5 days to go

I am beginning to realise just how much I am taking on: 5 days to go and I have little more than a basic idea. I haven’t even thought much about the characters.

I’m working my way through the book, but I need to get going on the plot outline.

And I’m trying to finish off the final edits on my completed novel.

Binary code

That’s the working title. Today, I think it’s going to be about a group of hactivists (political activists with computer geek skills) who come into possession of a secret plan by the government, so explosive that they will go to any lengths to silence them. But I’m writing on the fly, so anything could happen.

I won’t be posting the whole novel on-line, instead I’m going to focus on the process, and how it differs from my usual approach.
