Movement...

Here is the first draft of my book on Cairo, hot of the printer! I was surprised to see 136 pages being flicked out, and checked the word count to understand why; it was touching 52,000.

There's a lot of editing work to be done in the next couple of weeks but I hope this 'workstation' in the local bookshop will provide the light and inspiration to get on with it; the wifi is great, the people lovely and I keep my table replenished with coffee and juices and sandwiches. They really have done a great job in expanding an old fashioned book shop into a literary and social centre with tables full of readers, young and old, as well as business men doing deals and students their essays. Oh, and the odd writer writing!
