A dream.
I like dreaming my writing. It’s somehow really connected and visual like watching the film, or being in the story. (more…)

The working title for this years NaNo was “More than Monkey, Less than Dolphin” and until almost the end I was happy with that but then I finished the story and it no longer works.
So, I need a new title please. Any suggestions?

Only four days left to go until the madness that is NaNoWriMo kicks off for another year. I’ve worked through the “I can’t do it” and the “What if I fail” wobbles and I’m starting to develop the embryonic beginnings of a story and I even have a couple of characters with more lurking in a shadowy fashion in the background. I can almost see them out of the corner of my eye when they think I’m not looking. But I know they’re there, just waiting for the story to be told. (more…)

Until November 1st and NaNoWriMo starts again.
This year I’ve set myself an extra challenge, I’m going to share as I write. You are welcome to read along, comment and offer suggestions and feedback – but I do reserve the right to use or not use any comments as I see fit. (more…)

I need inspiration, I need characters, I need plot…. And if I’m going to blog this mad Nano thing then I need to decide whether to do it on this blog or set up a completely separate blog?
What do you think? Would a blogged novel in its own category work on this blog or does it need a whole blog of its very own?

**Sob** No-one reads in here….
OK, I know you’re out there reading, I know you’re laughing at me now, but would you read every day?

Eleven weeks actually, but that’s ages isn’t it?
Every year I say Never again, not doing NaNo again and I keep on saying that from January right through to about now.

I’ve been away for Christmas, hence the lack of posting – hope everyone had a good one!
While away I kick started the third Portal book (although Nano 2008 is still there in my head and I’ll get back to that soon too.) But it’s been easier than I thought to get back into the mind set of the Portal world. I’ll be working on that during 2009 but don’t hold your breath, it’s not going to be ready for Christmas 2009, it won;t even be finished.
Now, I need a favour from someone – I’ve been getting some nasty spam in the comments here and it’s a pain to moderate so I’ve installed a spam trap, which seems to be working. Can someone please try to leave a comment and let me know what happens?
Thanks!
Sarah

Completed Nano again, for the fourth year running and I love what I’ve produced. It really took on a life of its own and it’s at a point where it could be left as the short first book in a series – which would work well seeing as I had a younger audience than the Portal series in mind for this one.

I seem to have found a Shepherd looking after some stray sheep that aren’t pure bred and were to be culled….
