NaArMaMo Day 4

It's a sort of landscape view of the capital city in my AU Britain, as one of my characters will see it as he approaches (it's kind of roughly where modern-day Gloucester is now). It's not come out quite as I wanted, but it's a start.



And after thumping the 'auto correct' button:



Dwim, I tried to get a better shot of that lamp post, but it just wouldn't come out, sorry! Hang on... Try this!

And that's why I like SF. If I ever write the mystery novel in my head, it will have to be set in the future or an AU so I don't have to write present-day Britain. Because I would fail.

SF holds some anxieties for me because I worry about getting the science wrong (but then space opera covers a multitude of sins).

The idea for this book is that various periods and themes of British history should 'echo' through it in some way. Let's see if I can pull it off.
