Hi everyone, welcome to this week’s writerly update. It’s been a short story week for me this week. On Monday I got inspired to write a fantasy short story and sat down and wrote 14 A4 pages by hand. I’m really getting into this writing by hand thing. I wrote more of it on Tuesday and now just have the ending to go, which I have already planned out.
I also did a draft of a short story that I plan to enter in a competition at the end of the month. And I did a draft of a flash fiction piece I also plan on entering into the same competition. I’m allowed to enter one story in each category.
I added 5 and a bit pages to the urban fantasy I’m working on, back to handwriting now since I typed up all I had written last week.
I’m also pleased to announce I added just over 2000 words to The Girl In The Mirror. I hadn’t worked on this one in so long and I had been dying to. For those who don’t know this is the special ‘me project’, the one I’m writing just for me, no deadline, no pressure. I do still plan on getting it published, just not rushing it. It now has a total of 23,676 words.
That’s my writing week. Fairly productive, but I still wish I’d done a bit more. How about you? How was your week writing wise? I’d love to hear from you.

Sounds like you had a great week! Well done. I find it hard flicking between projects but have been attempting to do it as I want to enter a short story comp in June and it’s only half written. I had a big week – worked like a mad thing tidying up my manuscript as I decided to get a structural edit on it and I needed to send it by last Friday. Won’t be much writing this week as I am spending an indulgent 4 days going to Sydney Writers Fest events! Will blog about it!
Good luck with the short story. Hope you have lots of fun at the writers festival, look forward to your blog posts on it 🙂
I still write by hand, but there is one drawback, even though i’m youngish, i have athritis in my hand -so beware. I’m also having a crazy week with the Writers festival looks like the blogging world might be quite this week.
sorry to hear about your arthritis, will remember that!
