NaNo Diaries: Day Six

My Writing Desk... in the Dining Room


Morning Pages Wake Up Call: 6.32 
Word Count:2106 (Total 13097) 
Treats: Stopped for cappuccino and croissant while out shopping.
Exercise: Another walk in the woods 
Word of the Day: CREPUSCULAR (adjective) 1. of, relating to, or resembling twilight; dim; indistinct. 2. Zoology. appearing or active in the twilight, as certain bats and insects.





The lie in was not planned this morning but Naughty Nell woke us as 4.20am grumbling and growling. The two other dogs did not join in - if they had we'd have been deafened - but she did not stop despite our sleepy reassurances. In the end I switched on a torch and shone it at the place she was looking at. My Ugg boots. One of them had fallen over and I guess she saw something in their shadow, who knows?

I've written two different stories today. The second was prompted by a Monday Muse posted on my on-line writers group at Writers Abroad. It had created the nuggets of a character in my head who just would not go away so I had to let her have her day. And so she has and a very enjoyable encounter it was too. Love it when I go off the prescribed track, must be the rebel in me!

Ciao for Now

NaNo Diaries: Day One


Morning Pages Wake Up Call:  6.06am (a lie in by the standard of the last few days)
Word Count: 2011! Yay
Chocolate: Not a smidgen 
Wine: Well, maybe a glass or two - it's Sunday after all!





I'm kicking off this blog again on Day One of NaNoWriMo and it's also All Souls Day. This is the person behind my personal persona of Louise Charles, the girl that makes her tick. My Writer Within. It's a personal blog, about the things that make me tick.

I've been evaluating my 'job' as writer and decided I'm in this for the long term. Here I will share my motivations, the ups and the downs and at the same time remind myself of my achievements. If you want to hang around that's fine, welcome. So grab a glass, pull up a chair and settle down.

For starters, I'm not writing a novel for this month, check the next post if you want to hear more! And if you want to see my 'professional face' check out Louise Charles. 

Ciao!
