December Overview
A few days late posting this. It have had a very busy couple of weeks! I spent most of December focusing on family and social occasions, so I did not get a lot done in the way of writing. Writing After finishing my first draft at the end of November I took a week off …
Writing Update: Editing Chapter 1
I started editing the other day and when I got to the end of chapter 2 I realised I had not even added in the things I wanted to add. I had only really worked on sentence structure and the flow of the story… So, today I went back over my prologue and chapter 1 …
Writing Update: Started Editing
I finally started editing my WiP, after finishing my first draft last week. I had spent so much time on writing during November that I really wanted to catch up with some other things first. Though, now I realise that this was also just an excuse. I find that I have very little motivation for …
November Overview
I thought October was a good month, so I guess that makes November just awesome! I must say, I am pretty pleased with my progress this month! I did decide to put my poetry on hold for the time being so I had more time to focus on other things, but I am enjoying the …

Writing Update: Challenge #2
I’m still going pretty strong with my writing and, if I am to be honest, I am quite proud of myself. Considering my limited writing opportunities, I think I am doing fairly well. For the 6th and 7th of November I averaged 1800 words per day. Then on the 8th I had another writing challenge …
Writing Update: On a Roll!
So I decided against doing NaNo this year. I have never done it before and I was worried that the pressure of writing 50k words in one month would reduce my enjoyment of writing, especially since I have been enjoying the balance I have in my life at the moment. That being said, I am …
