Ops I did it again…

Well, for those of you who haven’t heard it before now – I’m having another baby!
Totally out of the blue, unplanned, accidental, was totally not expecting it, but I’m very happy and hubby is slowly getting over the shock of it.
I did suspect something was up when I went off coffee, but… well, there are [...]

Squee!

Maybe a day off was exactly what I needed, because I wrote just over 4,500 words yesterday!
Feeling so thrilled about it as well, loving the direction Chasing Ascension is taking and I managed to write a first draft for the search term challenge as well, though whether it’s actually good enough to put forward I’m [...]

A day off writing

I didn’t write a word yesterday… initially I thought that I might put something together for A.M.Harte’’s searchterm writing challenge, but no ideas are jumping up and down and my brain is pretty fried.
If you haven’t yet put an entry in, there is still time! Check out the first stories up here and here, both well [...]

What do you mean it’s only the 5th?

I almost fell off the wagon yesterday, the writing one that is. I was tired, I still am tired… totally frustrated by the lack of time in my day for writing, by many other little things that I’m not going to bitch about here, and life in general that I almost let it get to [...]

Sharing with the partner/spouse

Two nights ago, hubby was reading over my shoulder as I tried to write…. he was like ‘Lissa huh?’
And I said ‘What are you doing!!! You don’t read, why are you reading? You’ve never shown an interest, why now?’ Thinking, of all the times to start reading my writing, why a first draft, as I [...]

Nov 1st

Today has been frustrating, to say the least. To begin with, my PC was having issues and wouldn’t load up properly, then of course the girls were very needy of my time… then we were out of the house between 9.30am and 3pm. Finally got home, got Lauren to sleep and then Ivy woke her [...]

The final hours of October

It’s 3hours now until November hits, and with it, two projects. We all know I’m participating in National Novel Writing Month, but what you don’t know (well, I guess now you do) is that my lovely husband is going to be taking part in Movember.
While growing a mo doesn’t take as much effort as writing [...]
