I’ve been writing fiction on and off since I was a teenager (back in the day I used to write fanfic) but I never took it seriously until a couple of years ago. Me? A writer? Nah. Wait, actually… I’ve still got a lot to learn but here are 5 annoying habits to avoid when writing fiction – mistakes I’ve found I’ve been making when looking back over chapters I’ve written from the past couple of years.
So I took part in another AutoCrit writing challenge yesterday, this time it was a Tale In A Day one from their live shows. We were given four prompts – a warehouse, a sudden change in weather, a raptor, a dialogue prompt “Why did you do that?” and we had a day to write the story, this is what I came up with.
Hello everyone, I haven’t posted on my blog for a while but I’ve got another recipe to share with you all, a baking recipe to be exact, for a mandarin loaf cake which I baked earlier today.
I’ve changed things up a bit on here this evening and removed the poetry page from the top navigation bar, I figured now I’m sharing my other writing on here it should all be under the one writing category so I’m just going to share the poetry that was on that page, in this post.
I thought I’d join in with the Destination Unknown AutoCrit writing challenge again this month, once again we were given the first and last words then it was up to us to create an (approx.) 1,000 word story using them (…the only other thing was there needed to be some sort of spooky element this time around, perfect for Halloween). So, here is mine…
A new The Sims Freeplay house design, this time a hotel for Sims. I created this using the lot we got in the Wedding Belles live event.
I haven’t posted anything garden related on here since spring so I thought it was about time I did a garden post for autumn. The leaves are changing colour but there are still plenty of flowers around in the garden.
It’s been a couple of years since I last shared a post like this on my blog so obviously a few things have changed on my shelves since then (more books have been added for example) but not only that, my book collection has expanded out of my cubes and is now on various other shelves around my room. I even had to buy a new storage trolley the other week to accommodate new books to stop me from having piles of books around my room.
I’m back with another recipe today, this time some plum cakes topped with pink icing, marshmallows, chocolate curls and icing sugar.
I’m pretty sure this was actually the first time I’ve ever bought anything from Paperchase (I know right, for someone who loves stationery how have I never bought anything from there before?)
We had some strawberries that needed using up so I decided to bake some strawberry cakes, I thought strawberries and clotted cream would make a great combo for this time of year, especially since it was very nearly the start of summer when I baked these last week.
I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve shared any of my actual writing on my blog that isn’t poetry but here we are, today I am going to share with you my entry for the Destination Unknown writing challenge on AutoCrit. The first line and last line were given to us and then we could write whatever we wanted for the rest of it, we just had to write 1000 words (or there about).
