I missed a week! Actually, I've almost completely lost
October – how has it gone passed so quickly? In my defence for not blogging
last week, I had my new laptop and I've been writing. Yes, really writing. I've
been editing, writing new scenes and getting back in to the writing place in my
head with my muse beside me, pushing me on. It has been great. So I hope you
will forgive my lack of post last week.
This week has also be manic, work wise and on the writing
side. I think the writing side is going well and pushing onward. My challenge
for today is to get the house in order to make my writing space more Susan
friendly which means changing things downstairs allow for the changes to
writing area. I have edits to type up today and tomorrow I’ll be working on
finalising plot lines.
It would be great to know where you all do your main
writing. I know now with laptops many of us write on the go, which I find inspiring,
but also I get distracted by what is going on around me. I do my best writing
in the seclusion of my study area where no one dare disturb me. I've been known
to write in the garden when the sun is shining and the rain isn't falling, but
once again I can cope with the bird song, but not the lawn mowers, screaming
kids and arguing neighbours, unless I need some character studies. Let’s find
out where the creativity is created and written down. Please add a comment to
this blog, on facebook or on twitter.
This week’s topics have come from the TOPIC TIN. Listed below
are four challenges, select one that appeals, or do them all.
1.
Mother said she was sick, well she always does,
but today there was something different in her behaviour that got me listening.
2.
It is autumn and the garden needs attention.
Write an article for a gardening magazine. Research the magazines, target your
article and submit.
3.
Write a ten minute monologue. You need to include
the following words. Hiccups – Scissors – Drain – Feast – astringent – Void.
4.
Poem – Cobwebs. With the mornings being damp you
can see the strands of the spider webs enhanced by the morning moisture.
So there you are. Four TOPIC TIN tasks for you to get your
creative juices flowing. Go on, get writing.

I usually write best using the laptop in the lounge, because it's the warmest room in the house! But I also write in the car while waiting for the kids to finish orchestra/fencing!
Hi Katherine, thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment. I try now not to write in the lounge/sitting room because I'm too easily distracted. I like the writing in the car I think it is very much like a writing pod, but has other uses. Mind, I wouldn't mind a writing pod in the garden. I can dream.
