At last, I have news on the writing front. After months in the planning-mines, hacking away, I have started writing again on The Strange, third book in the Babylon Eye series. I have deleted more than 16 000 words, and written more than 20 000 new ones. Things are looking much better. New things that have appeared in the story: a locomotive-beast, and a viral lathe. Things that haven’t changed: Isabeau is just as prone to getting into trouble, although she thinks she’s much more sensible now. Meisje the cyber dog has a much more active role now too, she’s no longer just following orders. After all, Elke is in deadly danger!
(On another note, my next book will contain only characters who can speak. Writing non-speaking dog characters has been interesting but frustrating)
