Kinda wish I’d packed my laptop so I could stay here a while longer and get some writing done… not ready to head back to reality just yet 🌞 A few days off writing to enjoy some seaside family time with the world’s best family-in-law ☺️💜 Part two of some words I wrote about toddlers and trauma and sleep 😴 I’ve always been a massive word nerd, but I’ve found a recent love for books on the craft of writing. It’s not enough for me to read and enjoy books; I want to know how they were written. I want to know the psychology and thought processes that go into creating a story that will last a lifetime ✨ Some words I wrote this morning, featuring a cookie crumb in my keyboard 🍪 SAVE THE CAT! WRITES A NOVEL - @jessicabrody 📚 Managed to squeeze a bit of time and 1900 words in today, which brings my draft up to 61,500 words! At the start of the year, I had set myself a goal of finishing the first draft by the end of the year, and I’m finally believing I may make my deadline 😅 did anyone else set themselves writing goals this year? Our camellia trees are in full bloom, and this little love bug insisted on picking some for me last week. And some more for his daycare educators. And one more for daddy. Asked me today if I still liked the flowers he picked me, then farted on me, laughed at me, hugged me and went on his way. Shout out to @melbwritersfest for putting on one hell of a weekend! Was a little sad I wasn’t able to attend events on all 3 days, but grateful for the sessions I did get to. The ARE WE ALL OK? session was a highlight for me - @cammi_khyelahi @squigglyrick @antoinette_lattouf @sarahkwrites all spoke so genuinely. And as an added bonus, I got to meet an online writing friend @cestelaine in real life 😊 is it too early to look forward to next year’s festival?!
