Beating Off The August Monster
It isn't even June and yet I'm already counting down the days until the summer holiday begins. No more getting up at 6am. No more preparing packed lunches, reading school newsletters, or scouring the house for change to pay for miscellaneous school fees. It will be peaceful, restful, and above all organized.

"I started my novel at the place where my main character leaves his comfort zone. He's on the verge of a complete new life, although he doesn't know it yet. "
Fi Phillips replied to the discussion 'How Long Should It Take to Write a Novel?' in the group Your First Novel
"As long as it takes.
I've been working on my main novel for years, off and on. I wrote a children's novel in about a year then took another six months to get it into a condition to send off. "

Hello
My name is Fiona (Fi). I'm a forty something mother of two and wife. For years I worked as a PA/administrator/secretary to support my habit - writing. I've always been a dreamer, an observer of people and a creator of worlds.
You'll usually find that I'm writing a novel but since 1997 I've been penning murder mystery plays for my business, Murdering The Text with two occasional co-writers. I write a blog to accompany the business, a writing related blog, my personal family history research blog and a fourth blog called the Sitcom Skirmish which describes my journey with my husband to break into writing for television.
I lead a very full life, writing, working, networking and creating in between looking after my two children and their two guinea pigs.

7 ways to get back into your writing routine
Posted on January 12, 2011 at 3:00am 4 Comments 0 Likes
We're almost two weeks into the new year but I'm still finding bits of tinsel behind the armchair and recovering from Christmas noshing. The festive holiday is gone in no time but two weeks of children at home and celebrating have knocked my writing routine into the nether regions of time and space. Here's how I plan to get back into the writing…

8,000 plus words. Wow some people take years to do that. They shouldn't.
Jodi: I saw your message below. None of us are crazy. It just looks that way to other people who are not compelled to write.
