Back from my Writers Retreat in France

at Circle of Misse which was hard work but really worth it. Fuelled by wonderful food, a nice long walk from my bed and breakfast each morning to Misse and inspirational tutorials and talk with my mentor and other writers I have now resolved some of the remaining issues with my storyline. I also got three old short stories critqued and ideas on where I should send these out to. The chapter plan of my novel is redone and I can see where I need to write a few more scenes(not many) and I have (ATLAST) put all the chapters into one big document file! I am going to print it off next week so I can read it all in one go...then I 'll read it a second time and mark up with comments and edit requirements. Still alot of work to do but it does now feel that it's realy comming together very well.

  1. Good to hear you're getting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. How many words is it?

  3. I'm starting to write some of the pivotal points in the plot because I'm impatient to work through them.

    I've gone down a few blind alleys as well -- like my orgy idea.

    I must have a similar number of words to you but my plot's not complete.

    Found some very interesting websites/blogs today, though, that I've mentioned on my blog.
