Progress!

I feel like I’ve made some good progress today.
I finished critiquing the novel, I did all the dishes and cleared the washing backlog. WOO.
This means that later tonight, when I get some spare time, I can make more progress on plans for TCM (working title is The Consign Mate, TCM from here on in). I’ve [...]

Late post

Wow, it’s not often that it takes me til late afternoon to write a post! Been so busy this morning though – had to get this place looking all neat and tidy for the rental agency. Then once that was done I managed to get the girls sleeping – though I was bed for Lauren, [...]

Jan 1st

Well, it went reasonably well. Though I’ve learned my lesson and I’ll not be leaving my writing until the evening to get done – I just don’t think it’s going to work that well if I do
I’d wanted to get through about 1000 words on Mocha Nihilism. I managed 738. Definitely better than [...]

The next few days

Yesterday I managed to get the first lot of edits on Lifelines done (yay me!). It was pretty cool – I had a lot of pages to go but I was up really early and just got into it.
There are only a couple of days until Jan 1st when I get to launch into Mocha [...]

Merry Christmas!

Well, it’s Christmas morning – earlier than I expected to be up, but here I am all the same. I kind of misread the clock this morning, so when Ivy called out I said she could get up – turns out it was only 6, not 7… ah well!
Thankfully there are some Christmas cartoons on [...]

Excitement

Considering that 9 months ago (round about), I was having a hard time getting into editing Lifelines – almost to the point of bashing my head against the wall and giving up on the dream completely – I am feeling pretty darn good about it these days.
At that point, I hadn’t yet admitted that it [...]

Finish Ayden – done!
Get to work on editing Lifelines – have begun.
Edit for the editing challenge – 5/20 hours so far. Only started last week.
Plan for Mocha Nihilism [...]

Nervous excitement

So, I’ve finished marking up this short story. I am pretty sure I can make all the necessary changes today, and when that’s done I’ll be submitting it to the queue over at Critters.
Eeek!
I’ve gone over it in the same way I would someone elses story. It’s not going to be perfect when I submit [...]

A big day for the ‘naki

For those of you who don’t know, the ‘naki is short for Taranaki, the region that I live in. And tonight the All Blacks are playing Samoa here – I read somewhere that it’s the first time the AB’s have played in New Plymouth, but then someone else told me that can’t possibly be true [...]

Productivity

Today was a lot more productive than I had ever imagined it would be.
Not only did I complete the plan for this short story (the only real goal I had), but I managed to write 1,565 words on it as well – I had no intention of getting that far, I would have been happy [...]
