The April version of the November write-a-thon is upon us, well, me actually.  I’m not sure hope many others are trying to resurrect an old piece of writing.

The truth is, I’ve been at this story off and on over the past three years, and every time I get a head of steam, something else comes along.

Now I’ve decided to use the April version of NANOWRIMO to get this thing finished, or at least in a first draft state.

Part 3 is now finished and it is onto the laborious work of getting part 4 right.  There will be about ten chapters in this section, and then a short Part 5 which is yet to be written.

Today’s assignment is Chapter 42 and I’m spending more time watch TV for the 25th April Anzac stories.  It’s quite moving hearing the last post played on the bugle, and even though we are mostly quarantined, the minute’s silence is observed – in silence!

Today is not going to be one with a smiley face, because there are too many distractions.  This chapter is far from finished.

Today’s word count takes me to the end of Chapter 42 and adds another 1,526 words for a total of 68,606 so far.
