Writing Chapter Six

Out in the garden, writing Chapter Six.

Story-boarding Chapter Six

Thankfully, my writer's block cleared last night. I am not too sure if the plot details of Chapter Six came during a dream or whether I worked it out in that strange hinterland of thought that can occur when awakening from one dream and slipping back into another. Anyway, the plot outline for Chapter Six is sorted and I just now need to write it. In the meantime, here is my #IWishICouldDraw storyboard for the chapter:

No writing today. Just going to enjoy the sunshine :)

Writer's Block

Nearly 13k words into my new novel and I am stuck :o/

Gardening Can Be Magickal

Gardening can be just as creative an activity as novel-writing. Magickal worlds can be shaped in flowers and stones as well as ink and paper.

My New Writing Desk :)

I have always wanted one of these, ever since I was little - an Edwardian writing bureau. And now I finally possess one. And here it is, in situ, in the writing shed I have been working on creating in my garden since last Summer:

I found the writing bureau on ebay last night and put in an offer, which the seller was more than happy to accept. Luckily, the desk was located just down the road from me and I picked it up this morning. I am feeling very happy this morning with my new purchase and am more enthusiastic about continuing the conversion of my old shed now. I can hardly wait to settle myself at the desk, pen in hand and write as the rain hits the windows and the tin roof. It should be very atmospheric...

P.S. I will do a brief audio recording in the shed the next time it rains heavily to try and share the ambience of the place a little :)

Berserk! Chapter Five

The group are starting to get freaked out in the isolated woodland. No human has walked this land for a thousand years and the dark gods and spirits continue to linger here...

Writing with the Pixies

The sun is shining again, so it's time for me to head out into the garden and try and progress Chapter Four a little. I want this chapter put to bed by the weekend...
