Christmas 2025… Maybe. If I Stop Watching Classic Corrie

In a move that surprises absolutely no one, I’m deep in the throes of writing my Christmas novella, by which I mean occasionally typing, regularly snacking on Pringles and jammie Wagon Wheels, and spending far too much time watching Classic Coronation Street. (Honestly, it’s miles better than the new stuff. Give me Deirdre’s curly perm and fag end any day of the week.)
As for the actual writing… well, the story is developing, shall we say. I’ve not entirely nailed down where it’s going yet, but I’m relying on the characters to give me a gentle shove as and when needed, or an outright slap, towards the right direction soon.
All being well (and with a bit less faffing and a lot more typing), I’m still aiming to have it out in time for Christmas 2025. So, keep your eyes peeled and your mulled wine and mince pies at the ready.
Now, back to the page... or possibly just one more episode of Corrie. For inspiration purposes only, obviously.
