Progression & Hosting Changes: #ROW80 & #NaNoWriMo Updates 25/11
Welcome back all you Thanksgiving peeps. Did you enjoy your turkey and ham celebrations? Being a Brit, living in Dubai, I don't partake myself, but I still spent a little time looking around me, missing the hubs who's away at work, playing with the ever insistent pest that is Bobby, and I felt grateful for my lot. I smiled a lot yesterday. I had that silly giggly feeling and felt inside as if I'd been covered in a thick layer of hot custard: Warm, sweet and yummy. Today, I'm feeling … [Read more...]
Disappointing #ROW80 & #NaNoWriMo Updates 21/11

You see, every now and again I get offers from advertising companies who'd like to pay me for advertising their product on my blog. I'm sure you've all received the same thing if you are a fellow blogger. Sounds great? But so far, the randomness of their product has meant I said no thanks... I didn't want to back anything on my author/bookish blog which … [Read more...]
#NaNoWriMo 2012 Begins! Bring on the Caffeine
I missed ROW80 updates yesterday - I'd previously scheduled another post and allowed myself to enjoy a few hours of freedom after finally emailing my MS (Finding Esta) to my editor! Hurrah :)Then, early evening I thought it was time to check out my NaNo account, and open up a new doc. in Scrivener. I have thebook at my side, ready to help my little brain work my way though it and I made that all important decision - What will I write this year?Answer: the 1st re-write of the second … [Read more...]
