So this year either flew by or dragged on for a millennia, maybe both at the same time. I’m not really one for New Years. I don’t make resolutions because I wouldn’t stick to them and then I’d be disappointed if I didn’t.
It’s here! The end of the Write-a-thon! I’ve kept up the pace quite well, with many new words added to our space opera. I’ve really had a chance to sink my teeth into this world and it’s blossoming into a story I’m really proud of. Thanks to the great re-working of the plot in week […]
The UK has been hit with a heatwave, so I’ve not been quite as motivated as getting words down. That didn’t stop me from working on our space opera, I just worked earlier in the morning and later in the evenings. I’ve focused on a slightly different POV character and really tried to get into […]
I’ve really dug into our space opera this week. Thanks to our plot brainstorm last week, I’ve had a lot of new scenes to add to our early draft. Interestingly, it’s a subplot I’d always wanted to do when I originally had the idea for the novel that had dropped to the wayside. Now it’s […]
Last week I mentioned that there might be some changes after Luke attended his novel workshop. I was right, he had some great ideas and new tools which we applied to our space opera. We knew we had a great overall idea for a trilogy with a huge overall arc but hadn’t quite nailed down […]
For Week Two I’ve been busying digging into our space opera as mentioned last week. I’m really happy with the main outline of the novel, but I’m excited to include any new ideas Luke might have after his two-week stint at the CSSF SF Novel Writers Workshop. Because of that, I’ve not set anything too […]
It’s the summer which means it’s time for lots of Clarion West Write-a-Thon update posts. I’ll spend the next few weeks tracking my progress and updating here on my blog and twitter. If you’d like to sponsor me, you can do so here. I have incentivised rewards but you can just sponsor me for the […]
Early March sunshine brings busy days and happy dogs. Piglet is made for sunshine and she’s been romping. I went to the cinema with Holly to see Us because we both love horror films. We had no idea what kind of horror it was but left very satisfied. I also booked a day out with Writers […]
February has kept me busy with lots of very seasonally inappropriate sunshine that the dogs have enjoyed. I took a Writing the Other course on worldbuilding which ate into most of my spare time. It was worth it, between the lectures and the exercises it gave me some great ideas for editing Codename True Blue. […]
I’ve decided to be more positive in 2019. I’ll still be talking about my media consumption, but I’ll focus on the media I enjoyed and skip past those I don’t have much to say about or perhaps didn’t enjoy as much. I’m still going to talk about representation, though, as it does feel like it’s […]
