Back on track

I’m feeling much much better as of yesterday afternoon – perhaps I had some kind of bug or something cause I’m not as exhausted and I can think straight again, despite less sleep. Go figure! I did manage to get cracking into some planning and am actually beginning to feel a little bit of excitement [...]

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 [...]

Daylight savings is here

And, I didn’t get out of bed til 8am. Yes, I know it was a trick, but it still felt really good.
The weekend saw the kitchen painted – yay for another job off the list – and the new hob purchased. Hopefully we can get that installed sometime this week and we’ll be cooking.
I also [...]

My synopsis through someone elses eyes

I didn’t get much time to work on things yesterday, again, the sleep thing, arg, these teeth should be through soon and we should be back in business. Still, I was reading through the synopsis first draft and thinking about how I could make improvements – it needs tightening, and to sound more interesting. I [...]

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 [...]

First draft of synopsis done

Woo! I almost sat down to write a post about procrastination yesterday, because I was putting off getting to work – but then I decided that I would do better just to get stuck into it!
The second half was a lot easier to write than the first, I’d made much better notes so it was [...]

Tuesday

And the kitchen installation begins this evening. Or whenever Dad arrives anyways – he sounded like he hoped to get everything in, other than the bench top which will need a couple of sets of hands. But if there is time I am sure I can rustle some of those up! I had thought that [...]

It was a good week

I had so much fun during NZ Speculative Fiction blogging week, it’s a bit sad to see it end though I know that some of the connections I have made, and that feeling of connectivity and pride aren’t going to go away in a hurry. Just want to say a huge thanks to Anna for [...]

The One Night Stand ending.

I’m taking a detour from spec-fic blogging week for now (hoping to get another post up later), as I really had to write this one.
I made it to the end of Lifelines again yesterday afternoon, happy with where things are at – other than one little thing.
The ending.
I’ve known there was something wrong with [...]

Halfway again

Back to being halfway through Lifelines again, and so glad that this is my last read through. It’s going really smoothly now though with very few changes to be made. I’m super glad to find that the case.
I am loving having the time (and hands) to get some work done as well, I think part [...]
