Ha @johnalty 🙂 My solution is for husband to go away for a month at a time. Space in marriage is much underestimated 🙂

good for you, @squidge. Moving forward despite all that is a major achievement. My (belated) approach would be to move on with the next bit of the story, I think. especially if you’ve got exciting bits to look forward to writing! I also find that writing the future can often inform the ‘past’ in that you can tweak and foreshadow knowing what comes…[Read more]

Happy belated birthday @richardb! I read of someone (name escapes me) who used to collect rejections and aimed for a certain number each month, each one being an achievement and a measurement of activity and submission. So each one worthy of celebration. I’ve actually found that approach helpful myself, bizarre though it seems…

@janeshuff is that actually a true story, or tongue in cheek? I am intrigued…

Sadly not @kazg. Not even sitting in front of the computer preparing to write makes me want to go and clean.

🙂 you and me both, @janeshuff

It’s a dangerous road, indeed – I have never been seriously tempted down The Cleaning Way, except perhaps like @athelstone as a procrastinatory device. Much better to maintain low standards. It’s hard work, but worth it (all that TIME!). Also, kids. Train them up. They get quite useful as they get older.

Could not agree with you more on that, @Raine. There is no shame in surviving. Doing what you have to do in a system stacked against you.

This is so interesting, Richard. I don’t have any special knowledge about the Ripper case but it does sound like this is historical writing being bent to fit at agenda. I recently met with an Australian writer, Clare Wright, who won a major prize down here (the Stella Prize) for her book on women at the Eureka Stockade – an historical event that…[Read more]

December SloMo 7 years agoHi SloMoers, how’s it going? One bit of exciting news from my own endless submission process – Danielle told me that Lisa (the Penguin editor) has confirmed she’s taking When Days Tilt to an acquisitions meeting after Easter!! Hooray! I thought she’d reject it so my gut feel was WRONG. Thank goodness. Still no guarantees of course, but one step in…[Read more]

That’s fantastic news Kaz and I am keeping everything crossed for you.

Whoop whoop yay whoo hoo!!!! This is fantastic news, @kazg, so so pleased for you! I will keep it all crossed, but whatever happens, it bodes VERY well for the book overall. And I LOVE the title! Crossing everything, and please keep us posted.

Oh wow, what a story @philippaeast. Suspense and pacing tight as a drum, cool and utterly unnerving. Brilliant!

Hooray, the more the merrier! I’ve sent you both invites and I see you’ve settled in already Squidge 🙂
@squidge that doesn’t make you stupid, I did exactly the same thing the first time I did NaNo 🙂

HI all, a few of us have signed up to do Camp NaNoWriMo in April. It’s much like NaNoWriMo in November, except you choose your own target. I’m ready to tackle the next version of my current wip so the timing is perfect for me, and maybe you too!
Anyway if anyone feels like a challenge and a few co-writing cheerleaders, I’ve set up a private…[Read more]

Found you @janeshuff! You ARE called Janeshuff, but for some reason you don’t come up in the dropdown menu – but I think I still managed to send you a message and an invitation. I’ve think I’ve also invited @jillybean and @daedalus to join Camp – did that come through, you two?
