12 May 2010 by shoepixie, 4 Comments. I’m not a writer. Not a. One, anyhow. I’ve never been paid for my writing, I’ve only a few times even been printed, and none of those. Count I’m not known, I don’t write dependably or easily or consistently, and I am woefully out of touch with the publishing business and even modern literature. I’m not a writer. Write I love to write. It’s rather nerve-wracking to share these little stories and such, but I hope you like reading them. The Stained-Glass Puzzle Lady.

Davina Pearson: March 2009
http://davina-m.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 31 March 2009. Edits and Duh Moments. I have started on my edits - and despite all my apprehension, I'm really enjoying it. I don't know if I'm doing it 'right' as such, but it feels pretty satisfying all the same. To help me get an idea of a good process, I looked over on the NaNoEdMo. Site for some recommendations, and that was useful. But what really helped was Holly Lisle's article on How to Revise a Novel. As for the Thinking Sideways. Posted by Davina Pearson. How to think sideways. When I...

Davina Pearson: May 2009
http://davina-m.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 20 May 2009. May Goals, Sims 2 and Other Stuff. Okay, so I think it's time for another update on my May goals. If it's just crossed out with no explanation, then I already covered it in my first update on my May goals. Write a 3000 word short story - it's pretty much all planned out now, and even has a working title (which is more than I can say for my NaNo), so I hope to get started on that in the next couple of days. Work through Lesson 8 of the How to Think Sideways. Edit the short story.

Davina Pearson: First Writing Conference - Argh!
http://davina-m.blogspot.com/2010/04/first-writing-conference-argh.html
Friday, 9 April 2010. First Writing Conference - Argh! Well, here goes. I'm currently sitting on the train heading to York, going to my first ever writing conference, the Festival of Writing. I think I'll be fine when I get there, but at the moment I'm mainly trying not to think about it! Still, I'm getting through it, although I'm itching to get this draft done so I can start playing with my new shiny plot idea. All I've let myself do is write down a couple of sentences on what the story's about, an...

Davina Pearson: July 2009
http://davina-m.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Monday, 27 July 2009. SocNoc, Blogging Fail and New Routines. June was an utterly insane month, as we moved house and juggled some of our biggest jobs ever, and as a result I didn't do very well in SocNoc. At all. I wasn't really expecting to win, but I only managed 12,336 words, which was less than satisfying. Still, I'm up to 25K in the new manuscript and really enjoying the story, so I won't complain too much. If you're at all interested.). Posted by Davina Pearson. How to think sideways. A couple of ...

Davina Pearson: Revisions, query letters and creativity
http://davina-m.blogspot.com/2010/03/revisions-query-letters-and-creativity.html
Friday, 12 March 2010. Revisions, query letters and creativity. I've been feeling a real need for other creative input in my life lately, which has mainly manifested itself in something of a book-buying binge. Financially, this isn't a great thing, but from the point of view of that whole filling-the-creative-well idea? What do you do to keep that creative well from running dry? Posted by Davina Pearson.

Davina Pearson: February 2009
http://davina-m.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Friday, 20 February 2009. I missed posting last week, since I spent the whole of Friday curled up on the sofa with the worst headache I've had in ages. I can't remember why I missed the week before, but you have my apologies! Will be made all the more difficult. Sentence of the Week:. There was no echo, the words falling dead in the air, and not even a murmur came back to me. I looked around carefully, through the trees that were no longer quite so close together but which seemed to go on forever, bu...

Davina Pearson: November 2009
http://davina-m.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Friday, 27 November 2009. Dana Is My New Best Friend. I've been longing to get an Alphasmart for months. For the last few weeks, I've been watching Ebay like a hawk, and generally losing out at the last minute to sniper bidders. This week, however, I got lucky, and won myself a lovely Alphasmart Dana. It was particularly good since I've lost a bit of my lead over the last couple of weeks - I've managed to stay ahead of the minimum NaNoWriMo. But there's a special kind of energy that comes from actually b...

Davina Pearson: September 2009
http://davina-m.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Friday, 18 September 2009. So Yes. Once again, rather a long time between posts. what can I say? Anyway, despite the very small progress I've been making on the writing front, I have learned one or two things recently. It really is easier if you write every day. If I plot, I have to plot every scene. I need to be more flexible about my writing time. In other news, I was delighted to learn recently that Will Write For Wine. Posted by Davina Pearson.
