December 2023 - Update #1

 

December at last. I've managed a little writing this week - a few hundred words at the start of chapter 4. I've needed to look back into the earlier books, especially Flight of the Hawk, to introduce Neirin properly. It looks like he will be going to Ireland with us. He is the historical bard now known as Aneirin, who later wrote (most of?) the long poem called Y Gododdin. That will fall in my projected Storyteller book #8, the middle book of the Fall of the North trilogy, which will resolve a lot of situations I set up in Flight of the Hawk and The Ash Spear. 

The last three days have been mild, but we should be getting snow and colder weather again tomorrow. That should be good for writing.
