Goals for March

OK, so I didn't do much better in February than I did in January, but I'm hopeful for March!


These were my February goals:

- Get started on revisions - I finished the read-through of my NaNo novel, and I finished writing a revised outline for it. It's not what I had hoped to get done, but it's better than nothing.

- Read 6 books - Major fail on this one, I only read two books this month.

- Write more - Another failure - the only writing I did was for blog posts and the revised outline for my novel. 

I don't feel too bad about not achieving these goals, because I've been super tired this month from work. Now that I have my new hours I should be able to catch up on reading and writing. 



That said, here are my goals for March:

- Research for and schedule all of my posts for the A to Z challenge - in my opinion it's much easier to schedule posts for the challenge in advance rather than write them on the day. 

- Read 6 books - I'm determined to do it this month. With my new work hours I get more reading time, and I have plenty of books in my to-read pile to keep me going, so I should get it done. 

- Revise first three chapters of NaNo novel - I'll be spending most of the month working on my A to Z posts, so I don't want to set my sights too high. 

- Have a great birthday - it's my birthday on the 13th, and I've booked a week off work (my first break since September!) so I'm very excited. My boyfriend is taking me to York for two days, which should be fun.

    Enjoy the Birthday. . . . .

    I have written all the A to Z's, they all rhyme as planned and have drawn Zombies up to the letter F so I hope to have one for each letter of the alphabet on time. . . . . and have visited about 150 of the blogs . . . . I am as they say a goody two shoes . . . . (so far)

    Well, at least you are stating your goals. That is the first step. It's good you have a plan.

    Best of luck on reaching your goals!

WEP August - Change of Heart

Image
So I actually wrote this piece for April's WEP, but I was ill so didn't get to post it in the end. I'm quite glad, as it suits this month's theme so much more. Change of Heart ‘Are you ready for this?’ Paul asked. Brian nodded, trying to steady his shaking hands. ‘You’re the only one who can defeat him,’ Molly said. ‘We believe in you.’ She stepped back to join Paul. Brian balled his fists as he looked at the huge stone doors before him. He took a deep breath and pushed them open. Before the doors closed, Brian glimpsed Paul and Molly turn and begin to walk away. It took a moment for his eyes to adjust to the darkness inside. With a whispered word he created light in the palm of his hand, raising it so it would light up the room. It was empty apart from another doorway, much smaller than the first, hidden away in the corner. Brian marched through it and found himself in a large chamber, lit by many flickering candles mounted along the walls. Someone stoo

IWSG - July 2018

Image
The Insecure Writer's Support Group is a group of writer's who post once a month about their insecurities, and then visit each other to offer help and support. It's been a long time since I last posted, back in April. I really can't believe it's July already; this year so far seems like it's been both really short and really long. There are a few reasons why I've been absent for so long; I've had a few health issues, nothing serious but it's been one illness after another this year. Then I was in a car accident in May, thankfully Jamie and I came out unhurt, but the car spent a month getting repaired. We've also been house hunting this year, we found two houses we really wanted but unfortunately both fell through.  So, overall, it's been a bit of a rough year, and because of this I haven't got much writing done. However, I'm an optimistic person and I'm hopeful that the worst is over, so it's time to get back i

The Beginnings Blogfest!

Today's the day of the Beginning's Blogfest , L. G. Keltner 's first blogfest! I love the idea for this one, and knew what I was going to write about straight away. I want to write about the beginning of my writing journey. A year ago, I had no direction. I had no blog, I didn't write, all I did was work and play games. I had no motivation because I didn't know what I wanted to do. I had wanted to be a teacher, but after two failed PGCE interviews I was losing faith in the idea - maybe teaching wasn't what I was supposed to be doing. Then, last January, an idea struck me, seemingly out of nowhere. What if I tried to get into Journalism? I was good at writing, spelling, and editing, and I thought I would enjoy it. So I looked into it, and decided that it sounded like something I would want to do. I got some work experience at a volunteer magazine, writing articles for them, and most importantly, I started my blog. I thought it would be a good way to prac
