I would not be surprised if many visitors to my website (there are many) get the impression that I do nothing but post comments on my blog. Actually, the opposite is true. A small percentage of my time is spent providing links and making brief comments. Most of my time is spent on my writing, specifically on my novel writing.

My daily routine (except Sunday) is to begin writing at 8 am and finish around 12 pm. By that time, my brain is exhausted. In the afternoon, I attend to domestic matters, post links to comments and YouTube videos, do research, and sometimes revise my already published books. This last is a constant process that covers small adjustments to the text and the rooting out of typos, etc.

My present writing project is Book 5 of the Sixties Series, Love in the Counterculture. I’ve almost finished the first draft. Against most professional advice, I’m one of those writers who constantly revises as he writes, not only what’s been written the previous day but also the thus-far completed draft.

I find this necessary because my novels are long – more than 100,000 words. I need to keep the course of the story in mind. I’m at the 120,000-word mark with Love in the Counterculture. It will take at least another 20,000 words to finish the story. I have a tentative cover which I may replace by the time I’m ready to upload to Amazon and Draft2Digital (D2D). I would welcome comments about it.
