Good luck Glyn! I struggle with bum-on-seat too, but once I've cleared my desk a bit I find the momentum from others in this group very inspiring!

Deb

Get going then - what are you waiting for?!!!


; Avis

Hi Glyn - keep going at it! No editing or you'll have to sit on the naughty step, lol (I have been suffering the very same fate with my novel - the cycle started when I wanted a synopsis and first 3000 words to be sent off for one-to-one sessions at the York Festival of Writing next month and I don't have a finished novel... since then I've found it hard to go back and just write!!) So here we are ;0) X

Hi Glyn,
If you’ve got a plot and you now where you’re going, that’a big start. Once you start writing it, I’m sure you’ll find your momentum. Good Luck with it.

Lorraine

Thanks all, for your encouragement. I am trying very hard, to keep on track. I have weeks holiday in Turkey a week on Good Friday, so am trying to work overtime before I go.
Glyn

Keep on churning out the words.

Avis

Will do!

Glyn

Do let us know your word counts when you've written that day, Glyn....

o.k. I've not been very good so far this week, target of 500 words per day not reached. Yesterday 0 words! ;-( my husbad has had 2 weeks of work (that's my excuse and i'm sticking to it). I told you I was in desperate need of help.
I have added to and edited (per critiques)my 1st Chapter- Total word count so far 1362, since I first uploaded the Chapter.
Glyn

Stop editing the old stuff and launch yourself into new territory this Easter!

Go on I dares ya!!!

Avis

Yep, I second what Avis said!

Go on, do it! you know you wanna...

WIS - done any more?

WIL - I mean!!

Thanks for asking. Oh yes I've done some more, see addition to chapter I have already downloaded it. There's more to come it's quite a long chapter.

Glyn.

What's the word count now?

Off to Turkey 2moro for week.
Glyn x

Avis

Glyn

Hope you are having a good time in turkey and come back ready to write, write, write.

Did you take a notebook and pen with you? 0r did you deliberatlet not!

Enjoy Turkey!

Still in Turkey, flight just been cancelled by air-line. will try to travel overlanbd.
Glyn

Oh god! Poor you! Big sympathies, and I hope you find a way home without having too much hassle or having to spend too much!

Poor you indeed Glyn. Hope it doesn't cost too much.

Back now. Flight was organised. It was a shock. I was just on my my to book coaches, trains to travel overland. Tired but, glad to be home.

I'll bet you are...probably you could do with a holiday to get over the stress!!

;

Welcome back. Take a breath and start again

Glad you finally got back okay. I think Lorraine's advice is good!

Thanks all. I start writing tomorrow. Hope to write no less than 300 words. I feel a writing frenzy coming on!

Yay!

Virus on board. Didn't write (or do anything) yesterday. 600 words. monday and today. Will try for more.

Have you sorted out the virus problem?

Virus not with computer. virus on board me! That's what you meant right? lol
Tried to dose myself up yesterday, didn't work. Worked better today.

Oh, sorry - I didn't realise. I thought you had a puter virus! Glad you don't, but sorry you have a human virus instead! Get well soon!

Tanks!

Sniff! Poor you! All that stress of getting home, I'll bet. keep warm and watered and try you best - but don't beat yourself up!

Avis

Hi Glyn,

This is an old thread but I just waned to say hi. Any projects on the go at the mo?

Regards, Andy

'I just waned?' What does that mean? I guess that should be 'wanted'! ;

Glyn - you were so helpful with those book ideas. Thank you!

I hope you're doing well with your novel. Are you still on this - or another WiP?

I am still working on this Sharley.

Glyn

I hope it's going well, Glyn, is the end in sight yet?

Glyn, Are you going to give us a new update? You're teasing us with your dip in and dip out mode. ;
