If you’re a regular reader (*waves*), you may have seen my previous post on memories of my first NaNoWriMo – and how I didn’t touch my first draft for months because I was scared! With that in mind, I’m going to trial a new service specially tailored to first-time NaNoWriMo participants. I’m calling it aContinue reading “Black Friday weekend offer: first-look edit!”

NaNoWriMo: remembering the first time!
Do you NaNo? I haven’t this year, but I can still remember the first time. That makes it sound as if it was decades ago. It was actually in 2015 – but that seems like a VERY long time ago now! I’ve written so much since then… If you’re reading this and saying ‘Hang on,Continue reading “NaNoWriMo: remembering the first time!”
New year, same goals…
At least I’m getting in with the new year’s goals post quicker than I did last year! I won’t get into whether it’s a new decade or not because people will start squabbling, so let’s move along. Here’s a recap of last year’s goals: Work smarter, not harder Try some new things Get fitter 2019Continue reading “New year, same goals…”
Words complete! NaNoWriMo continued…
And then we came to the end… Of the book, that is, not NaNoWriMo. As with book 1 in this series, the end rushed up at me. I’d left my protagonist Maisie Frobisher in rather a sticky situation the day before, and I knew I needed some careful plotting to get her out of itContinue reading “Words complete! NaNoWriMo continued…”
On the road again: adventures in NaNoWriMo
I’ve been meaning to write this post for at least a week now, but life and more particularly events and book launches have got in the way. But now here I am, and having got my words for the day done, I have a bit of space to talk about NaNoWriMo. Or NaNoDicto, as it’s becomeContinue reading “On the road again: adventures in NaNoWriMo”
Words complete!
The first draft of the first Maisie Frobisher book (now provisionally titled All At Sea) has marched to its conclusion! Literally, as I’ve been dictating it on walks. I had planned to finish the book today, but as it turned out the book had other ideas, and demanded to be finished on Friday. It droveContinue reading “Words complete!”
Adventures in knitting…new book progress!
A couple of blog posts ago I mentioned that I’d started a new book, and that I was dictating it (here is the blog if you missed it). Things are moving on apace. Most days I’ve been going out for a walk, with the chapter outline in my head and phone in hand. Usually IContinue reading “Adventures in knitting…new book progress!”
Not the NaNo’Clock News
Please forgive the pun-tastic title, but I can’t help it. You see, it’s November, NaNoWriMo month, and other people are posting on social media and blogging about their super word counts and how far they’ve got with their stories and how they feel it’s all coming together. Normally at this stage of the year, I’dContinue reading “Not the NaNo’Clock News”
Why I’m not doing NaNoWriMo this year
It feels weird to say out loud that I’m not going to be taking part in NaNoWriMo this time around. Admittedly I haven’t been writing long, in the grand scheme of things, but NaNo in November, and Camp NaNo in April and July, formed part of my goals and targets and gave a bit ofContinue reading “Why I’m not doing NaNoWriMo this year”
#NaNoWriMo final week: In which I write ‘The End’!
Made it! My third NaNoWriMo is safely completed, emailed to myself, put on a memory stick and saved on two different computers. Not that I’m paranoid. As I suspected, things speeded up. Not because I’m bored of writing, or of the story, but I always get faster towards the end. I was practically holding myselfContinue reading “#NaNoWriMo final week: In which I write ‘The End’!”
