I am boring for New Zealand about writing something different on the Sisters’ blog today. I’d like to say you might win something if you do. But sadly all you’ll win is my excellent regard for your good taste. 🙂

Novella Love
Okay, so things in Ashenden world aren’t so great. On the up side, I have nearly finished my novella. And when I mean novella, I mean the-little-story-I-thought-would-be-20k-at-most-that-ended-up-being-47k novella. I have no idea why this story got so out of hand. I thought it would be a nice little friends-to-lovers story, where the heroine asks the … Continue reading “Novella Love”
Grim Determination
I was going to do a Valentine’s Day post but…well…I didn’t. I’ve been too busy hanging on to this writing gig by the skin of my teeth. I think in my last post I questioned why we do this thing and y’know, for the past few days I’ve been thinking about it. The answer I … Continue reading “Grim Determination”
Hiding
I know, I’ve been gone for a wee while. Two weeks of mad writing, closely followed by a full-on doubt spiral and crash. No reason for it, just….Well, actually, I tell a lie. The trigger was a narrow miss on finalling in a contest. Which I should NOT have got so wound up about but … Continue reading “Hiding”
To the Bat – ahem – Writing Cave!
Talk about timing. I go camping with the family (let us not mention tents and the dismantling of said edifices in the rain) and the next day find out that I have won a full request from a pitch competition! Argh!!! Why the argh? Well, I’m camping for a week with patchy internet access and … Continue reading “To the Bat – ahem – Writing Cave!”
The Big Seckrit
You know the big secret? The one that our hero hides because he doesn’t want anyone else to know? Or the one that the heroine never talks about and is afraid someone will find out? Like, the hero used to steal cars and one time, when he was chased by the cops, he hit someone … Continue reading “The Big Seckrit”
Rethinking The 10%
Last year I posted a somewhat gloomy post about how getting published was 30% talent, 30% hard work, 30% persistence, and 10% of luck (or something like that – don’t ask me to check). And that the problem I had with that equation was that the 10% was something you had no control over. It … Continue reading “Rethinking The 10%”
A Romantic Start to 2012
So, this is what 2012 is like… *walks around* *sniffs the air* Okay, not too bad so far. No rejections at least so that’s something. Still, the year is but a nipper which means there’s plenty of time for Rs to come rolling in… Sigh. Positive much? On the up side, my New Year started … Continue reading “A Romantic Start to 2012”
Happy Christmas and Good Riddance 2011
Haven’t posted much recently – still suffering the post-Chessman slump. Which then morphed into another ‘all my writing sucks’ slump. Which morphed further into a ‘everything sucks’ slump. Cue endless rounds of Angry Birds and Pocket Frogs on Brad the iPad. Anyway, this is wishing everyone a happy Christmas and New Year from me here … Continue reading “Happy Christmas and Good Riddance 2011”
