One of my aims for 2013 was to join in with ROW 80. I have been a bit slow at this, they are already in the middle of their second round, but better late than never, eh? I’m going to keep my aims for this round very simple. In the past I have given myself […]
I know it’s been a while since I last posted, but I’ve been extremely lucky in the last month and have been skiing twice (once was officially working, but still fun). There has been a lot of this: And this: Unfortunately both trips to the Alps resulted in a nasty cold, one of which haunted […]
I know, I know, I haven’t done very well at ROW80 check-ins this round. I haven’t been doing very well at the research for my NaNoWriMo novel either, life got in the way (aka I have no self-discipline). However it’s time to let all that go because tomorrow is the FIRST DAY OF NANOWRIMO! This […]
First things first and I need your help! I need a name for the main character of my newest book. The book is set in the 16th century and she is the eldest daughter of a country knight, so her name can’t be completely out of place. However she’s brave and headstrong so I want […]
Here we are again, Sunday. It’s been a weird roller-coaster of a week. A roller-coaster of a month really. In fact, skip the roller-coaster and go straight to the weird circus tents in the back. That’s where I’ve been hanging out. To avoid things getting a little too strange, I’ll keep this check-in brief: 1) […]
Last time I checked in I was moaning about my work space. I have now cleared it and managed to do myself a mischief carrying home some book shelves for it. The result: I’m going to take the cork board outside and spray the edges another colour at some point, but other than that I’m […]
It’s Wednesday Check-In time! I know these check-ins can get a little boring for those of you not participating in ROW 80 so I thought I’d add a little something to keep things spicy (please note this is from a shop window, I have not taken up taxidermy.. not yet anyway): Right, ROW 80-ers, here’s […]
Despite having not done terribly well at the Round 1 of Row 80, I am back to give it another go. Hey, that’s what ROW 80 is all about, right?* ROW 80 Round Two Goals: 1) Do some drawing every sunday afternoon, even if it is a basic sketch. 2) Do at least one photography […]
It’s a Wednesday and for the first time I’m doing a ROW 80 Wednesday Check In. Because I’m just not any good at doing them on Sundays. Thanks to those who have sent me messages while I’ve been ill, I’m really touched. I managed to get better on the weekend – on Saturday I even […]
ROW 80 is going really well now I’ve reassessed my priorities. I’ve done a test mile almost every day (and some days more), plus I’ve been researching and working on my plot. Yey! My plot is now in a much healthier place but I remain unsatisfied. I’m still working out how to show the things […]
