Loony?

I've had a very writerly productive bank holiday weekend :) I'd like to think this was all down to me just knuckling down and getting on with it, but I can't help but notice that it coincided with a full moon. I've noticed I'm increasingly more productive and creative during the full moon stage of the moon cycle. I'm sure my other half will agree that it also seems to have the 'loony' effect on my behaviour! Oh well, positives have to have their negative counterparts, but every cloud has it's silver lining :)

Senior moment!

So much for me getting myself organised and writing more. I was all geared up to enter the NAWG competition in several categories, then a senior moment has spoilt it all! I forgot to post before the deadline, and they don't accept email entries :( Oh well, maybe next year then.

I am determined I will have my children's novel finished and edited and revised by October ready for The Times/Chicken House competition :)

"Once upon a Munch Time..."

If you write for children then this competition is ideal for you. Starting with the line "Once upon a Munch Time, there was a cow called Munch..." you have to write a story between 600-800 words.

More details and writing tips are on the website: www.munchtime.co.uk

Closing date is 4th June 2012
