The Prologue is Never The End

Today is the final instalment of the prologue for my new Work in Progress, The Moon is Made of Glass. If you've been following along with the WIPpets today is the day you find out the fate of Carys - the young girl watching the moon in the pond. If you haven't read the first …

Reflections – WIPpet Wednesday

Happy WIPpet Wednesday! My favourite blog day of the week, where the fearless WIPpeteers crack open their works in progress and dare to bare them to the world in all their first draft glory! (It's not for the faint-of-heart, I can assure you). True to my word, this week's WIPpet is from my new WIP, …

The Moon is Made of Glass

I walk most mornings in the wee small hours before my husband leaves for work, and during the winter months that means rugging up against the cold and navigating the path in the dark (or by streetlight). However the past few days, in wake of the storm, we've had beautiful clear skies and one of …

A Moment – WIPpet Wednesday

If I had to pick only one thing to keep up with on this blog it would be WIPpet Wednesday - for many reasons. For one the WIPpeteers are a great bunch; supportive, interesting and very talented. I love our weekly check-ins, it encourages me to trawl through my own writing, take stock of where …

A Crowning Moment – WIPpet Wednesday

I had an interesting experience this week, when an inner ear infection caused an onset of severe vertigo. The world was spinning - and spinning fast. It's a terrible feeling when you can't focus on anything and even closing your eyes won't make it stop. In the end, relief came in the form of a …

Caught in the Act: WIPpet Wednesday

It's WIPpet Wednesday again and New Zealand is still being blasted by icy winds. A good time to hunker down in front of the heater, crack open the WIP and share something that relates to today's date and doesn't contain spoilers. Not as easy as it sounds, but at least we get to use WIPpet …

The Beat of the Heartstone: WIPpet Wednesday

It's my favourite time of the week again - the Wednesday WIPpet! Time to crack open the WIP and see if there is anything vaguely related to the date that is worth sharing with the world. Like everyone else, it's getting hard to find a passage sans spoilers to share. So in deference to the …

Is Your Plot Bunny Leading You on a Wild Goose Chase?

A weekly blog hop where writers get togetherto talk about what inspires them.This week I'm inspired by plot bunnies. Those marvellous story ideas that turn up at the most inopportune moments, dazzle you with their clever brilliance, and then bound off at speed, so you have no choice but to follow and see where they …

What’s Up Buttercup? WIPpet Wednesday

We're having one of those glorious autumn mornings in the Land of the Long White Cloud. It's cool but not the promised southerly that pierces the bones, the few low-lying clouds are burning off and the sun is shining. My poor sick children have recovered enough to be at school and I get to hang …

I Know How He Feels… WIPpet Wednesday

I was thinking of renaming this blog WIPpet Wednesday with Raewyn, mainly because real life obligations have been crazy time-consuming and the WIPpets have been about all I can manage. Saying that I adore the WIPpeteers, and at least I'm still tapping into the writing (it's alive, but on life-support at the moment). However I …
