Another month of 2018 has gone. It looks like I was right; 2018 is going as quick as 2017. And I fear that again, I will fail to achieve my goals. But I keep trying to remind myself that 2018 isn’t over yet, so I must continue to…
When I decided to write a novel, I knew a lot of hard work would be involved. However, I never expected that my novel would take so long to get it to a submission-ready level. I wrote my novel in 2015, and after a two-month break, I started…
On the 27th January 2018, my fellow Oldbury Writing Group members and I took part in the Wolverhampton Literature Festival, where we did a talk on the benefits of joining a writing group. This was the second time we had attended the festival and the second ever Wolverhampton…
I know February is the shortest month, but it’s crazy how quickly it flew by. Now it’s March, and I’m starting to worry about my 2018 writing goals. I fear it might go the same way that 2017 went. However, the year isn’t over yet, and I still…
I can’t believe that January is already over. It looks like 2018 will go as quickly as 2017 did. However, I hope I will do better with my goals this year. So, how did January go? It went okay, but it could have been a lot better. So,…
Wow, it’s 2018. I can’t believe it. What happened to 2017? I feel like last year was set at warp speed. It was a crazy year, and not entirely successful (see my post ‘Reflection 2017 – My Writing Year’ for full details). But 2017 is now over, and…
Happy New Year! I can’t believe 2017 is already over. It doesn’t seem that long ago that I sat down and wrote my writing goals for 2017, and now the year has finished. So, how did 2017 go? Well, if you’ve read my other posts, especially the monthly…
It’s now January and December is a distant memory. December was my last chance to achieve my 2017 writing goals, but sadly, it wasn’t a productive month. However, it wasn’t a complete failure, and I did have some success. So, what were my December writing goals? Well, my…
It’s now December, and we only have one month left before the New Year. I had high hopes for November. I wanted to achieve all of my goals, especially with 2017 nearly being over, but sadly, things didn’t go to plan. November was National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo),…
It’s November, and we now only have two months left in 2017. I had so many goals for this year, but I’m sad to say that I won’t achieve many of them. It’s been a difficult year for many reasons, and my writing has had to take a…
