The Sun Returns (and other updates)

I finally bought Scrivener! Woo! Since April, I've been rationing my dwindling supply of trial days while I wait to have enough money to buy the full product. Even with the discount code from winning CampNaNoWriMo, I've had to wait this long thanks to a number of unexpected expenses. Hopefully, now having full access will …

Row80 Update

Practice Duolingo everyday - excepting Tuesday, yes Listen to music/watch a show in one of my target languages twice a week Write 500 words every week day (2500 a week) - Nope. I wrote maybe a 100th of that, I think... Read a book a fortnight - I finished My Brilliant Friend and even wrote a review …

A Slow Start

So week 1 of ROW80 Round 3, has gone quite slowly but I had the opportunity to go home and visit my family and friends for the first time in months and I 100% will always put that ahead of writing. I may or may not one day be a successful author but I'd rather …

A Little Late to the Party

Round 3 of ROW80, the writing challenge that knows you have a life, started yesterday. I'm one day late but I hope the ROW80 gods will understand. After months of working six days a week I finally secured myself a two day weekend and went to see my family and proceeded to forget entirely about …

Charging Towards the Finish Line

I have come to the realisation that the end of this round of ROW80 is terrifyingly close. Because I've been so swamped for the last few weeks, I haven't been setting myself weekly goals and so I don't have those to respond to today. Instead, I'm going to take a quick look at where I'm …

It’s still Sunday somewhere, right?

So this post is a little late but that is because this weekend was Eurovision. If you know me, you'll know how obsessed I am with the glittery, spandexy, fire show that is Europe's answer to avoiding conflict. Seriously. Therefore, I was little distracted and didn't have a chance to post my ROW80 update til …

Its gonna be May

And it is! Where did April disappear to?? Before I get into the meaty part of ROW80, I wanted to remind you that I've begun the search for beta readers for my New Adult Historical Fantasy. If this sounds like your thing, you can find out more here. 🙂 Now, onto the main business. These …

ROW80 winds onward

Last round, I fell into a definite rhythm. This round, I feel maybe not so much. Last week, I was working on a computer which was having a passionate affair with death. Sick of it's unfaithfulness, I've turned it in for a newer, younger model. I am now actually so excited about working on a …

How Time Flies: Round 2 Week 2

I'd like the say that despite what the colours below might indicate, I am quite pleased with what I achieved this week. Especially as my computer is now at the point of crashing at least once per session. So this was basically me: Anyway, moving straight along.... These were my goals for the week: Reading Sasha (probably) …

ROW80 Update, the First

One week into Round 2 of ROW80. So far, so good. You can find my goals for the whole round here. My goals for this week were: Choosing a book for the fortnight. I’m currently reading Cross Stitch  but that’s much too long for me to finish in time. - Yesterday, I bought Me Before You (Jojo …
