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

Inspired by the lovely Zee Southcombe and her “Week the Was” posts I’ve decided to do a weekly update every Monday, detailing what I’ve been up to (in terms of writing) during the past week. I used to do a weekly post on my old, non-writing blog and I quite enjoyed that, so I think I will enjoy this too. I find Continue reading Twice Fortnightly: What I’ve been up to this past week.
A few days ago I started the last big round of edits of Going Home. I’m only a few chapters in, and I’m really enjoying it. It’s funny, it wasn’t until I got to the point where I was actually able to finish an entire draft that I started enjoying editing. It’s a very different experience to edit and improve an entire Continue reading Back in the sadle!
When you start a new WordPress blog, a placeholder post is created with the title “Hello World”. Well, that seems to sum up what I want to say right now quite well. Hello, World. This is my blog. Welcome. My name is Emma. I’m a writer. I’m other things too, and if you want to know more about me, you Continue reading Hello, World! It’s Emma calling.
