    Week 5 – late update

    Last week was not as productive as I would have liked. I didn’t get a lot of words down on paper because my energy levels were super low.

  • Week One  – The wins and losses

    This week I tried a new approach to writing a novel. Instead of trying to plot out the whole thing in advance and write chapter by chapter, I decided to aim for writing one scene at a time. I spent some time writing out on little cue cards the scenes I wanted to write this…
