Writing away every day
Are you joining the Every Day in May challenge? I have decided to get back into my novel – every day of this month. I had a good start today as I got up at 5.30am ready to roll. Me, a cup of tea, the heater and my laptop. Perfect. Didn’t write a lot, but wrote soemthing so here’s to getting creative (and going to bed early) in May!
Day One: 500 dodgey words. Read over first four chapters. Spent a lot of time working out what music I needed to be listening to. Decided I like my book well enough to get back into it. I consider this to be a successful morning.

Hi Claire,
Thanks for the inspiration – I am taking my own small approach to it and hope my world will leave me room to have a creative act each day and blog about it to finish it off!
Look forward to seeing your news.

Hi Claire.
Wow. A novel. Seriously impressive.
Lovely to bump into you and your little family today.
Isn’t the bloggy world so tiny?

yeah i’ve been inspired by that too. i’m going with the simple granny square a day.
if you write 500 words a day you’ll really get quite into it!

Mine is something creative every day. Blogging doesn’t count. (Unless it’s an emergency situation, like yesterday when I forgot all about it…)

Working, parenting, creating and writing… the only way I ever do ANYTHING these days if it starts with a challenge or ends with a deadline. I’m a couple of days behind, but I’m going to try and write 1000 words tonight and catch up.

Hi Claire,
sorry to be behind – what is your novel about.
Thanks for the suggestion, I think I will give Every Day in May a whirl and get writing.
Exciting prospect (a little daunting.)
