I am currently in Les Sables D’Olonne, a town on the French Atlantic coast. I’m here on holiday with my grandma, staying in a peculiar but charming house that belongs to a cousin of my mother’s. I’ve been in France twice before, both times in Paris, and this place is quite different. Much smaller, of course, but I also find Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Greetings from Les Sables D’Olonne
No pictures of pretty churches this week, I’m afraid. I’ve had a bit of a slow week. I got stuck on one of the writing exercises I was supposed to finish, writing a prose poem, and it took me several days to get it done. I’ll tell you more about why when I post August’s exercises. I somehow managed to Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Poetic Prose is tricky
This weekend I went on a road trip. Or rather, I went to visit an uncle for a family thing, and most of Saturday was spent on a road trip exploring sights he’d picked out in his region. We visited a nature reserve, an old church and the ruin of an abbey, an arboretum and an extraordinary cheese store. It Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Regional Inspiration
This past week, I have: Written ~500 during my daily writing. Uploaded a couple of more haikus, but not all of the remaining ones. Done the first two exercises in this chapter of One Year To a Writing Life Edited one chapter of Going Home, namely chapter 4. I’ve also caught a danged cold! Quite the bummer, I have to say. It’s Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Once More, With Feeling
It’s funny, every time I think about goals I hear this voice in my head saying “but you’ve gotta have goals”. It’s a man’s voice and it sounds like he’s saying it at the end of some longer speech about life. However, neither my memory or my Google-fu has managed to reveal to me where, which movie or TV show, Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – You’ve Gotta Have Goals
I thought this was gonna be a real bummer of an update, but when I tallied up my daily writing for the past week I realized I haven’t been quite as lazy as I thought. I’ve been procrastinating my editing terribly, though. Bad Emma, no cookie! Okay, one cookie, but only one. Anyhowzers, this week I have: Almost started looking at Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Wattpad Up?
A few days ago, my one person household became a two person household when the man I’ve been in a LDR with for years moved in with me. So far, so good! It’s a bit of an adjustment, so I’m a little “off my game” at the moment, but one positive things I’ve noticed (aside from the cuddles) is that Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – There’s a boy in my apartment!
Hey guys! I’m actually posting on a Monday! Wooh! This past week I have, frankly, not been terribly productive, which is at least partially because it’s been really warm her this past week and my brain has been melting. However, in spite of that, I have: Gotten back into editing Going Home. So far this has mostly involved changing a few words, Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Getting my editing legs back
This past week I’ve: Written ~500 words during my daily writing, including two bad haikus and something which might become a post-apocalyptic short story about nail polish. Resumed editing Going Home. I tried reading the chapters out loud to myself as I worked and found it a lot more helpful than I expected. Signed up for the beta of MyWriteClub to see Continue reading Twice Fortnightly: Modest Progress
So, this past week I have: Maintained my inability to keep track of which day of the week it is and blog on the right one (which, by the way, has now been remedied by a recurring reminder in my to-do app) Obsessed endlessly about a nail polish swap I am currently participating in. Written roughly 7k words on my Continue reading Twice Fortlightly: Dropping a Ball
