I visit Murder She Wrote, a blog written by several mystery/romance writers when I remember. I wish they’d set up a RSS feed so I could receive a visual reminder of a new post because they have some interesting stuff. Natalie R. Collins’s post today is full of advice from published writers about writing and the business. I found it really useful even though I’m published. Definitely check it out if you have a minute.
I’m quietly pleased with my writing progress this week. I’ve written 2000 words each day on my next Middlemarch story plus I’m polishing another story. I just need to do a little more tweaking and give this story another read through and then it’s off to my editor.
Tomorrow will be a quiet day on the writing front because I’m heading off to the Ellerslie Flower show with my sister. This is an annual event held every November and it always rains. You can bet on it. Today we’ve had strong winds and torrential rain but luckily the forecast is for better stuff tomorrow. I’m not confident enough to leave my umbrella at home.
2K a day!!! That’s AWESOME Shelley. I check out that blog occasionally too. I’ll have to run over there.

Awesome word count progress!
Keep it up!
by Tempest Knight November 14th, 2007 at 6:16 amWow, that’s more than the Nano daily average. Which I never make anyway.
Always bring an umbrella. It’s the best way to keep the clouds off.
by Gabriele November 14th, 2007 at 12:28 pmThanks, Jennifer. I enjoy the garden show even though I’m not a big gardener. That’s hubby’s department.
Tempest - I’ll admit I’ve been struggling this year. I finally feel as if I’m on a roll again.
Gabriele - the weather is actually good. The sun is shining but I’m going to go armed for wet weather

by Wylie November 16th, 2007 at 12:56 pmGreat productivity… WTG
No, I never do Nano or anything like that because my mind starts revolting against the pressure or something. I do try to do 2000 words most days. Some days are better than others.
