Extending my impromptu trip to North Wales for the New Year came with consequences for a timely instalment. Still, it reaffirmed the 3-day window required to make this work. I returned from my visit perfectly relaxed and ready to face this year’s challenges, only to be stressed about my lack of productivity! 2019 is going […]
Christmas down, New Year to go. Decisions have been made and soon it will be time to knuckle down. I’ve carefully decided which copywriting course I want to take and once the festivities are behind me I will begin. Again it has been suggested that I need to come up with a firmer schedule to […]
I pushed through the research barrier and narrowed down the list of copywriting courses to three. I’m all about due diligence here because I need to pick the course that is most in tune with my learning style. There is no pressure with any of the courses to get them done quickly. I can take […]
Good news. I have a brand new follower, it’s exciting and I couldn’t be happier. As soon as I can work out how to reciprocate and come up with a Gravatar (an online identifier, I think) things will be even better! I’ll add that to the never-ending list of things to do. Seven months into […]
Memories of Morocco are gently fading into the distance, only to be relived in snippets of conversation and the photographs which I promise to do something meaningful with this time. The writing process is enjoying various peaks and troughs – some days are extremely productive on other days creeping doubt comes for a visit distracting […]
Coming off the back of a lovely weekend visiting dear friends, family and formidable godmothers; I had an uphill climb to produce enough material for two weeks and prepare for a well-earned break, to celebrate a significant milestone. Initially, I was taking it all in my stride; knew what I had to do and how […]
Scriptwriting is more involved and is, therefore, more difficult to construct. I rediscovered this when a faithful friend pointed out that some feedback on the last instalment might be in order. She was bang on the money, of course; whilst the content and subject for last week’s instalment were sound, some key elements of the […]
Everything is finally back in its place and again I have successfully managed to weave writing around various comings and goings to still get a result. The enjoyable talkative weekend with friends has seen me return to scriptwriting form with a short sketch. At the beginning of the week I had nothing, but slowly it gets […]
Whilst still adjusting to the new space where work used to be, my meticulous planning skills have deserted me of late. There’s more to do; more friends, more places to visit, more often and let’s not forget the persistent navel-gazing that always takes more time than it needs. New habits to be formed and old ones to […]
With less than a week to go before the deadline I finally read aloud, the 3 quarters finished story for publication and I can hear everything that’s wrong with it and nothing that is right about it; at least not right for the brief. There are too many characters for a short story, the paranormal […]
