Coffee Talk Writing

I Do Declare. Or Something.

20th November 2017

And so, this time last week I was sitting in a very accessible coffee shop in Edinburgh with two former colleagues I hadn’t seen in a while. We were catching up before I realised they hadn’t seen Isla in a REALLY long time. ‘But I feel like I’m in your house every day,’ said one. ‘I look forward to your Isla posts every morning,’  said the other.  It’s a good thing I’m cross-eyed too, because I was able to look…

The Five Stages Of NaNoWriMo Regret

8th November 2017

I’m working through all of the stages.  At once.  Here’s a pep-talk  from Christine. *   While my blog, I’m Sick And So Are You, is a mere baby in the blog world, I am not a novice blogger.

Me: Oh, just looking forward to the Twin Peaks UK Fest…

NaNoWriMo Prep & Other Words

27th September 2017

NaNoWriMo and I have an interesting past. The first time I took part, I drafted something that I printed out on mint green paper, workshopped around, edited with red and purple pen, and then stuck in a drawer. Every fucking day year since I have done a variation on that same theme. Blast music.  Scribble.  Do laps around the house.  Love what I’ve written and want to write more. Do life and stuff. Eat popcorn. Cry. Laugh.     What…
