Snakes and Novels

 Well folks, it has been awhile without any posts so I just thought I'd let my friends know I am okay and keeping busy with writing as I still have no work with shows or training courses. I am discovering that research takes as much time , if not more so, than the actual writing. I am pleased to report that my good mate John Mcgrath has offered to edit the book when it is finally finished. Thanks John. Thanks also to Joe Sambono who has offered invaluable advice on aspects of my manuscript and to all those people who offered encouragement when I had doubts. My mate Michael pointed out to me that the average novel is between 80,000 and 100,000 words and John McGrath echoed this. For a while there I wondered what I have taken on but with probably around 30,000-40,000 words done I feel I am progressing. I hope those who offered encouragement are patient people.

Snakes in the blue mountains

One of the most dangerous snakes is the eastern brown snake and it should rightly be regarded as being one of the most dangerous snakes up here in the blue Mts west of Sydney. Technically the next most dangerous snake is a red bellied black snake but the fatalities from this reptile are very low due to its timidity. They can often be seen near water. Tiger snakes, one of my favourites, are also seen in our area. These are highly dangerous and can move really quickly.
