Partly inspired by our road trip, I've completed another novel about... a road trip. The protagonist meets up with old friends from various parts of his life, just as we did. The people he meets up with have various problems, and he does his best to help all of them. It's not meant to be especially deep or meaningful; more of humorous entertainment.
Have I succeeded? Well, obviously I like to think so, but the jury's out at the moment. Children, Ivy + couple of friends have the draft copy and I await their reactions with interest.
