Writing Book Blog

I considered starting a whole new blog for this, but I don’t really want to. So I’m going to sort of incoporate a bit of a writing blog here, where I’ll blog about this process of writing a novel/memoir. Updates won’t be too regular, and many of them will probably be password-protected because I think writing opens up a lot of personal stuff that I don’t really want to display to the world. The password will probably also be different to the password used for my usual protected posts, so if you’d like to read about my processes of writing an adoption book/memoir/novel, please contact me for the password. I may also post the occasional excerpt, which I definitely don’t want open to the public.

As this post is (obviously) public, I’m just going to say right now that I have 6000 words and for once, I’m pretty happy with those rough 6000 words, and have no intention of starting all over again. Again. So yay! I’ve been writing a bit a day (I only wish I had more time to do so!). And a random thing about me: I write really well in cafes. I get a lot done in cafes. Dunno what it is about cafes, but they’re just very writerly places for me.

It sucks that making a career as a novelist is rather difficult. But I wish I could. It would be the best thing ever.
