I don't work well in the afternoon," she said."I might normally do 500 words then have a break. This time I couldn't, it was just 100% focus for eight hours."I care about the words I write. I didn't want to just write anything, so that was why I got behind. Fifty thousand for a first draft is pretty good."Normally I do 2,000 a day, so to do 80,000, I would have had to do 11,500 a day. I made 10,000 on Sunday and that was the most. I've learned that 2,000 words is a walk in the park."The novel is due to be published in 2027.Follow BBC Surrey on Facebook, on X.
