Note to Self...

Well before the whole of May goes by without a single post (how did that happen?!?!?!?!) here's an update on what I have been up to...

Reading this!

ACID - Emma Pass

So excited to finally have my hands on this book, but to do it justice I will save that for another post!


The big news this month is that I have (finally) reached a point where I have a complete readable draft! So I am currently annotating my way through this...

I have some big plot holes to fill, and a character whose gender currently changes mid-chapter (I changed my mind, that's all!) and a whole bunch of clunky sentences to fix, but it's getting there!

The more professional editors and writers amongst you will no doubt be familiar with the standard editing symbols. I however seem to rely on a series of smiley faces, frowny faces, scribbly red pen, and pencilled comments in the margins!

For your viewing pleasure...

 

 

 

I'm not always that harsh on myself - there are plenty of smiley faces too!

 

 

 

Right, back into the writing cave I go! See you next month!

Books, books, everywhere...

I spent last weekend putting up what I think will have to be the final bookcase in my house. I have run out of room, but not run out of books! I clearly need to get a bit creative...

Walls made of books maybe? 

 Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'top shelf'...

wonder what books get kept up there?

Saves on wallpapering too! 

Includes hidey-holes for Le Cat

 I love this idea! Trying to figure out if I can get it to work on my stairs. Although, I have enough trouble with the cat tripping me up every morning though, so maybe not the safest idea!

Now this is how you make bookshelves out of a staircase!

I'd love to see that the rest of the house looks like.

Right. I'm off to stash more books away!
