Category: where I wrote

Yeah, alright… so I didn’t write much this week. But, I did take the little one to Adelaide for a 12km fun run. Last year, at the tender age of 9, he got such a good time that he qualified this year for an elite start. Which really just meant …

Friday night. Collingwood final. Boys all out. Me home by myself. First, I started with the to do list. Crossed off about 6 things. Then I just sat down and wrote and edited. It was just glorious. Then, I completed some modules from the chapter book course I’m doing with …

Last week, I said it’s time to get serious. 10 minutes writing every day is back. So, I mostly did. Remember I said it’s a weird time of year. Less sport, more home time. Well, I wrote a LOT on the couch. So boring. And it makes me sleepy. Really …

10 minutes per day. Easy right? Wrong. I’ve done a few bits and pieces. But have I been consistent? No. Have I taken photos? Ooops! I find myself in that awkward time of the year, where winter sports are winding down… summer sports have not yet started. Some of the …

This is the week that I thought I should write about farts on a fairly crowded train. I am 100% sure that at least one person has read over my shoulder and seen me write some fart onomatopoeia. And then seen me google onomatopoeia for trumpet like farts, then onomatopoeia …

Don’t you love how long weekends mess up your whole routine? I love it. Three days can feel like a week. My 10 minutes a day suffered as a result, but I made up for it with bigger pockets of writing, which is possibly a good thing. So, here’s where …

So, I have a story I want to share with you this week. Is it yet another one of those things that only happens to me? Anyway, I have to tell you all the exciting places I wrote this week and work it into the blog post that way. Cos …

In which my smugness from last week is a little on the embarassing side… So, remember last week? I was a little gung ho? Wanna get stuff done? Just write it on the internet? I have the answer to everything. Aren’t I smart? Blah, blah, blah. This week’s post is …

So, here’s an idea. If you want to do something, tell people you’re going to do it. I hear this all the time. Accountability. And yeah, that totally works. But what if you’re too shy to tell people your dreams? Or don’t think anyone will care enough to keep you …

In which I realised my writing habits are NOT good. Let me tell you a little story… about a girl who wrote a picture book every week for the past 2 years. About a girl who had to write to keep up. Who literally had to sneak a word into …

Winter sports are back! Which means lots of sidelines for me. The rules of winter sport: – I ALWAYS, ALWAYS watch games my kids are playing in. – Training and warmups are fair game. So here goes… First up, the couch on a Sunday evening. And then Monday morning, I …

Easter, Bluesfest, Anzac Day, foiled attempts at theme parks, and pure laziness = no writing. Here’s where I didn’t write for the last little bit. I did not write while I was at Bluesfest, eating my favourite Yemen festival food, dancing with Baker Boy, catching Ty from Vintage Trouble (literally …

You know those weeks where your normal routines are thrown out the window? Those weeks that seem to stretch on forever? I just had me one of them. I even had to check the dates on my photos to make sure I wasn’t cheating, I wrote on the train… …on …

This episode of where I wrote is coming live to you from the chiropractor’s waiting room. It’s all a little bit meta really isn’t it? So, this week, there were a lot of places I didn’t write, where I normally would. I didn’t write in the car on the way …

So, I may have mentioned I like a challenge. This year, the big writing challenge is to accumulate 50 rejections. Which means between Feb and November, submitting 5 things every month. Which meant, I submitted 5 things on Sunday 31st March, to meet my March deadline. I’m a last minute …

OK. This Wednesday thing has worked. Once. Beginnings of a habit right? I may have mentioned a few billion times that I’ve been doing a 52 week picture book challenge. The challenge finished up a few weeks ago, and I owed about 6 manuscripts. As of writing, today, I owe …

ON THURSDAY! Ooooops! Dear Teacher, I’m sorry that I forgot to do my Where I Wrote Wednesday on Wednesday. I was fasting for a capsule endoscopy and completely forgot it was Wednesday. I promise I will do better next week. The cockatiel ate my homework? Yeah, OK I forgot. I …

See what I did here? I’ve just turned my blog post into a weekly activity. Non-negotiable. One little word – Wednesday. Well, that’s the theory anyway. So where did I write this week? Short answer… everywhere and nowhere. I had the double joy of a colonoscopy and gastroscopy booked in. …

It’s been a while since I’ve kept the world informed of my writing habits. I know. Edge of seats stuff. Fear not though, the writing hasn’t stopped, just the navel gazing. But stuff has happened. I learned about the difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org, and moved my stuff to ORG …
