QUARTERLY GOALS July – Sep 2017

So as well head into the second half of the year, I thought I'd share with you my goals for the upcoming quarter because if I don't share them, they won't get done. Nothing like the phantom of expectation to motivate! Here’s what I’ll be working on over the next three months. I’d really appreciate …

June Wrap Up

June's done. The year's half over. Get keen though, because it's wrap-up season! June has been such a good reading month for me and I hit my writing goal by the middle of the month (which makes the fact that I spent all of my usual big writing day on Wednesday in a total slump …

Looking Back on NaNoWriMo

First of all, a big hello to all my new followers! Ok, now onto the meat of the post. NaNoWriMo. I'm happy to say that, for the first time, I actually hit the 50,000 goal working only on the one WIP. In previous years, I've counted essays, blog posts, hell, even shopping lists, to try …

NaNoWriMo -Day 12 *25,000*

So it's day 12 of NaNoWriMo (the end of in my time zone), and my momentum has really slowed since my last update. I managed to hit my targets on 5th - 8th but the news which came out of America on the 9th threw me a lot more than I was expecting. I also had …

NaNoWriMo Update – Day 5

Hello, hello! I hope you're all having a wonderful and productive day! We're already five days into NaNoWriMo 2016 and, to be quite frank, I'm already exhausted. In the lead up to NaNo this year, I was feeling a bit uncertain about my story. It's something I first came up with almost two years ago …

NaNoWriMo Prep – You Need a Plan

Yes, you. You need a plan, I need a plan, we all need a plan if we are going to tackle the 50,000 word challenge and emerge as healthy, happy human beings at the end of it. There's a general attitude in the amateur writing community that there are two basic types of writer: The …

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 …

Book Challenge Update – July

Can you believe we are already more than half way through the year?? I hadn't realised it's already been two months since my last update! Oops! In the past few weeks, I have sort of lost pace in my reading. However, as I'm only aiming for 26 books this year, I have faith that I'm …
