Right. I am now back at the right end of the country. The chicken pox is gone. After a week of family stuff, a funeral, and quite a lot of wine, I’m ready to get back to work properly. I did manage to get some work done this week, but I tried to take the … Continue reading »

ROW 80 Check In #6 (now with added pox)
First off, thank you all for your birthday wishes, and congratulations on hitting 20k. I’m sorry I haven’t had a chance to go back through and reply to all the comments, but as the title suggests, the daughter came down with chicken pox on the same day we drove up to Wales for the bank … Continue reading »
ROW 80 Check In #5 (now with added cupcakes)
The only goal I had for today’s check in was to hit 20,000 words on my Sea Fever polish/revision. And as of this lunchtime, I’m there! I’ve got lots more to do, of course, but it’s my birthday today. So for now, I’m going to eat a vanilla cupcake with rose pink buttercream icing, and … Continue reading »
A Day Late & A Dollar Short (ROW80 4th check in)
This weekend got away from me a little bit. No, actually, this weekend stomped on my head and sent me crying to my Mummy.

Reading Claire’s comment on my last ROW80 check in post, about how Real Life can be pushy, got me to thinking about how my imaginary life stands up to the domineering force of reality. In my imaginary life, I am a full time writer, sitting at my pretty white desk, tapping away at my top of … Continue reading »
ROW80 – Second Check In
The second half of this week has rather gotten away from me – as evidenced by the fact that instead of the two posts planned between Wednesday’s check in and today’s, my blog skips straight from one to the other. Continue reading »
ROW80 – First Check In
I know we’re only three days into this challenge, but so far, it’s going pretty well. My goals for the 80 days are: Finish my edits on Sea Fever and submit to agents Plot, develop characters for, and write a first draft of Tea & Devilry And, over the last three days, I’ve edited 8,500 … Continue reading »
A Round of Words in 80 Days
You know, I have enough on my plate right now. I already signed up for May Bootcamp at Savvy and agreed that a June Revision Hell would be a great idea. I have edits to finish before any of that, a have a week away at my parents later this month and a week on holiday … Continue reading »
