UNTITLED (388 words)
You weren’t coming back. I see that now. But had it really taken a pre-dawn walk on Christmas morning to untangle my thoughts and clear my clouded vision?
Yes, should the truth be told. It had.
I had lain awake for hours – body tired, mind agitated, and senses heightened in the dark. Aware of the warmth of my breath in t…[Read more] -

Is it a browser thing? I see the ‘show all comments’ thing.

Managed 500 words this morning on something completed unrelated to anything. *Sigh.

Congratulations, Raine! Well-deserved 🙂
And thank you, Jonathan, for dragging me out of my writerly walled garden and dropping me who-knows-where. -

I have an editorial read-through booked for the end of January so my Slo-Mo aim is to rewrite a couple of chapters to increase the stakes and generally tighten up.

Ooh, look at this! The chair by the window has my name on it.

I don’t know where I am.
No, really, I don’t.
You’ll think I’m kidding when I tell you about this later and we’ll probably have a good laugh about it, but don’t be surprised if it takes more than one bottle of wine for me to get over today’s little episode. This whole thing at Moira’s Mystical Meditation is freaking me out…[Read more] -

Up to my neck in astrolabe pictures and nary an idea as yet. Still, there’s a week left. Plenty of time!

Seagreen started the topic Golden Egg Academy (North) in the forum The Writers' Lifeboat 7 years, 6 months ago
Don’t know if any of the YA/Children’s writers would be interested in this, but GEA North have extended their submission deadline until November 19th. For those who haven’t heard of it, the short blurb reads:
GEA North works with new writers, professional writers, published authors and MA postgrads – as well as writers who simply feel ‘stuck’…[Read more]

Very impressive, Daeds 🙂

Don’t change anything! Mr Sea is in Doha this weekend with instructions to visit the Museum of Islamic Art to take photos of their amazing collection of astrolabes. I don’t have any ideas yet, but I know an astrolabe will be involved.

Seagreen replied to the topic What shape are your ideas? in the forum Blogs 7 years, 6 months ago
The project I want to do next came as a result of one of the monthly comps – the one Daeds set about doorways. I wrote about twelve pages of notes at the time and added to it at odd moments when things occurred to me – obstacles, dialogue, conflict.
One thing I have learned over the past year, is the part backstory can play in giving my…[Read more] -

I’m not sure what fascinates me more – the list of items you came up with or the fact you came up with them when you were caught by surprise…🤔

Seagreen replied to the topic Monthly comp – October 2018 in the forum Monthly Competition 7 years, 6 months ago
Thank you all for taking the time to post an entry, especially Sandra, who kicked things off (phew!), but later withdrew by reason of unavailability to set the next comp should she win.
Anyway, as most of you know, I’m rubbish at any kind of feedback so I’ll keep this short.
Sandra – strong voice. And some perfect turns of phrase – ‘Like a…[Read more]

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.
