Wow, guys, what a week it’s been! On Thursday, 11/12-2014, I published Going Home, my debut novella, on Amazon Kindle. I had planned to publish it on Saturday the 13th, but since I’d heard it could take a while for books to come up on the web I thought I’d upload it early. Color me surprised when it went live Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – I’m Published!
Yesterday’s ThinkKit prompt got overshadowed by me freaking out over how quickly Going Home was published on Amazon. Today the prompt is to wite about something from the last year that you wish you could do over (hence the rather lame title). I knew before I’d even finished reading the prompt what I’d write about. In October, I turned in Continue reading Mulligan – ThinkKit Prompt #12
You know how they say that good things come to those who wait? Well, sometimes good thing jump on those who wait two days earlier than what they’d expected! Sometimes the good things are like “see you in a bit! Wait, just kidding, I’m coming now!” and they barge in through your door and there you are, without any tea Continue reading Going Home is now for sale on Amazon Kindle!
Today’s ThinkKit prompt, which I nearly forgot to do, is to write about something weird that happened to you in the last year. An odd coincidence perhaps, or an inexpiable series of events. The reason I almost forgot about the prompt was that I’m currently working on getting Going Home ready for publishing, and familiarizing myself with all the aspects of Scrivener’s Continue reading Weird. Wild. Wacky. – ThinkKit Prompt #10
As you may have noticed, I ended up skipping my ThinkKit prompt yesterday. It was about rants and raves, encouraging bloggers to get up on the soapbox about some issue and I skipped it because: a) when I try to soapbox in writing it tends to become long and incoherent and I upset myself in the process of writing it Continue reading Just Can’t Wait – ThinkKit Prompt #9
This week’s Twice Fortnightly has been cancelled in favor of, drum-roll please, the cover reveal of Going Home! About time, too, with only a few days to go! As you may recall from my post last week I decided, quite at the last minute, to hire someone to do my cover instead of doing it myself. Since my budget is um… let’s call it strained, I Continue reading Going Home – Cover Reveal
Today’s ThinkKit prompt is about your “third home”, that place besides your home and your work where you spent lots of time this year. And honestly, I can’t think of one. I mean, I spend a fair bit of time at my folks’ place, at my best friend’s flat, at cafés and on the bus but… none of these stick Continue reading Third Place – ThinkKit Prompt #6
Today’s ThinkKit prompt is called “Flip the Script” and encourages bloggers to talk about how they’ve change their mind, in some major or minor way, during the last year. Well, as it happens, I have recently flipped the script in quite a significant way regarding the cover of my upcoming novella Going Home. When I first started thinking about actually Continue reading Flip the Script – ThinkKit Prompt #2
So, this weekend I made this biiig decision regarding Going Home and got sucked into editing the book so I actually almost forgot it was still NaNoWriMo. Luckily I pulled my head out of editing long enough to finish NaNo. It’s weird, I’m super happy to be done with it and excited about the story I wrote but at the same Continue reading Twice Forthnightly – Going Home has a blurb! Oh and I won Nano
Hey, guess what? I’m 27! And I’ve got some scotch, new running gear and a copy of the awesome board game Dixit to prove it (among other things). This has contributed to the past week being a pretty good week, and my productivity level has made it an even better one. I have: Written ~1k per day for NaNo, making Continue reading Twice Forthnightly – One year older, one year wiser?
