story wasn't to the listener's taste, they wouldn't have time to get bored ;)

So I guess that's 1-1.5K, maybe a little more depending on reading speed.
