A guilt free day off

I didn’t write yesterday, not because I didn’t want to, but because I thought a day off would be good.
Typically prior ‘day off’s have been decided at the end of the day, when I’m tired and the baby has fallen asleep on me, or things just aren’t clicking – in reality, that’s not much of [...]

Ahh sleep deprivation

Seriously, sometimes I am totally fine with it, and other days it’s all I can do to get through til a reasonable sleeping hour (yes, 8pm IS a reasonable hour to go to bed!).  A couple of nights ago my best sleep was 2.5hours (her tummy was sore), which really isn’t a whole lot, so [...]

Sunday

I am seriously lacking in the ‘interesting post title’ area at the moment, but oh well.
I got some writing done yesterday! I brushed over some stuff, but they were dead scenes, nothing important was going to happen (okay, ONE thing which was mentioned which I will eventually go back and write in). I needed some [...]

Saturday morning

It’s raining. But that’s okay – it means no two hour walk in the park, which might equate to me actually getting something done today.
This week has been very rough on the old writing front. Sickness, teething, sleep deprivation and computer issues rose up to block my path, and my progress was very slow, I [...]

9K and an almost tooth

I put Lauren to bed last night, got back up and wrote for a half hour or so – managed to pound out enough words to get me through to just over 9,000. You know what? I might just be able to hit the 10K I said I’d like to today! It’s exciting to see [...]

One more day

And today is that day! I have lots to do if I want to get everything tidied up before tomorrow – I have a very strong feeling that I won’t quite be finished with the edits on Lifelines, but I am okay about that. I can complete the last bits in early January as well [...]

Woo!

Yesterday went well
I only wrote a little over 500 words but it was something, and it got me started again. I’d left off at one of those stupidly hard places to start writing, so committing myself to doing it and just getting it done no matter how crappy it felt was a big [...]

Saturday

It’s getting on, and I can’t think of a better title right now… lol sad isn’t it?
Today I did a crit. Whew! It feels good to have one done, now I just need to get to work on the one for Paul. There is an updated version of the story he emailed through tonight so [...]

Ah, it feels good

I managed to stay in bed til 5am this morning – that’s a whole 2 hour improvement on the time I normally head to the couch! I’m not putting my money on it being a permanent change, but it’s nice to know that Lauren is coming around to the idea of sleeping in her bassinet.
So [...]

Another night on form

I am so tired this evening, and I was quite tempted to stop writing when I hit 75K, which would be 600 words shy of my daily word count goal. Regardless I plunged onwards, and I’m glad I did. There is one short scene to go before I can move onto something a little more [...]
