Writingforyourlife Christmas Wishes
Merry Christmas (only 4 more sleeps)!
My gift to you, loyal reader, is a new blog template, so you don’t have to look at the old one anymore. I was getting a little sick of it.
Guaranteed, I will be tired of this new template by New Year. But hey, they’re easy enough to change.
In terms of writing, I reached the 40 000 word mark today. Still, I feel it’s only the tip of the iceberg. I’m really looking forward to the new year and the challenge that lies before me. By this time one year from now, I hope to have a solid draft, preferably one that’s had a good rewrite.
I wish you all the best this season. Check back soon for new writing tips and resources.
I see the notion of talent as quite irrelevant. I see instead perseverance, application, industry, assiduity, will, will, will, desire, desire, desire.

Couldn’t agree with Gordon Lish’s comment more. It’s desire that keeps me going. I have no idea whether I have any talent.
Unfortunately, I have no idea how much I’ve written. I still haven’t figured out how to assign page numbers to my documents, or do a word count. I’m too busy writing to go on the Mac website and find out how to do it.
Perhaps that should be my next project, so that I’m not writing in the dark.
Oh, and you’ve been given the Lemonade Award. See:
