Thanks @daedalus – still hasn’t completed sunk in but I am lucky to have a great support system. That’s one of the things I love about the writing community.

That’s amazing Elle, well done. Thoroughly deserved, of course. I love your craft, your prose is amazing and you’re one of those writers where every word is perfectly chosen, so I look forward very much to the result!

CoronaMo 6 years, 1 month agoSubmitted a bunch of flash things to various magazines today AND did my monthly comp entry. For day 1 of homeschooling, I’m giving myself a gold star! 🙂
-
Well done, Raine. I managed a newsletter and 1000 words of current wip but a) I don’f have children so I did not have home schooling to contend with and b) every one of those words felt like I extracted them with pliers!

Gold star is well-deserved!

Well done, Raine.

That’s good going, Raine. Your comp entry is amazing.

Aw fankyoo! I am pantsing everything (writing and life) at the moment, but it was a fun one to write. 🙂

Pantsing seems to be working very well for you 🙂

@jillsted – Thank you!

Okay, so there’s danger in crowds. So let’s escape from the crowded city and go to the seaside, or the country………where we will crowd out the beaches and the cafés and the ice-cream stands…

That is what has happened here, Richard, and now the beaches and coastal paths are closed.

WTF is so hard to understand about social distancing? It drives me bonkers to see how people behave. I have a very large personal space zone at the best of times, which is serving me well. I have become adept at managing my supermarket trolley to keep people at a distance.

We’ve a very popular chippy in our harbour. It, and every other food place in the village had switched to take out/delivery only, which seemed doable for keeping them in business. But there were so many tourists day-tripping or holiday-house-visiting at the weekend that the chippy queue went down the street, meaning that they’ve had to take the…[Read more]

This emergency really does seem to be bringing out the worst in people – and I don’t just mean stupidity. MrsB relayed to me today a news item she’d found on-line, to the effect that refuse collectors are reporting a 30% increase in food waste, some of it still in its packaging. To spell it out, this means that the bastard hoarders are not only…[Read more]

Happy Mothering Sunday to all the mother Denizens.
Hoping to have a Facetime session with son and grandsons later today and I have younger grandson’s weekly story already written for him. The present series features all of us in one guise or another and I am back to the age of six, which is a lovely feeling. Each adventure begins in the…[Read more]

CoronaMo 6 years, 1 month agoThank you Jane and Raine. My immediate intention is to revisit/re edit a book for younger children and my Lucy Rainbow ‘opus’ with a view to submitting them again. Also to continue working on something which combines new prose and my past poetry. May never be a market for that but it will give me great satisfaction and may be of interest to fam…[Read more]

Sounds like a nice range of projects for you to move between when the mood takes you! I struggle with the multi-projecting, which is all I’ve been doing for aaaages, but I’m hoping to actually pick one project and stick for it for a while!
-
Oh! How I emphasise . Lovely to have so many ideas, but must focus on one of a time if possible. On the other hand, I suspect we are both skilled multitaskers in many areas!
-
I envy you both. I find it very difficult to work on more than one thing at a time.

This is SO SO SO fantastic! And what a ride! Laure really has worked so hard for this, constantly writing and submitting short stories, going on courses, writing and re-writing her novel(s), and continually striving for her break. SO PROUD OF HER!

CoronaMo 6 years, 1 month ago“What’s new, Sandra?”
Regrettably, nothing. 42K+ words into my current wip, taking some pains to streamline the process, not make the same mistakes, I realise I am still incapable of identifying, plotting the story until the characters tell me who they are and what is happening.
After a couple of weeks of floundering (necessary, it appears) I…[Read more] - Load More
