Another day, another session practising writing. The update from my employer is that they have no update for us working stiffs. Situation unchanged, we’re still locked down until further notice.

Lockdown Day 8
Conclusion time! I had a little experiment going with writing at different times of the day; namely morning, afternoon and right before bed. Night, I’ve heard some people call it.

So. In addition to being a lazy, haphazard and grammatically incorrect blogger, I'm also going to give this a go. I know, I'm pretty late to the party, but November is National Novel Writing Month! Yes, I belong to the wrong nation, but the guys at NaNo are doing amazing things. Even I, reluctant to start anything, lazy … Continue reading NaNoWriMo
