Hello loyal fans!
The sequel to Mudgirl is well under way. In order to speed up the writing process a little, last year I set myself the task of writing 2000 words per week. I have written 120 000 words (Mudgirl was 190 000) and am so into the story that I find it slightly upsetting to leave Jaz where she is while I do such mundane things as go to work or go to sleep!
Perhaps the best news (for some of you) is that she finally knows what the mare's name is... and as a reward for reading this far, it's Falinasta, but Jaz calls her Asta.
It's weird actually, but I am finding myself genuinely challenged by some of the choices Jaz makes. For those of you worried about me going a little crazy, I do know she isn't a 'real' person. She still feels real though, and if the things she does and say make me think about God and me... does it really matter that she only exists on paper/screen/in our heads? What do you think?
Hooray for progress...keep going PJ Merton don't stop.

ReplyDeleteDo you have an update. 8 years on from when I first read Mudgirl and I find myself wondering what happened. I have my fingers crossed that book 2 and possibly 3 are finished.
