Tidying up

I cleaned my desk yesterday, and put all the books back on the shelves. I got rid of all the clutter and junk that had accumulated and it feels really nice to sit here now. I have some space to think, space to breath, which is exactly what I was hoping for with November not [...]

Last day of June

Well, it’s been a big month, but we got there in the end! I just have to finish writing the June wrap up for KW, and I’m pretty much done!
I’m looking forward to it being July in the morning, though I have already started on the whole ‘taking it easy’ thing. I’m feeling a lot [...]

I can taste freedom!

I know it’s probably a strange thing to say, but I can see the end of June approaching rapidly and all I can think is YAY!!!!

Half way

Well, today marks the halfway point in the month, and I’m nicely over the halfway mark in this months goal as well – sitting at 14K (because I haven’t done my writing yet), and happy with how the story is coming out!

Another ‘goals’ post

In the past I’ve been militant about my goals. I’ve set my aim high and I’ve worked my ass off to achieve them – and in the process worn myself out and gotten all stressed when I didn’t achieve.
In more recent weeks, I’ve been lenient. I’ve lightened up on my ‘goal’s, taken to not expecting [...]

Writing related stuff vs writing

I feel like I’m getting less and less time to write lately, possibly because all the writing related things I’m doing are cutting into my writing time.
Or are they really? Perhaps instead of taking my actual writing time they are taking up my ‘thinking about what I’m writing’ time, which means that when I get [...]

The Collection Challenge 2009

So, as most of you probably don’t know, I’m one of the staff over at the Kiwiwriters website. I was lucky to be around when it was first thought of and really enjoy my involvement with the site – it’s been a lot of fun so far and I am sure it will continue to [...]

Goals ‘09

This year ahead is exciting. Very exciting. There are a few things that are a given, and some high hopes – but hopefully when I hit the end of ‘09 I’ll be able to look back and see that I managed to achieve most of the goals on my list.
So without further ado…
