Here is the place to tell us about your daily success (or the lack of it)!
May the magic be with us all!

I'll put up the daily post in late afternoon or early evening, CET.

I have begun work on an idea for my Easter Egg story. Mainly playing with an idea, trying a few things. I have two notebook pages done for today, plus a good amount of thinking time, running through the what-ifs while things gel a bit more.

It's Sunday so the morning is the Sunday paper and coffee in bed :) So did nothing particularly substantial, but went through some old files looking for some lines and a picture that I thought I could use for my Easter Egg story. Found them. Now I have to think...

Today I was at an event shared with our sister church here on the island. Having spent time preparing and doing crafts with the children who were there my brain is fried.

I am just about up to writing a few comments :(

Not a great start - unexpected visitors and a minor household emergency cut into my time, but I did manage to dig out the "description journal" I started some time ago (I saw this article suggesting it, and thought "I should do that, started it with one of the many many notebooks I have around the house and then....fell away what with one thing and another) and start a description of one of my visitors ("she had a long, superior face like a vaguely confused llama and kind dark eyes") and a couple of people ("pale stone-coloured eyes and a smile that seemed to have been painted on and then forgotten") I want to use for inspiration in stories.

Because I have come to think that short fiction is what I do best and therefore what I want to try and do when I retire, I also want to hone and sharpen my descriptions - people, things, places - to make them shorter and more vivid, so the journal will I think come in handy.

No writing was done today (not even the typing up version of it) because I was struggling with the design of the last quiet book page. It's more or less done now, so I have tentative hopes for tomorrow.

Hello all. I had a horse show two hours away today, so no writing for me. :)

Most of what I did yesterday was playing with pictures - and walking on a very cold little hill once the wind died down a bit - but I managed some scrappy words at the end to get me going.

102 words, Saturday's walk.

Moncreiffe Hill's main claim to fame, really, is as the hill which the main road hugs for a while as it comes into Perth, before throwing itself across the river at Kinnoull Hill instead.

I'm a little late, well, a lot late due to recuperating from a dinner party on the 29th.

Yesterday, I edited and put up Want to See What Trouble We Can Get Into? on AO3 - 851 words written in response to a prompt from cornerofmadness
