Monday Monday

Here we are again, the start of yet another week. They just keep coming don’t they? I feel like September is already slipping away from me, but then that could just be because I can see the work lined up ahead of me for months to come.
Seriously… lined up for months, possibly years and thats [...]

Stop the train, I wanna get off!

I had such a flat day yesterday, was feeling so good til the afternoon when I finally got a chance to sit down and start reading and it hit me that I really didn’t want to read. Oh, I do NOT want to read, I just want to be finished.
While I know that this final [...]

Research

I spent… I don’t know, awhile last night going through the agents on AgentQuery for fantasy (having decided my novel best slots into urban/contemporary fantasy) who accept email submissions.

A nice day

It has been. Better than yesterday – all that birthday pressure is gone, I love it.
Us girls spent several hours this morning/noon around at my Mum’s house using her washing machine. It’s so good to clear some of the backlog and YAY there will be clothes to wear to work and preschool tomorrow! The repairman [...]

Slacking off

I feel like that’s what I’ve been doing. Mostly because it’s been a lot of reading and very little writing. Arg! Roll on next week and the not fiction challenge so that I can do a little fresh writing.
I know I could before then, but I need to stick with the editing and clearing the [...]

Getting started

No longer nervous, just excited!
I opened the file and the first order of business was to change the size and font of the entire story – already it looks new and different. Funny how little aesthetic changes can make such a big difference in the way you view something.
Mind you, I should know that, I [...]
