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 [...]

Yesterdays post – Getting stuff done

First up, I just want to say Happy Birthday to my beautiful baby (not so baby) girl, she’s one today – where has the year gone?? She is absolutely the coolest baby in the world, and I’m allowed to say that because Ivy didn’t become my daughter until she was one and a couple weeks, [...]

Ahh beautiful sunshine

It’s been a lovely weekend, though it’s not yet over (yay for long weekends). Rather than the rain that was predicted to hit this morning it’s still beautiful out there – and it highlights why NaNoWriMo is sometimes a little bit harder for us over on this side of the world! All the sunshine, the [...]

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 [...]

I have been for awhile now, but WoW seems to have come back into my mind and I’m wondering – can I [...]

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 [...]

New Things

We’ve finally decided to crack down and sort a budget out – it’s well over due, should have got it sorted when we bought the house and all, but time has been going by so quickly. I feel much better for it, like we’ll finally stop wasting money and start making some progress – hopefully it [...]

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 [...]

October!

Can you believe it? It’s been almost a year since Lauren was born… and wow, what a year it’s been!
I’m feeling really excited at the moment… because I know that in the next few days I’m going to begin querying agents. Squee!
Because the kitchen is almost operational. YAY!
Because I get to start a new novel [...]
