Pic of the week #5
Snapped on Tuesday. I was in the car park near work and it was all grey grey grey with just one golden gleam of light.... Summer in Melbourne at its finest : ) In other news, writerpalooza continues. I'm getting close now and finally, FINALLY starting to get that...
Pic of the week, #4
I promised it wouldn't be all pics of cats but tomorrow, according to the RSPCAs best guess at least, is the wee mad torti's second birthday. So I took some "Last day of being 1 pics" of her. Here's my fave. Shows off her lovely ink splatter nose and her pretty eyes...
Writerpalooza, Day 4 (belated)
Sorry, last night I got distracted by yarny things and Downton Abbey (a rewatch of S1). Anyway yesterday was very hot and I was sleepy due to a hot night. I finished the other new scene and then had to pause to contemplate what comes next. Still not entirely sure but...
Writerpalooza, Day 3
One of those days that was productive but there wasn't much forward motion to show for it. I revised a chapter and a half, including writing a one new scene I hadn't expected (I'm taking this as a good sign that the girls in the basement are re-engaged and starting...
Writerpalooza, Day 2
Good day. Scrivener informs me I added 3216 words for the day, I finished the chapter I needed to backtrack to, which accounted for most of those, plus I revised another chapter and a half. Which leaves me with about 35 pages of stuff I've already written, some of...
Writerpalooza, Day 1
Right, final tally for today is one whole chapter revised and half of two others (to finish this book I need to revise about four chapters worth of stuff and write maybe eighty pages). Probably around 40 pages in all. Not bad given I was out for about 5 hours in the...
A plan, egad.
Thanks to the wonders of public holidays and a little judicious shuffling of my day job days, I have the next five days off. Therefore, the plan (outside of the two or three things that involve leaving the house that I am committed to) it to make like a fire up the...
Two birds with one stone
aka some further sourdough adventures and a pic of the week! So Thursday morning, my starter (Seymour) was tasting distinctly sour, so into the fridge he went (refrigeration keeps the development of the starter sort of on hold). The question then became, what was I...
Nominated!
Also, I'm very thrilled to be able to say that Shadow Kin has been nominated for a 2011 Australian Romance Readers Association Award in the Sci Fi, Fantasy and Futuristic category. Woot! Huge thanks to everyone who nominated me! The list of finalists (Nalini Singh,...
Gotta be starting something
For a while now I've wanted to try making sourdough bread. As I've said before, I love to bake and I do make bread from time to time but given my lack of time it's usually fairly quick yeast based stuff. Which is perfectly yummy, don't get me wrong, but for the...
