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] -

CoronaMo 6 years, 1 month agoI saw you’d done it @raine but I can’t look until I have had a go myself. Well done on the new pantser WIP. Enjoy. You can always be like me and spend months trying to get it into some sort of shape afterwards.

The Spring Has Sprung
‘The birdies is upon the wing, but that’s absurd.’
Tom was on his hundredth rendition of the poem when I clutched his hand and pointed to the merry-go-round.
‘Look, Tom. Your Uncle Fred and I used to play on that when we were your age. Do you want a go?’
He pulled himself free and ran to it with excited bouncing s…[Read more]

I said on Twitter, but will say again here because this is worth double congratulations …. YAY!!! I’m so delighted for you. Not at all surprised that you’ve found yourself an agent, and cant’ wait to see where you go from here. 🙂

CoronaMo 6 years, 1 month agoI did the decluttering exercise the other day, @janeshuff. But yes @janette, I might try the monthly prompt as a mini-challenge next week. I’ve actually just speed-written 1,300 words of a brand new wip with NO PLANNING WHATSOEVER, which is Very Not Me! I figure in the absence of an ability to concentrate, maybe I should give pantsing a go! 😀
-
@Raine, I feel very guilty about this, but my meeting with the agent today has left me with quite a list of ‘to do’s’ she wants done quickly, and I’m not sure I’ll be able to make the comp.
Re the new wip, best of luck, though I feel it is in very capable hands and sometimes no planning comes up with surprising results! -
@Raine – sounds liberating. Long may it continue.

Don’t anyone worry about the monthly competition. Janette and Jane or anyone else, please don’t feel any pressure to participate. I understand.
-
😀 I guess March is proving a little distracting. But I think a mini prompt might be just the thing for week one of homeschooling!

CoronaMo 6 years, 1 month agoI am going to try @janette to combine the monthly comp and the decluttering exercise somehow. Maybe it will be a mistake!

CoronaMo 6 years, 1 month agoJust noticed that no-one’s partaken in the monthly comp so far. Might this be a good distraction from that which shall not be mentioned? I’m pretty busy but will try and fit it in.

Wow, brilliant news, Elle. All I can say, apart from well done, is that with that much interest, your book must be top notch!

Thank you for all your lovely comments. I was on the brink of giving up and am so-o glad I didn’t. There is a chance that I will be able to meet with my agent tomorrow, providing lock-down doesn’t happen first. I’ll keep you posted.

CoronaMo 6 years, 1 month agoSo today I wrote lesson plans for a four week writing course I will hopefully be running at Falkland Palace at some point (thanks to @seagreen). Having only taught primary school kids before, I’ll be slightly going to the other extreme audience-wise, I imagine! Likely to feature fewer zombies and superheroes perhaps! Still, it feels quite exciting. 🙂
-
Yay! That sounds fun, and proper writerly work, too. I would do that course in a heartbeat 🙂
-
That sounds fab, @raine! Wish I lived closer, but I’m sure it’ll be a great success. This could be a start of a new opportunity …
-
What fabulous news. The Den is brimming with it at the moment! You’ll be wonder ful!
