So…

I’m up to date with the crits, there are just a few things on my to-do list! Feeling so much better now that I’m making some progress. I’m setting aside time to crit one chapter of Kerryn’s novel a day – there are 11 chapters to go, so I’ll be done well before the end [...]

The blog post that couldn’t

I started writing a post on Saturday morning…. but, then we did the grout on the tiles, and Mum helped me paint the dining room/back porch area and I never had a chance to get back to it. Sunday rolled around and there was more painting and a morning long catch up with my friends [...]

Mostly successful weekend

I got most of the things done on the list, and some extras – I didn’t get the paint away the yellow though because the weather was so bad yesterday. We’ve had a massive cold snap and it feels a lot like winter again unfortunately – hopefully it doesn’t last too long! We’re hopefully BBQing [...]

Can I hold out?

It’s almost October – which means we’re one month from November and National Novel Writing Month.
And I am desperate to start my new project.

I’ve got a bunch of friends who want me [...]

5 days left of the month!

Oh man, where has the time gone? I feel like this last year has shot by so fast with all the different things happening in my life. It’s certainly been jam packed, and doesn’t sound like its going to slow down any time soon either.
We had a difficult sleep patch yesterday which meant that in [...]

Ahhhh Monday

Not really my favourite day of the week, but oh well!
We’re all pretty much still sick here, well I am, Lauren is on the mend, Hubby is now sick and home from work for the day, and Ivy is coughing at nights but otherwise she’s fine. Blergh. You know, I think the worst thing about [...]

Another weekend has arrived

And I am hoping to once again get a bunch of chapters out of the way – I’m excited to get to the end of the novel, all the super fun stuff happens in these last chapters and I wanna read it! I also want to edit it, but I think it’s going to be [...]

When Worlds collide

One of the ideas I generated a couple of weeks ago was instantly something I knew that lent itself to a novel rather than a short story – the more time I spend thinking about it, the more the world in which it is set comes to life. I have a few characers making themselves [...]

Awesomeness

I’ve had a fantastic day. I feel amazing, about pretty much everything that is going on in my life right now. I guess this month off has actually managed to change a few things for me! I’m certainly feeling better for it, and am pretty sure that I can continue on with this kind of [...]
