WriMo Ireland

Yes, already. Cavantucky and I just can’t help ourselves – there might be 3 and a half months to go till the start of NaNoWriMo 2008, but she and I have already been swapping ideas about what we’re writing this year.

And since we both have unfinished projects that we want to get out of the way, we’re going to get back into the writing habit right now. Well, next week anyway…

We’re setting ourselves a goal of 10,000 words a week (for as long as it takes, I’d imagine) and you’re invited to join us with whatever size goals you want to set yourself.

You could join in one week and not the next if you have other things in life to contend with. Or you could try and keep up with us (OK, keep up with Cavantucky) for as long as you like.

So: what’s your goal for summer (what’s left of it) and autumn this year?

Happy New Year!

How did it get to be January already?! December went by so fast (and so unproductively for me, in writing terms).

What are your writing and reading resolutions for the new year? (more…)

(And I nearly put 2007 in the title. D’oh.)

 Anyway, there was a post the other day on the Emerging Writer blog about the following reading challenge:

Pick six books – one from each of the following categories…

A book with a colour in its title.
A book with an animal in its title.
A book with a first name in its title.
A book with a place in its title.
A book with a weather event in its title.
A book with a plant in its title.

I really like the idea of doing this, but can anyway think of any books to fit these categories? I have a few that would work, but obviously I’ve read them before.
