I was going to post yesterday
I’m still easing into writing mode, I suppose, and I want to work out a healthier pace than I have been going at. Madeira is such a pretty island, and the weather is starting to warm up again. Actually, the winter is very mild, but this year it’s rained quite a lot. Summer can be…

Oh hey, this has happened
I’ve mandated myself to take a week off except for generic self-publishing chores, but look at this: I accidentally got to the no. 1 spot in a category, and it came with a little flag. I doubt it’ll stay that way, but I’m keeping the screen shots =) Also, it might technically be in the…

Heheh, I made my husband cry
This is great news. I thought I wouldn’t be able to. He teared up at a couple of the sad parts, and some of the happy parts (of my version of Cinderella), but then he cried at the end. Good, good, good, good. *Rubs hands together in delight* *Skulks back to writing cave*

Happy ever after! First draft finished =D
Phew, it all worked out in the end. Thank goodness. Man I can’t believe Cinderella married a prince, who could have seen that coming? Seriously though, my draft is finished. Currently sitting at 33,000 words, which is more than I’d guessed. I really didn’t expect that one to be such a trial to write. I…

Also, I wrote a blurb
I’m back from procrastinating. I had a good swim and sauna and I’m very relaxed. I feel like I might not be the best at blurbs, so let me know if you have any suggestions with this one: “A version of the popular fairy tale Cinderella, but not like you’ve read before. This is more…

Oh, maybe I can do it
Though, it’s just a first draft, I’m starting to think maybe I can get it done. You might remember that I guessed this novella would be around 27,000 words? Well, as of now I’m at 27,800, which is great. I think I’m a couple of chapters off finishing though. I’m guessing it’ll be 30k at…
