Author Tracy Williams, also known as The Naked Blonde Writer, has received a bursary from Literature Wales (formerly known as Academi) to write her second novel under the working title of Insomnia: Doctors & Drug Dealers. The bursary is for a six month period, during which time Tracy hopes to produce a first draft of 120,000 words. She has been researching the novel for the past three years. The story is vaguely autobiographical, loosely based on the author’s personal experience of lifelong chronic insomnia. The confessional content of the narrative will, however, incorporate vast amounts of fiction and be rendered in satirical and allegorical form. Tracy’s creative vision for the book is to achieve an aesthetic similar to that of William Burroughs’ Naked Lunch.

How’s the novel coming on Tracy? I just read Blackout again and enjoyed it just as much as first time round.
Congrats on getting this Tracy and hope it has gone well to date.
Hows the writing going Tracy?

Tracy…Congratulation for the bursary! I hope you find enough time to write a good theme of life and bring a naked idea of truth even I am embarrassed & reserved to discuss a naked body. Did you think of women in a menopause when you write your sentence of your insomnia or you are sure that all your audience is from men that looking for a blonde?
Good luck

That’s great news Tracy, you must be delighted. I’m looking forward to reading it
