A very useful sort of deadline! How's the synopsis treating you?

I have a couple of critiques to do, and I might start a blog post based on some excellent events at Stroud Book Festival over the weekend. What's your deadline for?

I haven't read The Artist's Way, but I do find that visiting museums or galleries really energises my creativity. How was Hampton Court?

That sounds like an enticing combination.

Love this idea as an exercise!

A6 Yes! It's important that it doesn't feel like a chore, that we have a routine but it isn't rote or in a rut. #WomenWritersNet

A6 It’s become stronger and more resilient. As writing is part of a daily habit, I am able to keep up with it in some way no matter what happens, and to see small successes in any idea or new perspective, even when they are for my eyes only. #WomenWritersNet

A4 It is different, I find for example if I’m in the editing stages, I’m a more impatient reader because my brain wants to edit other people’s books too. So the strategy of taking in others’ work doesn’t affect me in the same way. #WomenWritersNet
