Writer's Block: All by myself

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Write.

In fact, I'm going to do that just as soon as I get back to our rental place. One of my main characters is showing something of theirs to a priest.


Get your mind out of the gutter. :P

Random update...

Welcome new friends [livejournal.com profile] cifan70 & [livejournal.com profile] jediknightmuse!

This 'ere post is brought you (my flisters) by the LETTER A and the NUMBER 11...

I have no idea how I missed this... )

And now, a little list of things I will do & want to do in 2011.

They're not resolutions, they're goals )

Since I'm one of the first of my flisters (actually, I think I am the first) to see in the New Year... What are your goals for 2011?

Writing-related Community pimps...

Just joined these two comms: [livejournal.com profile] jossverse_las & [livejournal.com profile] spn_las

LAS = Last Author Standing

So, like LIMS, but for writers.

Not sure if I'll sign up just yet (I have till August 9 to decide).

It looks like a good way to brush up on my fic-writing, and when people vote I'll see just how good or bad my fic is by how long I last. :D At the moment, none of my land comms offer me the opportunity to see how well my writing has done - in the eyes of its readers. Statistical feedback helps too, y'know. ;)

Dum-di-dum...

I got caught writing at work today... Good sign? :D

It was just scene-plans for the next two chapters of my trilogy, but... it made me excited that there might be hope after all. :)

And then my supervisor tapped my shoulder, said something about "work", & the happiness left me. For a second. ;)

10 Words People Need To Stop Misspelling...

I just saw this on Twitter and had to share the awesome.

The Oatmeal tweeted this & now it's high up in the Trending Topics. It's so good to see positivity on Twitter. ;)

My favourite is definitely Definitely. :D

Writing... Yay me!

In some odd way, I think Twitter has helped. :D The #writechat chats on Sundays (early Monday mornings for me), and the #writegoal "room" have been very encouraging. It's cool getting in touch with so many writers, and yet at the same time... It's freakin' scary! :o ;)



Btw, Why Writers Should Be Using Twitter. ;)

Writer's Block: You're a Winner!

[Error: unknown template qotd]
I'm yet to come first in anything. Only been a runner-up so far...

1. Entered my dog in a "Dumbest Dogs" competition run by a dog magazine. Prize was a 1kg bag of high-class dog food, a dog-training book, and a terracotta water bowl with "One of Australia's Dumbest Dogs" painted on it. That was approx 12 years ago. We still have the bowl. ;)

2. Entered a competition to be in the studio audience and meet Andrew Denton backstage at the final of his Enough Rope program one year. Was one of 10 runners-up, winning DVDs of the show. I've watched half of one.



On that note of Writer's Block, I found this very good comic:

Seriously, dudes...

I just took part in my first ever #writechat at Twitter.... It started at 5am (for me). It'll go on for another 90mins.

But, now that the sun's up, I should be getting to bed. ;)

Today's topic was "Editing". I tweeted 17 times during the chat. Some people responded to me. Five people started following me! All fellow writers! Haha!

[livejournal.com profile] saiariddle (& other Twittery writers), you should join in if you can in future. It starts at 12pm PST on Sundays. :)


*yawns*

Hello pillow, meet head.
