It has been exactly six months since I have had time to work on my story about Roxy, the uptight and controlling broad who’s having the day from hell. The week from hell really. It’s all going pretty shit for her. I wouldn’t want to have to live through what I’m forcing her to go…
That’s either the sound of me falling to the floor in a heap or shooting myself in the head – depends on the time of month as to which option I prefer 😉 I have written hundreds of thousands of words for my university assignments. I have received feedback that was so poorly written I…
25K down. I’m the King (Queen) of the World! Hurrah! $10 says I won’t still feel this way on Monday when I realise how much actual work I neglected this week and get hauled over hot coals for it.
Greetings and salutations to you, the precious few who still actually read this 🙂 I have dusted off the old WIP and am now sitting at tens of thousands of words. I’ve handwritten the entire story in note form, which has actually been quite beneficial. It’s not something I usually do and it’s probably the…
Since I’m failing spectacularly at long-term goals at the moment, what with my several thousand short-term goals that I’m working on, I’ve decided to give NaNoWriMo a go. Why?

I don’t think I’m going to make it through my TBR pile any time soon. I’ve also got a separate pile behind me that doesn’t fit into my four (yes, FOUR) bookcases.

I was off to a good start, wasn’t I? Then Easter came and I had five days off with my husband. I used the time to catch up on my real-world assignments, as in the assignments for my university course which I am attempting while also doing a writing course and looking after Little Squiggle.…
My first week of my 100 words a day challenge has thus far been a success! I’m so pleased with myself! I’ve done quite a bit of work on this manuscript, although it doesn’t seem like it at the moment because I’ve rewritten the opening scene a few times to try and get it right.…
760 words today. I’m on fire. I haven’t gotten to my Sydney Writer’s work yet, I spent all day in and out of the x-ray/ultrasound clinic and then for another hour or so at the doctors. The verdict – cholecystectomy (fancy word meaning cutting out my gallbladder). Very unimpressed with the verdict, but given the…
