Getting my procrastination out of the way
Okay, so the start of this horror is taking it’s time to form in my head. I think I’m, maybe going to have to let it happen. My idea of just naming every character Becky just isn’t going to work, so I will have to build them up as individuals with goals and beliefs and…

I’m tired, and might get to the gym.
Tired in a fairly literal sense. I don’t think I realised until today, but I’ve been working really hard for a couple of years now, at writing. I’ve moved house in that time, and of course I started writing during lock-down so there was all of that stuff. I self-published my first book in June,…

I’m a paper person at heart
Okay, so you know my philosophy of learning by doing- because I can’t reasonably expect anyone to pay attention to me anyway. Just to clarify what I mean by that: I gather most writers don’t earn much. I figure I’m not going to be a gifted writer so I can only be a hard working…

Should I hold a competition?
I have to start a street gang? *Consults internet* Oh no, a street crew. ‘What is that?’ I hear you ask. I don’t really know, since I havn’t tried to start a crew before. In fact, in general I try and avoid other people where possible. It does seem like a good idea, on the…

I’ve been quiet
I just thought I’d post in case… well, in case you read my blog and you were wondering why you hadn’t heard from that weird writer in a few days. The spouse is going away again on Sunday, so I should make the most of that time. After that I’m usually sad for a couple…

I started writing a new book.
This was two nights ago. It was easier than facing the full stops, but I know I’m being bad by putting those off. I still do have to do it, but I’m being a baby. This one’s a thriller, I guess, at this stage. I’m nervous about it too, but I havn’t the slightest idea…

Pretty sure I’ve crashed.
It’s in record time, I know. I just got given my edit late last night, and technically I haven’t started on proofreading ‘the mystery game’ yet either. Thing is, I’ve been writing late, then last night I had a small sneezing fit and decided the best thing to do at 1am was to write and…

I think I’m just writing
I think everyone is a bit worse today, which is annoying. The little one was coughing all night and I don’t know if that made me feel more ill but now I’m coughing. It’s all very gross. The spouse was thoughtful though, bringing us back all the colds from England. Probably next year we won’t…

‘What lies within’
I’ve only just started reading it, really just the first few pages, but some kinda baddie just escaped from prison. I’m still reading ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’ as well, but I can’t remember which bag I put it in. Because of this, and still not being properly unpacked, I finally worked up the courage…

A classic writing challenge
I decided to do it for the sake of writing practice, but it feels more personal than I expected it to. All things considered, I think it will only be a short novel or novella but I’m writing a princess story. I don’t even know if it will be good enough to share, but who…
