Anything that is inspiring, creative and moving. Writing about flawed characters in fantastical situations. Love all forms of fantasy, sci-fi and great stories.

Starting 100 days of writing with London Writers Salon, finishing the first draft for a novel I have been procrastinating for far too long. Aiming for 120k words by the end of the year. Current WC: 0 / 120,000 #final100daysofwriting

Day 1 done. Busy day, but managed to get the words out before bed. Sometimes you just need to write when you can. 1 day done, 99 days left till the end of the year. Current Word Count: 1766 / 120,000 #final100daysofwriting #WritersSalon

98 Days left to the end of the year and another day's writing done. Here are some great words from Duma Key, by Stephen king. "Black is the absence of light, but white is the absence of memory, the color of can't remember." Current WC 3,345 / 120,000 #final100daysofwriting

Day 3 of writing. Sometimes you don't feel like writing and sometimes showing up is most of the battle. After all, action precedes motivation as they say. Current WC 4,868 / 120,000 #final100daysofwriting #WritersSalon

Day 5: Funny how the times I really don't feel like writing end up being the most productive. And I usually end up taking the scene in an unexpected direction. Current Word Count: 9,056 / 120,000 #final100daysofwriting #WritersSalon

Day 6, came, did the work. Sometimes, you have to write on even when you're tired. Current Word Count 10,125 / 120,000 #final100daysofwriting #WritersSalon

Day 7: Made progress through a tough scene. One of many in this project. The Hemingway quote feels so real at the moment. "There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed." Current Word Count 11,365 / 120,000 #final100daysofwriting #WritersSalon

Day 8: 10% into the new novel and wrapped up one of the key emotional scenes. Right about now is when my other projects ideas start looking particularly interesting, but I must stay the course. Current Word Count: 12,397 / 120,000 #final100daysofwriting #WritersSalon

Day 9: Sometimes it's important to know when to write and when not to write. Listening to my body and brain and taking the weekend off to rest and recharge. Current Word Count: 12,397 / 120,000 #final100daysofwriting #WritersSalon

Day 10: No new writing but lots of new ideas for scenes and plot developments. Taking your mind off the work can have great results. All about letting ideas marinate as you restore your energy. Current Word Count: 12,397 / 120,000 #final100daysofwriting #WritersSalon

Day 11: Chipped away at the wordcount today. This takes the draft to just over 13K since the start of the last 100 days. Had a setback where I lost some important notes, but I'm not letting that stop me. Current Wordcount: 13,470 / 120,000 #final100daysofwriting #WritersSalon
