A writing update.

Just a short update on how the writing of my book is coming along, because I feel a compelling urge to hassle people about it.
So far I've developed all the characters I've created to the point where I could talk about them as if they were real people, drafted three whole chapters including a prologue and I'm currently drafting a fourth chapter.
The prologue leaves a lot to be desired, I think, and quite honestly I might just scrap it and write it again or expel it all together, tweak the first chapter slightly and jump straight into the main story, but we'll see how things go.
As for chapter one, two and three they're at a stage now where I'm happy with them but not willing to call them done. They can still be worked on and I'm thinking of going through them all and just editing bits here and there where I feel is appropriate (and trust me when I say it really is in places) but on the whole they're not bad I don't think, mediocre is a good word. So far all they've managed to do is introduce the main characters to a certain extent, describe present day London and give a small insight into the city's atmosphere. So not a lot has happened really. But don't lose faith, the forth chapter is going to be a lot more "hands-on" if you like.

I'm thinking of posting the opening chapter on here pretty soon,a demo if you will. Perhaps later this week.
