EDITING!
So, here’s the thing – I’ve just completed a mammoth task of writing 37,500 words in 23 days. Why? Good question. Great. I have no idea. My deadline is 1st February. I must be mad. The house wasn’t cleaned. The kids barely fed. Although a great deal of ‘research’ was done while watching those lovely…
Read MoreRWNZ conference Part Two
Having spent the previous weekend at Melbourne RWAus conference I was getting the hang of Bob Mayer’s Warrior Workshop – aka Write it Forward.

Read MoreRWNZ conference
So, there were just three crazy days of unpacking, washing, shopping and re-packing between RWAus conference and RWNZ!

Read MoreThe Plot Conundrum
Here’s the thing, I recently had a wonderful rejection (wonderful – go figure. And on my birthday too!) where an editor told me that my plot was too complex and contrived. So now I need to try to make it simpler but keep the conflict element high. What to do? How to make a simple…
Read MoreTime flies….
And so it is another month and more since my last blog…maybe I should just bite the bullet and just commit to writing it once a month! That way I’ll get over my guilt and maybe even get it done! And so – where were we??? Diet – still going strong. Lost 4kg so far.…
Read MoreMissing in Action
OMG And there I was feeling so completely proud of myself, when in reality I have failed. Failed big time. I haven’t touched my blog for over 2 months! The diet is going okay though. But, I have good reason for this tardy blog – and that is because I have been concentrating so hard…
Read MoreHappy New 2010
As one year melts (literally – it’s summer here and the temperature’s pushing the mercury) into another it’s time to take stock of 2009 and set goals for the year ahead. 2009: personally it’s been a good year. I’ve kicked back and relaxed, had good times with friends and seen good friends go through tough…
