Arkem: I’m having a “I’d rather be napping” day. Me: Aw. That was my yesterday. Although to be fair, I’ve only just woken up today and I’m not sure yet that I don’t regret it. The problem with being ridiculously sleep deprived is not that I can’t write. I write just fine when I’m out […]

I have around a quarter of the book left to edit at this point and my sidebar is full of these weird sarcastic notes to self. Last week when I was sick I wasn’t really focusing clearly enough to want to mess with the text so I just flipped through it and made comments. That’s […]

Sometimes the second draft is where I go back in and make the intention of it clear from the mess of words I threw at the page the first time. Sometimes I write things and I have no idea what I’m doing and the second draft is me finding something in the text I had […]

Screw passive aggressive, my notes to self have ramped up to aggressive aggressive. My favourite piece of advice in my notes today? Cut this. Or change it to something… better.

Me: Tomorrow’s Monday! Rick: (flatly) I love you, bear. Me: I shouldn’t say that with so much glee? Rick: Yeah. It’s possible that I was a little more than reasonably excited about getting back to work this week. But come on, I knew it was going to be fun. I’ve been running through the last […]

So I’m just now realising that I didn’t tell you I finished the book. I finished the book!* What now, you ask? Basking in the glory of the finished work? Anxiety spiral about whether it’s good enough? Celebratory jello shots and dancing on the table? The last one, definitely. Beyond that I decided to take […]

There’s a… well, I’m going with thing rather than ‘problem’ that arises in my plan rewrite Path. As it stands the first book moves very slowly, which is a product of the fact that when I was writing it I didn’t know what I was doing. I didn’t know my story, I hadn’t had any […]
