Hello friends! Happy new year, and of course, blwyddyn newydd dda! I feel like I say it every year, but I can’t believe how quickly this year has gone. It feels like I was just drafting my post in January 2024, and now here we are. But before we jump into what I’d like to … Continue reading Blwyddyn newydd dda!
It seems almost unbelievable to think that this time last year, I was sitting here in stunned disbelief that I’d managed to complete the writing challenge I’ve been taking part every November for at least a decade. It was the first time I ever managed to get over the finish line, and I swore it … Continue reading Multilingual Writing Challenge, off the rails
I seem to start all of my blog posts the same way nowadays: with an exclamation at how quickly time seems to be moving. But it’s demonstrably true, we’re hurtling towards the end of the year at breakneck speed. I feel like it was just yesterday I was sitting down to outline my posts for … Continue reading The Multilingual Writing Challenge 2024
I can't believe it's October already. It feels like I just finish writing one of these and then suddenly it's time to write the next one. Well, where to begin - I finished rewatching Gilmore Girls, I've been trying to catch up on a bit of reading and a bit of writing, but I've been … Continue reading PNP 2024, part 3 – Häxan, kapitel 3
So here we are again! It feels like the first of the month comes around quicker every month. In between dog-sitting for my parents and embarking on what must be at least my seventh rewatch of Gilmore Girls, I've somehow still managed to find the time to do a re-write of this. I really couldn't … Continue reading PNP 2024, part 2 – Häxan, kapitel 2
It’s that time again, folks - the wheel of time keeps on spinning, and it’s time to start our preparations for Polyglot NaNoWriMo! For those of you who read my last entry outlining my new posting schedule for the year, please bear with me while I recap for those of you who didn’t. As Polyglot … Continue reading PNP 2024, part 1 – Häxan, kapitel 1
Well! I’ve written and rewritten this opening paragraph about six times now, the vibe was off every single time - usually in these posts, I check my progress against the goals I set myself this time last year. I say ‘goals’, but they’re more sort of general guidelines; I don’t like to be too strict … Continue reading An uncharacteristically positive start
I've been doing Polyglot NaNoWriMo now for more years than I'd care to remember. Every year, I tell myself it'll be different - it won't matter if I miss a few days here and there, I'll be able to catch up; maybe I only need to do half of it, that's better than nothing; I … Continue reading A Polyglot NaNoWriMo success story
It’s been looming over the horizon like a literary zeppelin for quite some time now, but now I can officially say… Polyglot NaNoWriMo 2023 has begun! I’ve spent the past week or so getting acquainted with my characters and writing a short skeleton draft (which is really more of a timeline of events), to prepare … Continue reading Polyglot NaNoWriMo: Tokyo Drift
Well then! Here we are, it's spooky season, it's finally arrived! Time to dust off your DVD copies of Hocus Pocus and start intravenously ingesting pumpkin spice lattes by the gallon. It can't just be me, surely? If you've missed my last two posts, then check out my post from August which explains in more … Continue reading Polyglot NaNoWriMo Preparation, part 3
