Things I Swore I’d Never Do

Start a blog. Take time away from writing to write about writing.

I'm not saying I don't enjoy the thought of tracking my progress, because I do. And I'm not saying that there isn't a certain merit in sharing experiences with a wider readership, because there is. But it was never my style, and even sitting here now - trying valiantly not to be distracted by my cat or my Office reruns - I am feeling incredibly uncomfortable tentatively optimistic.

I finished my first novel at the end of March. Just a smidge above 80,000 words, I was feeling on top of the world. Nope. Higher than that. I was somewhere out near Jupiter. I sincerely felt (as I'm sure many young writers do) that the hard work had already been completed and I was steps away from becoming the best-selling novelist I'd always known myself to be. Zadie Smith said:

“It’s a feeling of happiness that knocks me clean out of adjectives. I think sometimes that the best reason for writing novels is to experience those four and a half hours after you write the final word.”

I mean ... YES. That's it. That's the feeling.

And it's not as if I'm entirely NEW to writing. I have a google drive full of short stories, fanfiction, novel beginnings, inspirational quotes, characters, ideas, etc. But this was it - I forced myself to finish this one because I had never finished before and I was chasing that feeling. THAT feeling. Thanks, Zadie.

So here I am. On my blog. Failing Trying to do something worthwhile with my words. Dreading Hoping for like-minded friends and my fellow writers to see me and hear me and join me.

This year I made it my personal goal to read all the things and write all the words. So that is what we are going to do. Novels, blogs, nonsense. We're going to do it. Hopefully you're here with me for the ride.

i only see you in sleep,

where nothing is real

and time doesn’t exists

[words-from-soul]

Infuses life

Like the shade of trees in scorching summer heat

Like a melody on an evening sweet

Love can create you in ways most sublime

And also destroy you like an apocalypse

It be the most intense emotion, without which life seems incomplete

Did I mention it's potential to change a person in a deceit

Everyone falls in it's trick, whether a pauper or an elite

And adore the stars and the moon, even in it's eclipse

It infuses life, makes you alive

And hope, which is it's accomplice,

Makes you want to hold on to things even when it's hard to survive

Another day at work, which means another day of hopefully getting some words down, making a little money, and doing some reading. . . #author #authorsofinstagram #writer #wordsmith #storyteller #fantasy #scifi #booksbooksbooks #wip #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #writeallthewords #faeries #fae #SomethingWicked #readwriteunite #MCRiennaCallaghan #igauthor #igwriter #MCKieranOConner #authorgram #bookgram #ishouldbewriting #adayinthelife https://www.instagram.com/p/B1ZxPEoA00p/?igshid=1c756vmnvgqte

London

Spotify strikes back with the perfect songs. Sometimes I have the feeling that it knows me better that myself.

The song Fire fire from Flyleaf on my playlist while I was walking around the city in London. I listen to it, and I’m back in London. Back to that amazing bohemian vibes.

London wait for me I’ll be back to you soon.

Don't ask me

I fail naming titles

This world is a many sided spectacle ; it has it's sunshine as well as shadows Again no two persons receives the same impression from any object or experience of life . What makes one happy may only draw tears from another . These different reactions arise out of the varying temperaments and attitudes of people . Some are inclined to take an optimistic view of things ; others are prone to concentrate on their seamy side . Some are highly emotional & sensitive , while others can temper their feelings with reason & intellect . Those whose approach is predominantly emotional are bound to find life a sorry affair , for at every step there is something oe other which jars on or hurts their sentiment . But those who are thoughtful and balanced know that life can not be a bed of roses that even in the apparently dark situations there is a silver lining , a redeeming feature .

Day 2 of NaNo! How is it going for everyone? I am just sitting down to write some bonus words today before work. I find that keeping some of my favorite books close at hand helps to inspire me and motivate me to keep going. There is no series I love more than Harry Potter. To say this series is my childhood is an understatement. The prompt for #ReadGushNov17 today is #bookspiral. What a perfect way to show off some of my Harry Potter goods. Happy writing! . . . #harrypotter #amwriting #nanowrimo #nanowrimo2017 #writersofinstagram #writerslife #writeallthewords

day breaks into new

for some to fly or fall;

you watch them scatter around trying to find their place in

fields of eight foot sunflowers or treacherous minefields

with their teeth out for the world to see they are happy

or expressionless to keep trespassers away;

you witness the madness in a new day

watching hope play mind games of her own

where sunrise is an imposter for change, and merely a chance for all

either to fly or to fall.
