Novel in a Month: Good, bad and red shoes

http://writeanovelinamonth.blogspot.com/2009/08/good-bad-and-red-shoes.html

Novel in a Month. Sunday, 2 August 2009. Good, bad and red shoes. Boyf gave me the first bit of his novel to read today, then hovered over me saying things like 'you hate it, don't you,' every five minutes. Men! No, let me rephrase that, Creative Men!

Novel in a Month: Everyone needs...

http://writeanovelinamonth.blogspot.com/2009/08/everyone-needs.html

Novel in a Month. Sunday, 16 August 2009. An editor. A good writer friend who will, with patience and a good eye go through your work without prejudice and make all those small deletions and highlight all the bits of overwriting and self indulgent phrases. Writing is lonely most of the time, dispiriting a lot of the time, sometimes it is frustrating, sometimes exciting and always consuming. What makes all of this bearable is having someone who understands to share it. 17 August 2009 at 17:22. Wordgirl's ...

Novel in a Month: March 2009

http://writeanovelinamonth.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Novel in a Month. Monday, 30 March 2009. There was a great deal of celebration and as I left 'The Bull' three more bottles of fizz were heading towards the table. For me, this isn't an ending at all. I've got pages of what really amounts to notes for my next book and I'm trying to clear the decks so I can get down to seeing what is there. The first thing to do will be to print it all out, get a new red pen and a pile of post-it notes. As my (don't know what. Tuesday, 24 March 2009. I'm very happy with my...

Novel in a Month: June 2009

http://writeanovelinamonth.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

Novel in a Month. Tuesday, 23 June 2009. Life of an insomniac. I woke up this morning cross, irritable and tired, the bedclothes were all over the place and the dreams were haunting me. It was supposed to be a writing day, but after several cups of coffee, a chat with a friend and a visit to the DIY shop, I still didn't feel refreshed enough to sit down and do anything constructive. I thought I'd edit last week's chapter - no, that wasn't happening either. Wednesday, 3 June 2009. Sara Bailey is away.

Novel in a Month: ps next chapter

http://writeanovelinamonth.blogspot.com/2009/08/ps-next-chapter.html

Novel in a Month. Wednesday, 12 August 2009. My innate Tiggerishness is slowly returning. I figure if we don't have hope, then really there's nothing. As writers that has to be our gift - our endless optimism and hope. I look at the next couple of pages for rewriting and they're not so bad, I start thinking about the plot again, the twists and turns my heroine is going to take, and a small frisson starts to build.

Novel in a Month: Could do better

http://writeanovelinamonth.blogspot.com/2009/08/could-do-better.html

Novel in a Month. Wednesday, 26 August 2009. What do you do when you can't write? Hey ho. Rain, wind, clouds, should be using this time efficiently before term starts and I have to turn my attention back to teaching. I had planned to do so much this summer - get the novel finished (hollow laughter), get fit (even hollower laughter). Where did it all go? What have I actually achieved? Not as much as I should. Could do better. And the weather is kindly informing me that summer is nearing the end.

Novel in a Month: May 2009

http://writeanovelinamonth.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Novel in a Month. Tuesday, 26 May 2009. One thousand words a day. Right, so I've started the new novel, and I've been working on doing a thousand words a day six days a week, with the idea that I'll finish it before the beginning of the new term in September. So far so good, I'm on day three and I've done 3,000 words which is Chapter 1. Whew! Meanwhile - off to see 'Tormented' tonight, with the bloke and youngest daughter. Tuesday, 19 May 2009. I ought to go for a walk or a run, but it is raining - again.

Novel in a Month: Out of the abyss.

http://writeanovelinamonth.blogspot.com/2009/08/out-of-abyss.html

Novel in a Month. Wednesday, 12 August 2009. Out of the abyss. It has been a horrible 24 hours. I managed to work myself up into an 'I am wasting my time, I have nothing to offer and my life is shit,' state last night, so much so, that my body resorted to its favourite pastime of not sleeping. My sister understands, but I doubt anyone else would. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I am the cutest kitten in the world. View my complete profile. How a Writer Dies. THIS BLOG NOW DECEASED.
