“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] -

I saw youโd done it @raine but I canโt 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.

I 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! ๐

@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.

I am going to try @janette to combine the monthly comp and the decluttering exercise somehow. Maybe it will be a mistake!

Just 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? Iโm pretty busy but will try and fit it in.

Cyprus for holiday and inspiration did not happen and we stay relieved at home. Determined that Inhave enough inspiration to carry on regardless. Stay safe and writing everyone.

So 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. ๐
-
Yay! That sounds fun, and proper writerly work, too. I would do that course in a heartbeat ๐
-
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! Youโll be wonder ful!

Sounds fab, Raine. x
Am feeling overwhelmed today and looking for positive things, so this is great.

Hello โ Welcome to the virus-free shutdown survival space. I’m sure I’m not alone in struggling to do ANYTHING AT ALL what with the various worries, uncertainty and black hole of endless news โฆ so let’s make this somewhere we can retreat to away from homeschooling, home-partners, stress and loo roll panic. Prompts, writing news, other stuff, mor…[Read more]
