Characters

I’m having one of those mornings. Brain. Not. Functioning. Sleep eludes me, though to our credit, I didn’t spend any time on the couch last night and managed to get back to sleep fairly quickly after each of Lauren’s seemingly hourly feeds. Man, the girl can put it away – is there a 5 month [...]

Writing, done.

Starting really is the hardest bit… because once I have done that, it’s just so easy to keep moving forward.
I’m feeling really good about the novel, I’m loving being with a different [...]

August 1st.

A lil 2k day for me. It was hard work at some points but mostly due to the emotional stuff going on for me yesterday rather than any difficulty with the actual writing.
Declan has now been introduced, hooray! Now the only other characters left to introduce are Isabelle, whose coming along tonight to meet my [...]
