I think this may be the shortest short story I’ve ever written… My Week Four tale is in draft form (which, BTW, earns a massive WOO HOO!) and it is currently a tidy 1,081 words. Tweakage will occur over the weekend (let’s be honest. It’ll happen on Sunday night, most likely as the clock strikes twelve)…… Continue reading Draft!

My excitement over the rain has proven to be entirely unfounded. Sure, it’s raining. But it’s just made things worse up here in the sauna known as Brisneyland. It’s stinking hot. Humid. I have an extra layer of skin that is entirely made out of sweat. My hair is perpetually wet (and not because I’m…… Continue reading Untitled

It’s raining!! Halleluiah! 🙂

My Week 4 story is now my Week 5 story. Now there’s a *new* Week 4 story that has bumped the previous (brain-breaking, undercooked, needs more consideration) story back a week in the rankings. The *new* story is shiny and, well, new. And a hell of a lot more exciting to write than the undercooked…… Continue reading Hooray for writing the *right* story

Week Four story is at about 950 words. After much hmm-ing and haaa-ing about this story (is it too slow? Is it too long? Should it be longer? Maybe it’s just right? Maybe it’s boring?

(She rocks, I might add, as does…… Continue reading The 18 hour teeter-totter

After a thoroughly enjoyable weekend (went to see ‘Tales of Desperaux’ with Angela & her sis & nephew–they are just lovely, and the movie was very sweet; had another Dr Who marathon on Saturday–we now have David Tennant action, but I still have a soft spot for Christopher Eccleston (aka the REAL Doctor); and gobbled up…… Continue reading The Blahs

4,338 words. That’s about 3,000 words since yesterday. The story is drafted. It’s  viewable. It may even be decent. But I’ll judge that when I’m feeling more lucid. Plus, I’d like to tweak it a bit before Monday, so it might not be that decent after all. Nevertheless, you may not realise it, but you have…… Continue reading Drafted!
