CoronaMo 6 years, 3 months 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! 😀

Oh WOW @elle! That is such a brilliant ride – 3 agents offering rep, including your dream agent! That is truly the dream 🙂 And yes, it must be a ripper of a book. Having seen some of your writing, I’m not in the least surprised. CONGRATULATIONS!! Enjoy the giddiness 🙂

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, 3 months 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, 3 months 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, 3 months 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!

@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.
