Swimming in Words: Writing: Hitting "the wall"
http://patriciamarqueswriting.blogspot.com/2011/12/writing-hitting-wall.html
Writing: Hitting "the wall". NanoWrimo is finished, congratulations to everyone who emerged a winner from the challenge! I have to say unfortunately for me, it didn't turn out quite the way I wanted it to, but then with writing it's tough for it to just do what you want. I did manage my word count, I hit the 50k. What I didn't get was a finished first draft of a novel and that has me feeling very frustrated. It also doesn't help that I've reached that stage of:. Why am I writing? I think we can get there.

And this month have a few more lineups, and this is one on my defintie TBR list! Have been waiting for it ever since finishing Gates of Thread and Stone. Expect to see a review of it soon :D.

Lunar Eclipse: Blink, and It’s Over. | Café Lopez
https://cafelopez.wordpress.com/2010/12/22/lunar-eclipse-blink-and-its-over
Laquo; Triple Chocolate…fiction? Lunar Eclipse: Blink, and It’s Over. December 22, 2010 by Mark Lopez. Last night the winter solstice coincided with a lunar eclipse. The first response to come out of my mouth when asked if I would stay up to see it was, why bother? In the same time that it takes me to write this blog, I will cease to exist. Don’t believe me? Us, those who loved us, the very memory of us, gone. It’s already a memory. Posted in On Inspiration. On January 6, 2011 at 7:18 pm. You are comment...

Mother of (re)Invention: Phew!
http://motherreinvention.blogspot.com/2010/06/phew.html
Goodbye, office. Hello, baby. Hello, self-employment. Monday, 21 June 2010. The vast majority of things I (we? Worry about do not come to pass. Never once have I discovered, on checking for the twenty-seventh time, that it turns out I did. Leave the gas on, the back door unlocked, the iron plugged in. And, of course, the SfEP. Here's hoping that the current over-riding fear in my life baby G's first sessions at Montessori nursery aren't as awful as I'm anticipating they'll be. View my complete profile.

Mother of (re)Invention: A moment (or several hours) of doubt...
http://motherreinvention.blogspot.com/2010/06/moment-or-several-hours-of-doubt.html
Goodbye, office. Hello, baby. Hello, self-employment. Monday, 14 June 2010. A moment (or several hours) of doubt. I remember, with absolute clarity, the precise moment I knew I would not be going back to my previous job. It was a February morning, I was in the shower and - as clearly as a bell ringing - I heard my own voice in my head: 'I'm not going back'. And I knew immediately that I had made the right decision. I'll never make this work because I've never made anything work.'. But more than that, I'm...

Mother of (re)Invention: Connected
http://motherreinvention.blogspot.com/2010/09/connected.html
Goodbye, office. Hello, baby. Hello, self-employment. Tuesday, 21 September 2010. I tend to be somewhat solitary by nature, and being a WAHM limits my social interaction even more. But this week I've reminded myself how nice it is to connect with the wider world. . I've joined British Mummy Bloggers. And I'm like a kid in a sweet shop (or a swot in a library, to be more accurate). So much to read, so many groups to join. This is going to cut into my working time in a big way, I can tell. The Electric Ed...

Mother of (re)Invention: Drum roll pleeeeease........
http://motherreinvention.blogspot.com/2010/07/drum-roll-pleeeeease.html
Goodbye, office. Hello, baby. Hello, self-employment. Monday, 12 July 2010. I've just completed my first freelance job! Yes, it was a complete surprise to me too. On something of a ‘nothing ventured, nothing gained’ whim I responded to a SfEPLine message regarding someone who was looking for help with a dissertation. Not proofreading per se, but general improvement of writing style, academic presentation, and so forth. But I got the job! Maybe I was the only one to pitch for it…). My first paid job.

Mother of (re)Invention: October 2010
http://motherreinvention.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Goodbye, office. Hello, baby. Hello, self-employment. Saturday, 2 October 2010. And don't stop till it's done. The above is my new mantra (until I forget, natch). . I'm getting absolutely naff all done at the minute, because I'm trying to do too much at once. We're all familiar with the cliche that women are great at multi-tasking, but I am normal two-armed woman and not an eight-armed goddess. . One thing. Start it, finish it. Move on to the next thing. This will never work.) . Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Mother of (re)Invention: Change of tack?
http://motherreinvention.blogspot.com/2010/11/change-of-tack.html
Goodbye, office. Hello, baby. Hello, self-employment. Tuesday, 23 November 2010. I think I under-estimated just how time consuming toddlers can be, hence the shameless blog-neglect. And I also wasn't sure that I had a focus for this blog. Was it going to be about freelancing? About everything in my life in general? I wasn't really sure. I think, from now on, it's going to be about preparing for baby number two whilst trying to fit freelancing around baby number one. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
