The Diary Of A Wannabe Writer

An update on my day and what I have written today.

I finally have got some writing done, on a flight between Lisbon and London. Hopefully more to come…

And today on the diary of a flight attendant, I explain why the day did not go to any kind of plan…

I’m working today so no writing, but here are some of my thoughts on the current music scene…

I finally managed to get some work done on “Empress of the Trees”: no actual writing but my story lining needed some work and I have finally done it, I’m now ready to actually write the final chapters…

I’m absolutely exhausted with almost no sleep last night, so no writing today, or submitting anything to anyone, but at least my loft is done.

An update in the hope I will shame myself into doing some writing!

I explain my ambivalence for football, and my absence for the last few days.

My thoughts on São Paulo as I arrive, and another rejection for “The English Hikikomori.”

I explain how I prepare for a night flight (by sleeping) and talk a little bit about some of the writing I still have to do on “Empress Of The Trees”.

I tell you about the first rejection letter from a prospective agent, and then, just as I was about to record, the second! As well as my ongoing plans for "The English Hikikomori."

I celebrate finishing the editing work on the completed chapters of the first draft of "Empress Of The Trees" and talk about what I plan to do next (which us complete the first draft of the book).

I discuss the limited ways that I use applications such as Grammarly in my writing process...

Some thoughts about the aftermath of the general election, and a promise to do some writing tomorrow!

With my working solidly for the next few days, I’ve decided to take a short break and I will be back with this podcast on either the fourth or the fifth of this month. Tatty-bye!

Quick talk about my day at work and what the next few days have in store… (No writing, too busy, working hard!)

I talk about my working day, and the fact that somehow England won the football (I’m not at all interested in football but today I was surrounded by people that were)!

A quick chat about why and how I created Marianne, my non-binary character who started life as a tertiary character and is definitely now one of my favourites and as primary as primary can be!

I have almost got to the point where I will be writing new material for "Empress Of The Tress" but my outline needs work... I have some decisions to make!

A chat about my current reading list and an update on "Empress Of The Trees."

Nothing new in this one, move along, move along!

I won’t be doing any writing today because I have a full day. I explain my schedule and tell you what I plan to do, in terms of writing, tomorrow!

A brief interlude where I celebrate my fantastic job, live in Times Square, New York. (Sorry about the sound quality it was a bit windy!)

I talk about the two possible options for work in July: complete the first draft of "Empress Of The Trees" as part of Camp NaNoWriMo, or sign off the final draft of "Still Life." Any thoughts?

I make my excuses for doing nothing writing related today (and yes, they are really lame!) and say my thank-yous to the people that have encouraged and supported me with "The English Hikikomori" along the way.
