I missed my entry last week but who cares, right? I bet no one even noticed. Well, it matters not. I’m used to it. Anyway, last week I was working on “Almendra: A Fairy-Tale” and came to the conclusion that I’ll have to put aside my current Regency WIP in order to focus my full attention on [...]

It was my Regency week. Consequently, not much writing was done. But I can assure you that it was not for the lack of trying on my part! I did try to move on with the story but just like my main hero I seem to have hit a complete standstill. So, in order to do [...]

This week was all about doing things and going places, which meant that I had very little time for writing. In the end, I wrote about half a page only, because when I finally had time to write, I thought it would be a much better idea to catch up on watching films and TV shows, [...]

I’m quite happy with my progress this week (even though it’s very slow) and with the turn my fairy-tale took. One of the best things about writing is finding out what happens next, because even as the author of the piece you can’t know everything. It’s my fantasy novel this week but I’m happy to say [...]

Finally, this week I had all the time that I needed to write as much as I wished to or, in fact, could, because I find that writing, while emotionally uplifting, physically is quite exhausting. I finished Chapter Five of my Almendra-based fantasy novel and found a new concept for “Almendra: A Fairy-Tale” that I hope [...]

I had another busy but not in a writing way week, facing my writing dilemma from last week (see “my writing journal, entry 13″). In the end, I decided to divide the week so that I could accommodate all three projects at once. In this way, I revised my regency at the start of the week [...]

I had a fairly prolific week, considering that I had very little time for actual writing, but I was struck with indecision and doubt. I shall skip the part where I worry over the fact that I’m the only person around who reads and likes my books and go to the writing part of the thing [...]

This week was a particularly long one, divided in half by my pre-check-up fears and my post-check-up joy. I think (if I remember correctly) that at the start of the week I finally re-typed what I had written about two weeks before (my current WIP threatened into action by a short story idea that was [...]

Sorry for the lack of updates! It wasn’t a very successful writing week, considering that I was working on my fantasy novel and the result is barely above one page. Of course, I knew that this flow couldn’t run unchecked forever and that sooner or later I’d have to struggle through it-doesn’t-feel-like-writing feeling. There is, [...]

“Margaret’s Rematch” has gone through a bit of editing (took me about a year that bit!) and acquired a new cover! I always loved the old cover but I adore the new one. Tell me what you think! Isn’t it lovely?

Another week, another beginning… of my novel. It’s the third week into NaNoWriMo and I’m barely writing these days, mainly because the story I started writing is not the same story I’ve got at the moment and while I had spent years thinking about the former story I know precious little about the latter one. [...]

Well, my second week wasn’t as successful as my first. Not that I expected anything else. I’m exhausted both physically and mentally and I feel that I need some time off writing. It didn’t help matters that half-way through the second week I found myself on the edge of a massive gaping hole in the [...]

I didn’t plan on doing NaNo this year (I tried only once before and only ever wrote about 5000 words, though whether it was due to laziness or lack of time I don’t remember), but on the 1st of November something took hold of me and told me that it would be a great opportunity [...]

Due to the fact that I decided (quite suddenly) to take part in NaNoWriMo this year in order to write my fantasy novel, loosely based on “Almendra: A Fairy-Tale”, I’m putting on hold all my Regency projects such as “The Unfortunate Story of Miss Storm” that I’ve been posting on-line and my current and greatly [...]

I don’t know how long I’ll last this time around (I think I didn’t make it beyond one week’s mark last time I tried) but I’ve decided to take part in NaNoWriMo again and write, or at the very least start writing, Almendra: a novel – Almendra’s Quest . Who else is doing NaNoWriMo this year? I’m looking [...]

In honour of Halloween I decided to post a rather scary (at least that was what I thought when I was writing it, because it was inspired by my fears connected with the uncertainty of the future and its oftentimes nasty surprises) excerpt from Almendra: A Fairy-Tale. Before entering the sinister shade of the ShawlWood, Joannah [...]

I’d like you all to meet Ethel Northbrook – a character without a story and (occasionally) my alter ego (if you visit this BLOG you’ll know what I mean). Anyway, today my paper self is indulging in a bit of witch-and-pumpkin impersonation fun.

My dearest Louisa, I have been in the most dreadful and pathetic state these two centuries at least. So wretchedly ill and fatigued you have no idea. My hands are so weak and lifeless I can barely proceed with what I have set out to do this morning, however, I am determined, even if it [...]

My dearest Louisa, You know how much I love you but I must tell you quite honestly that you are the most ridiculous creature that I have ever met with in all my life. How droll you are! I am sure I was excessively diverted by your letter so much so that I desired to [...]
