Decisions, decisions...


I don’t believe in writer’s block. I do believe in writer’s indecision.


This is the current writing/study sitrep:

  • One novel MS finished. I have decreed it to be so, as I suspect I'm only rereading and changing it now because I don't want to let the characters go.
  • One uni research project in progress, which should take priority because there’s an actual deadline and it’s the last assessable task for my Masters. And then I'll be DONE.
  • Four diverse middle grade and YA projects at various stages, and I want to work on all of them - all the time, concurrently.
Herein lies the indecision.

First steps, fear and following through

I’ve discovered a new phobia: Twitters-fear.


I’ve joined Twitter - @AlexFairhill - and I’m stumped about what to write for my first tweet.

I’m reasonably new to the social media game. I’ve had a Facebook account with the privacy set to maximum for years and have tried hard to avoid the ‘what I had for breakfast’ trap, but blogging and Twitter are foreign lands and languages. So why, you may ask, am I doing it? Two reasons: to sharpen up my writing skills, and because I need to. And I do love to travel, even if it is while chained to a desk.
