WIPpet and Beta Reader Call Out

Hello once again, my lovelies. For those of you who saw my post on Monday (Five Things I've Learnt About Keeping it Together), you'll know I'm beginning to look for better readers. As I've been editing, I've found that there are some sections which I simply cannot be objective enough about to edit properly or I cannot see …

Five Things I’ve Learnt About Keeping it Together + Beta Call Out

Brilliant news! Yesterday (while supposedly writing my 3000 word essay which is due sooner than I’d like to admit) I managed to fix a plot point in Queen of Hearts that’s been bugging me for years and add nearly 2000 words to my word count which means I can afford to cut 2000 words worth …

The Ticking Clock

Hosted by the lovely and prolific K.L. Schwengel, to who we are all eternally in debt, WIPpet Wednesday seems to be in full force. Unlike my assignments... Anyway, welcome. As I mentioned in my last post, I have decided on a new blogging format. Yes, I know, I've done so before with varying levels of …

A Belated Happy Easter and a Timely WIPpet

Hello all, I hope you had a lovely Easter filled with family and chocolate. Today is Wednesday and I do have a WIPpet for you bit I think from now on I'm going to take a slightly different approach to WIPpet Wedensday's. Rather than post random snippets, I'll post consecutive ones starting with today's offering. …

Progress and Backwards Steps

We all know what it is like to juggle real life and writing. It takes effort and dedication and a lot of hard slog. Nevertheless, that knowledge doesn't make it any easier. That said, I finally began to edit this week. It was not much mind, but something. I think what spurred me on was …

A Late Addition

Yes, I know it is getting rather late and in some parts of the world (mine included) it is well past Wednesday. Oops. Nevertheless, according to wordpress I still have 50 mins to write and post this. So it totally counts, right? Due to assignments and other obligations I haven't yet got around to writing …

A Journey Through Time

Last Friday I opened WordPress to check and reply to the comments and found a surprise waiting for in the notifications bar - a trophy and a congratulatory message on two years of this blog. Two years is a long time and I have trouble believing it is that long because it feels to me …

Tragedies and the Loss of Innocence

I don't know how to describe my feelings about this WIPpet post. The events that occur in the scene I will present break my heart but mostly because I know what has happened, and what will happen. Hopefully for the rest of you, without all its context, it won't be too disheartening. But more on …

The Perils and Pitfalls of Not Being Bothered

I'm writing this post in the twenty minutes before I have to run to class because I know if I leave it until this evening, I'll be in one of those why bother moods. But before we get into the main purpose of today, the WIPpet, here's an update on progress so far. Before I …

The Mid-week Blues

So it's only Wednesday and already I'm over uni despite it only being back three days. However, I did get a few rounds of editing done on Queen of Hearts before I had to return to my academic reality. If last year is anything to go by, I'm unlikely to do much more on the editing front …
