Twilight

I went to watch Twilight again last night and I am still not satisfied. I need to go again!!!!

10th January 2009

I have been feeling frustrated with my writing lately. I have loads of ideas, they keep me awake at night, but I struggle to get things down on paper. My head is a mess of inspiration! My ideas are varied so I can't put them all in one story.

I am hoping my new blog, the idea of which I have pinched off Liz (thanks Liz), will help me get some of these ideas down and out of my system. I am hoping it will also help me achieve no 1 of my New Years Writing Resolutions.

Short Story

I have been working on my short story for our book Shadows. I have gone back to my original plan so I am now on version three but I am worried it sounds to Twilightish.

I was going to read it out at our writing group tomorrow but don't think I will.

I was feeling very positive about it when it was version one and I have gone back to my original plot so I don't know why I am unhappy with it now.

Ho Hum!!!

Twilight

I have been to see the film Twilight today and I loved it. So much so I watched it twice one after the other lol.

If anyone wants to see it again I am up for it.

Sarah loved Jasper so I have attached a picture of him just for her. She thought he was best playing baseball but I couldn't find a pic of him in that scene.

Writing New Years Resolutions

I have just been reading Liz'z blog and really like her Writing New Years Resolutions. So here are mine!

1. Make quality time to do my writing. By quality time I mean somewhere quiet with no distractions and no multi tasking!!

2. Complete three stories for the Shadows Short Story Book

3. Plan my novel BEFORE I write it!!

I haven't put any deadlines because doing resolution number 1 will be an achievement in itself and if I do that one the other two should fall in line. In an ideal world!!!

Thanks Liz for the inspiration

New Years Day

Had a beautiful day today. We have been walking in the Peak District and have taken in Castleton and Pevril Castle. This area is one of my favourites. Sometimes I have to be carefull I don't go to the same places over and over because I love them so much.

I have to experience more. We are so lucky to have so much beautiful countryside. There is so much of our country I have yet to discover.

Happy New Year to everyone. Hope it is a great one.

New Years Eve

Happy New Year Everyone.

I hope you are all feeling well and are not suffering too much from last night lol!

We went for a curry and a few drinks with a friend of ours. We got back home before midnight and opened a bottle of champagne ready for Big Ben and we drank it while enjoying everyone elses fireworks!

We wrote down what we wanted to leave behind in 2008 made our lists into origami boats went for a midnight walk to a nearby lake put our boats on the lake set them on fire and watched our problems/things that needed changing from 2008 go up in smoke.

It was very theraputic really. Our problem was we forgot to take a torch with us and ended up falling over rather a lot which we found funny at the time (probably due to the champagne) lol. We have a few cuts and bruises this morning!!!

Love you all
