Ah, yes, I remember really wanting to read Wattle Fires back when you first introduced it! Still do, in fact. 😀

I was going to ask whether your WWI novel was the one where lots of people die, but then I remembered who I was talking to. Is there Spanish flu, in the end? 😛

I am trying to get back to actual writing too but am…[Read more]

@valtmy

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]

@seekjustice

Yep. We’ve had three cases over here. So far the situation’s seems pretty contained so thank God for that.

That’s great. Working life has its joys, doesn’t it? 😀 Except when there’s not as much time for writing.

What are you working on nowadays?

@valtmy

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]

@seekjustice

Great to hear that. Things have been well here, though there’s the ongoing hooha over the Wuhan virus. We’re having the Lunar New Year holidays now though so at least there’s a break from work.

How’s working life for you by the way?

@valtmy

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.

How have you been?

@seekjustice

Hi. Yes, it’s been a while 😀

How are things? The news about the fires has been terrible. 🙁

@valtmy

You still here? It’s been a while.

@alia @seekjustice @rochellaine @catwing @dekreel @jenwriter17

I’ll be around a while today…

@jenwriter17

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

@alia

That’s understandable. 🙂

I’m going to have to leave now. It’s been nice chatting with you! I might be on later, or maybe tomorrow too. Bye!

@jenwriter17

exciting, but probably not going to happen. I tend to get distracted easily.

ooh, thanks!

@alia

Your goals sound great! Exciting! 😀

Oh, by the way, if you’re interested there’s a new-ish website accepting guest posts currently. It’s authorssupportingauthors.com

@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

@alia

Thanks! Yes, it’s my NaNo novel. I think we probably did talk about it before here. I’m about 60k words in so far. I’m hoping to finish the first draft by the end of January, and fully edit it (including professional editor) during 2020. Do you have any writing goals for the year?

@jenwriter17

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?

@alia

Life really likes to get in the way of writing, doesn’t it? What kind of college classes are you taking?

Here’s the blurb for my superhero book:

@jenwriter17

yeah, I haven’t written more than a sentence in one sitting since August. College classes have been taking their toll.
What’s your superhero story about?

thats what I’m mostly leaning towards
