NaNoWriMo 2017: Day 17 + 18
Another two for the price of one post! Sorry about that. Weekends get away from me. Well I’ve finished reading Reflections by Diana Wynne Jones and I’m really sad about it. Don’t you just hate (and love) when you finish a book and you just want more. Yesterday I started rewriting an old short story……

NaNoWriMo 2017: Day 16
Day 16 was a day of chores and work and an overwhelming frustration that I wasn’t cloistered away somewhere imaging marvelous things. November 16 Picked up Mat from the mechanic – his car was getting serviced Washed my car- I park under an enormous gum tree and the birds unleashed hell’s fury upon it. I…

NaNoWriMo 2017: Day 13 + 14
So now I’m not writing or blogging! Shame on me! The truth about yesterday is… I forgot. I went out for breakfast, then to work, got home late and just plum forgot. I’ve been avidly reading Reflections on the Magic of Writing by Diana Wynne Jones for the last few days as well and it is…

NaNoWriMo 2017: Day 9
I thought Day 9 was going to be another total right off. I’d listened to the ‘So You Want to Be a Writer‘ podcast on the way to Sydney, planning to work on my novel on the train ride home. This did not eventuate. The train was jam packed and once I finally got a…

NaNoWriMo 2017: Day 8
MY first total and complete flop! That’s right, it’s only day 8 and I didn’t write a single thing. What I’m realising now is that I need to stop blowing off everything when Mat comes home for lunch and I need to stay up later. I need to MAN UP, basically. November 8 2.5hrs…

NaNoWriMo 2017: Day 7
Day was not a good writing day. I got on the train to go to work and realised my dropbox hadn’t synced so I didn’t have the latest version of my story. Theoretically this shouldn’t have stopped me from writing… but it did. Surprisingly not my worst day though, and it was a good work…
