CoronaMo 5 years, 8 months agoYesterday I listened to the Dissecting Dragons podcast about writing for relaxation, enjoying the process of creating and not worrying so much about the outcome.
It reminded me of something shared once by Barry B. Longyear, a writer who skyrocketed to fame in the 80’s, and it almost killed him. Fortunately he survived to tell the tale. He wrote…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing that, Doug. It’s great. I’ll have tk send a copy to my co-dragon 😊

CoronaMo 5 years, 8 months ago@dougk sorry for being so useless at checking in here. Hi & well done on the short story acceptance. Is it available online?

How’s everyone else?

CoronaMo 5 years, 12 months agoWell, still trying to edit Tilda 3. Have made some major changes to plot to keep the reader guessing a bit longer, but seem incapable of getting it all to ‘flow’. Feels like I’m making it worse instead of better! But keeping on keeping on, regardless…

CoronaMo 6 years ago1900 words today despite my computer (actually) screaming at me when I first turned it on this morning! Seems to have exorcised whatever ghost that was – phew. But then realised today’s words were about a ghost of a recording of the Little Red Ridinghood story so am expecting the computer to turn on with a howl tomorrow!
