Apologies to anybody receiving odd spam/phishing/troll messages at the moment. Hopefully an eviction is imminent.

Mine would definitely be a slow write. I have no idea how I’m going to get any writing done at all between now and the New Year… Not even my Room with a view! 🙁
I’ll sign up though, and hope for the best… -

That’s 2 of us, Daeds. When were you thinking? And how would it work? I’m quite prepared to set up a support group of some kind if that will help.

The Banjo
The phone rings in the lost property office at Euston Station in London.
“Lost Property, Smith speaking, how may we help?”
He takes a sip from his tea, listens.
“Yes, sir, anything left on a train on this line ends up here. Assuming it’s turned in, like. What have you lost?

Not tempted by the NaNoWriMo, but if the Den does a SLoMoWriMo, I’m in!

Congratulations, L. Another fine story 🙂

I might sort of do it from the sidelines… use the general impetus and ground swell to push on with book 2. Very much doubt I’ll be hitting those targets, but I’d like to get some more chapters written.
Maybe we can have DeNoWriMo (Den novel writing month)

What a beautifully written story. My favourite line: “You said she made you feel young. How did she do that? I replied. Did she read you bedtime stories?”

This is brilliant! A great publication, @elle

I’ve never had a problem writing crap, but I do have a problem allowing myself to. That’s one reason I find it useful sometimes. Focussing on a goal other than perfect sentences stops me getting tied up in knots and losing all interest in what I’m doing. There is a view that all the polishing should be left for the editing.

It seems we are already buddies – I didn’t know it persisted over the years.

I’m doing NaNo this year. In process of planning new novel ready to start. I’m on there as ThrowingCopper if anyone wants to buddy up? 😊
(Think I’m already buddies with you, Ath and Daed.)

PS Discipline…what’s that?

So does that mean we have to come clean on our daily word count? Oh Lord, I really WILL have to buck my ideas up!
Am I allowed the 1st November off? Interview day for candidates for the new vicar…and guess who’s one of the interviewers? 😉 - Load More
