Day 10 - NaNoWriMo

"All characters are based on elements of a writer's personal experience." Robert Holdstock






It was a hard night of writing, only reaching a total of 1385 words. I found it really hard going as I had to write a love scene - my first ever. The fact that the two characters were my grandparents, made it even harder. ;-)

Day 4 - NaNoWriMo

"Being a real writer means being able to do the work on a bad day."  Norman Mailer

I am both frustrated and disappointed that my considerable work commitments gave me no time to write even one word for two days in a row. I arrived back home from the conference late last night, too exhausted to write.

So, on Saturday, day 5, I must, repeat MUST write a minimum of 5000 words to catch up.

Over and out for now.

Day 3 - NaNoWriMo

"We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out." Ray Bradbury

Oh dear, not one single word got written on Day 3.  I am at the 'Teaching and Learnign with Vision' Conference on the Gold Coast, Queensland.  Very early start, full day, very late night.  HOWEVER... I just went to a key note address with George and Alec Couros from Canada and they put up the NaNoWriMo web site on the presentation screen, citing it as one example of excellent collaborative networking.  These guys are both Professors of very high esteem.  So, NaNoWriMo...take a bow.

ciao for now

By the way, the you can find George and Alec on Twitter @gcouros and @courosa
