Did you feel the presence of my absence? Or even the absence of my presence? I've been away from the browser by and large for a couple of weeks, but not idle. Instead I've got two great projects underway, alongside the responsibilities of the day job.

First, I've started work on the manuscript for book three. I'm one and a half chapters in and settling into a steady rhythm. The trials and tribulations feel familiar having been here twice before. It's exciting, nerve-wracking and generally bloody good fun to be writing long-form prose again.

Speaking of exciting, nerve-wracking and generally bloody good fun, I've also started building a custom bike. The donor arrived a couple of weeks ago and I've half stripped it already. It's a great counterbalance to the sedentary abstract writing process, to work on something messy and physical.

I wonder which I'll finish first...

In other news, I'm also heading to Denmark for a few weeks. So if you're in the vicinity and want to get together drop me a line.

The usual service of value-added content will resume shortly :)
