I Apologize: Have Some Good News!

Firstly, let me apologize for not having given any previews or updates in the last few weeks. It's getting to be a bad habit, but one I'm intending to break for you.

My first step of this apology is to start with an exciting little announcement: I have officially completed the draft of the first 5 chapters of my novel! The total comes to nearly 5,000 words. I've officially emailed it to my number #1 fan/proofreader this afternoon to be looked over.

The next few days will be spent planning out the next few chapters, and I will hopefully begin writing chapter 6 before the end of the weekend! Stay tuned!

Writer's Festival: Part Deux!

Just a small update about the Christchurch Writer's Festival, which was unfortunately cancelled last year due to the September quake.

From May 6th-8th there will be a mini-fesitval held in the art centre with a few of the guests who were planning on coming in September. The full Writer's Festival will return next year, 2012.

Life Goes On: Catch Up Ahoy!

Unfortunately my writing goals have not even been close to met the past couple months, especially February's goals. Moving into a flat, administration at work and the earthquake have definitely dampened the fires of creativity, but life goes on and so shall my tale!

March is now the month for me to finish more planning (January's goal) and draft roughly the first 5,000 words or so (February's goal). This will roughly put me back on schedule, and I shall aim to increase the goals of the next few months to try and get things going at the pace I had roughly intended when I started this project.

I shall make a small preview updated from some of my files tomorrow, as a preview for February and will work hard to make sure March stays on track and that I can make a couple of more substantial updates throughout the month: so stay tuned.

Carpe Diem!
