I think the response has been pretty effective, from what I’ve seen on the news anyway. Hopefully the crisis passes soon.

At the moment I’m working on plotting the second draft of Wattle Fires and finishing off the first draft of my world war one novel. I haven’t done a lot of actual writing lately but I’ve been having a lot of fun with…[Read more]

Is that the Coronavirus? There’s been a freak out about that here too because someone in Melbourne has it.

I’d forgotten about the Lunar new year stuff. I don’t celebrate it myself but there’s usually a lot going on for it,because  of the large Asian population I guess, but I haven’t seen any decorations or anything for it this year.…[Read more]

Thankfully we’ve been all right, though I was evacuated from work the other day because of a fire that randomly sprang up during some really bad windy weather.

@valtmy

You still here? It’s been a while.

@daughteroftheking love the name of your blog! It sounds so dramatic. And you story installments sound interesting too. I dont necessarily know how to do climaxes but I have heard it said that to build tension you use short, quick sentences.

@jenwriter17

talk to you later. My niece gives her farewells as well

@jenwriter17

for the novel I just started I want to get the first draft done by this fall. Doubtful, but it’s my hope

@jenwriter17

how many words do you think it will be at?

my goal is to finish up Decisions in the next couple of months, rewrite it over the summer, get it edited and then self publish probably by spring of 2021, but I’m still hoping for fall of this year

I’m just taking some general ed classes, ones that I need for every degree and will transfer when I end up going to university.

it looks good. Was this one your nano novel? I feel like we’ve talked about it before. How far along are you in it?

@jenwriter17

What’s your superhero story about?

thats what I’m mostly leaning towards

@jenwriter17, I’ll be on off and on.
It’s plain fiction, no fantasy elements at all.

what have you been working on lately?

@jenwriter17, I am!
