I'm absolutely gobsmacked that it's coming along as well as it is. I have (unbelieveably) a fairly detailed plot and I'm about three quarters of the way through my (very rough) first draft ... That sounds impressive until you see the HUGE gap between the first few paragraphs and the part 3/4 of the way through that I'm currently working on.

I'm sorry but I just had to give in to the urge to whump the boys. I find writing the action scenes so much easier than the scenes where nothing much is happening. Hopefully by the time I'm done with this scene I'll find enough inspiration to fill in the middle, and it won't seem too disjointed for having been written out of order.

How does everyone else write? Do you start at chapter one and work through chronologically, or do you jump in and out and link it all up at the end?

I'm trying to immerse myself in music from the era. Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel's Make Me Smile has been played to death and my family are threatening to walk out (sorry, I just love that song!). But when I'm actually writing I prefer silence.

And the number one survival essential has to be tea - cups and cups of the stuff.
