We talk about creating conflict in a novel, but we must be careful not to create conflict for conflict’s sake. We need to create fictional conflict that counts.
I downloaded Campfire a couple of minutes ago, and I may have just fallen down a worldbuilding hole…
Re-writing the death of a pretty random secondary character for my children’s novel while listening to Steam Powered Giraffe’s ‘Honeybee’ and… I’m so sorry… *sobs in overly sensitive writer*
google search of the day: do llamas have shoulders?
Haven’t stayed up this late in a while, and I haven’t stayed up this late to WRITE in a while, but I’m not unhappy about it, even if I’ll feel terrible tomorrow. Not sure anything I’ve written will make sense or even be mildly interesting come morning, but I got a couple of thousand words down, and in this moment that’s good enough.
Aaaaaaand, I’m finally back to editing (special thanks goes to Late Night Me for shaming Demotivated Morning Me into it). Thought I’d share a couple of working titles from my WIP. Today’s mood: Bad Decisions in Style, but I’m actually working on New Reality Who Dis? because I need to get it out of my head once and for all.
I wrote 1800 words in one go today. They’re awful words, not fit for reading, but it’s more than I’ve written in about a year, and I feel like I’m not that far from my old self anymore. As if behind the grime and the dirt of exhaustion and disuse, my writing hasn’t rotted away completely.

Find out who you write like!
I wish! :D Thanks so much for tagging me @sweetlittlevampire . Now I just need to get back to writing which hasn’t been easy what with work and… work.
Tagging: @webuiltmonsters , @softselfsignificance and anyone else who cares to give this a go <3
