Does anyone else find it hard to find the time to write sometimes? As if life just gets in the way?

Cleaning, working, people leaving and moving into your house, social lives, classes...

I received feed back on my writing yesterday. Everyone was very positive. They enjoyed the darkness. They loved some of my imagery. They offered me great advice on how to improve & my tutor said she would help me with finding more feminine ways to describe violence when I told her I didn't want it to be a gory, almost masculine scene.

Super excited to go back and make more edits now!

House goals!!

dream cottage🦆

 a little house nestled in the woods

a cold, quick stream running through the backyard 

a backyard garden full of wildflowers

a herb garden 

a fruit and vegetable garden-tomatoes, peas, peppers, blackberries, raspberries

peach and pear trees

a small pond that is home to a duck family

a chicken coop and room for them to roam

a rabbit hutch and a play area for them

a dock out back overlooking the water

a small boat

a white, wooden kitchen with big windows opening up onto the yard, herbs drying

a living room with whitewashed walls, whitewashed floors, a wood stove,

a pantry full of homemade jams, jellies, preserved fruit and other things

hundreds of books, and many soft couches and chairs

fireplaces in every room

a bedroom full of light, nature from every window angle, simple wooden furniture and flowers everywhere

bookshelves that push in to reveal a secret room

Current Writing Inspo:

Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber

A retelling of fairy tales that are darker, more sexual, with both empowered and vulnerable women. Its also very descriptive (sometimes too much so), but has some striking imagery!

Last year I attempted NaNoWriMo. I managed to write one short story but never had time to write anything else.

This year I am studying for a Creative Writing MA. I'm going to channel the spirit of NaNoWriMo and try and write loads for my creative writing project. Then I can relax knowing I will just need to edit!
