Writing Quotes

I learned that you should feel when writing, not like Lord Byron on a mountain top, but like a child stringing beads in kindergarten - happy, absorbed and quietly putting one bead on after another. Brenda Ueland

Queensland Writers Week - Update Day 6

Hullo Readers - I haven't written today, but did research for my novel instead. I am ever so pleased, I found information on my maternal great grandfather that I'll be able to use in my book.

More writing tomorrow!

Queensland Writers Week - Update Day 4



It seems I've only managed around 400 words per day so far. Today was 388. If I could write 500 words per day everyday for a year I'd have a first draft. Life gets in the way though doesn't it? Regardless of interruptions, I'm gonna keep plodding on!

Queensland Writers Week - Update Day 1

Hi! there - I'm so pleased to be taking part in QWW and hope I can get lots of writing done. It's been extremely hot in Brisbane today and I sat in the air-conditioning all afternoon. It's hard to believe it's spring and we're having a heat wave.

Now to my writing. I didn't write as much as anticipated. Only 428 words. Still, 428 words less to do tomorrow. In addition, I did do some editing and a tiny bit of research for my novel so I'm happy...Carol aka Goldie Elston
