I completed my first draft of my memoir
I completed the first draft of my memoir last night. This morning I started my first revisions and additions. I had planned on taking a week off and to start another project. However, when I woke this morning, I sat down in front of my laptop and began the revision. I guess will continue onward. … Continue reading I completed my first draft of my memoir
Coming to an end, but…
Six more chapters to go to complete the first draft of my memoir. And here I am, I am writing two chapters out of sequence: the second last and one of the other six chapters. Crazy.

Working those chapters
I wrote two chapters so far today. I hope to complete another chapter before the end of the day. I didn't do much writing over the weekend. I didn't like what I had written when I last left the memoir and I wanted to let things brew before I attempted the chapter again. It worked. … Continue reading Working those chapters

However, instead of rebuilding the second lost chapter this morning which would be the most logical thing to do, I find … Continue reading Is it just me?

Night breakthroughs
I spent last night writing a chapter for one of the novels I am working on (I took the advice to just write anything down on paper). It was rubbish. This morning I had a breakthrough for the opening of said chapter. More often than not, if I sleep on it, a solution presents itself. … Continue reading Night breakthroughs
