Too many words

I haven’t been blogging much lately and that seems to be the opening line of my last few blog posts. Recurring theme perhaps? It’s not that I haven’t had anything to blog about, no quite the opposite. My brain is full of blog fodder, but getting it in order is the difficult part.

When I come to blog I tend to let the words just roll off my fingertips, direct from my brain. A lot of the time they don’t make much sense until I go back and edit them, putting them in a sensible order and polishing the paragraphs so they are nice and shiny. But lately I’ve been confused.

How not to write

typewriter teacup

So I've been focusing on writing this week. Really focusing. I'm aiming for 500 words a day on my novel and I'm working on a couple of articles and pitches. But... things don't always go to plan. Unfortunately for me I do my best writing when the clock hits about 11pm the other unfortunate thing is that is supposed to be bedtime. However, today … [Continue reading]

Start spreading the news…

It wasn't until my early twenties when my feet became itchy, my then … [Continue reading]

Happy Endings

fairy tale

I've been writing again. The ever-amazing Anna Spargo-Ryan has kicked my butt into gear via our NaNoWriMo writing group on Facebook, inviting us to be accountable to each other and aim for 500 words a day for each day in June. It's worked. I find I need accountability, not only for the pats on the back but for the support when something doesn't … [Continue reading]

Sharing something that’s not mine

Something far away from the realities of my life, a hiding place if you will. But it is Tuesday and I did want to blog today so I began wracking my brain, shaking the contents around like trying … [Continue reading]

For winter

I'm not a winter person, never have been. The coldness of winter makes me want to hibernate like the North American Grizzly Bear. Wouldn't it be nice?... … [Continue reading]

Time to run

running

Me and running are not generally friends. We have a sort of love / hate relationship, actually to be honest, it verges on more of the hate side. You see I'm not actually a good runner, in fact 'running' by definition is not what I do. It's more of a jog really, or a Cliff Young shuffle - remember him? Anyhow, after a little spell from the … [Continue reading]
