I am writing my novel again, the poems have shifted over and made space.

Poems have been banished for now. I opened the file for my (most current) novel last night and read it. Ignoring it for two months worked wonders, I felt excited by it. The story grabbed me and sucked me in and I wrote for two hours. I wanted to write more but it was 2am and I knew I had 4hrs before the boy got into our bed and asked for breakfast.

It was book group tonight so I couldn't write but the characters were there in my mind clamouring for attention. Tomorrow, I will get on with it, inbetween reading for uni, housework, cooking, playing and educating small children and many other tasks!


As usual, trees form the landscape of my story.

  1. It's good to have a change with your writing isn't it? I have been writing a non-fiction book and now feel refreshed to get back to my novel. Hope it goes well for you.
    Best wishes

  2. Thanks Di!
    How far into your novel are you? Do you work on it everyday? I find it hard to find the time at the moment.
