I can't believe it has been over a week since I posted. Well over time for another! I started this post a while back hoping to collate a list of my favourite writing quotes, but I've found that some of the quotes are good for life in general.

The Big Edit
I've been working through the novel I wrote during National Novel Writing Month last year. Attempting to edit the beast. At 100,153 words it is massive - easily 40,000 words longer than anything else I've written. 40,000 words is almost a novel in itself. I've read through it all once, and I'm relieved to say … Continue reading The Big Edit
Nice Surprises :)
I have a notebook full or writing quotes... somewhere. I moved just over a year ago, and while I'm sure I've seen it since the move - for the life of me I can't remember where I put it, or where it might be. Nevermind - I have a record of most of them somewhere … Continue reading Nice Surprises 🙂

But it is also heaps … Continue reading National Novel Writing Month

I liked them when I was young, and my kids love them now. So to celebrate I thought I'd share some fantastic Dr Suess quotes: “Don't … Continue reading Happy Birthday Dr. Suess!
Free Inspiration
I love how WordPress has little quotes on the side of the screen, as part of the congratulations for publishing another post. It's like a little piece of free inspiration to keep the ideas flowing. At least it has been for me. And not just as inspiration for blogging, but also for my writing. The … Continue reading Free Inspiration
Saturn Return?
Image: suphakit73 / FreeDigitalPhotos.net I hadn't heard of this till the other day - a facebook friend commented on how the Saturn Return had definitely visited her. What? So I googled it, of course, to find that every 30ish years Saturn returns to the same place in your natal chart as it was when you … Continue reading Saturn Return?
