I've been helping my son with his new business over the last few weeks and the days have flown, but it's definitely time to start writing properly again! I've decided now that if I break the plot for the novel into smaller sections, rather than thinking I have to work on a complete chapter when I do start writing, it'll be easier to fit it into the rest of the day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16308322887557661274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144576325328779987.post-1443974952790612702013-07-20T21:12:09.108+00:002013-07-20T21:12:09.108+00:00Hi Wayne, good to hear from you, I'm pleased t...Hi Wayne, good to hear from you, I'm pleased to hear you had good feedback on your story, I hope I'll get to hear it read at one of our meetings. :-)Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05322234219197041788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144576325328779987.post-81034248385137990882013-07-20T21:08:39.836+00:002013-07-20T21:08:39.836+00:00Relaxation is good and VERY necessary... :-) I mig...Relaxation is good and VERY necessary... :-) I might join you and start a week earlier than I originally planned.

The first of these things will be the short story I am currently working on. Had great feedback from the writing group today, it's outlined, and I want to reach the end of the first draft before next weekend.

I have taken the interruption as a message to relax and take a writing break.<br /><br />Monday 22nd is my kickstart date. First order of the week is a trip to the library for some newly required research. That should ease me in nicely!<br />E S Moxonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00910986089563223935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144576325328779987.post-47612024829549678162013-07-20T08:50:50.412+00:002013-07-20T08:50:50.412+00:00I've recently resurrected a project after a go...I've recently resurrected a project after a good few months break and it's going much better now.

Which is why I've been taking it easy the last few months. I said I wouldn't write at all, but actually I have been doing some flash fiction, and blogging, but not on the scale of previous months.<br /><br />I do hope you can get going again.
