I've spent the last couple of weeks looking at authors' posts about how they would use self-isolation to write. Has anyone else found that the muse flees as time becomes more available? Still, I've managed to get a few bits and bobs done this week. Here's what I've been up to...
I wrote a poem I was actually pretty pleased with! All my poetry (or almost all of it) is strictly metrical, so there was only one place this poem was heading: The Frost Farm Prize. In this, I've been spectacularly organised because it doesn't even close until 30th March!
I've kept chipping away at my horror writing attempt, but this did escalate into a discussion about what the major genres of fiction are. We came up with the following:
- Children's Fiction - Picture Book
- Children's Fiction - Middle Grade
- Children's Fiction - Young Adult
- Horror
- Thriller/Crime/Mystery
- Romance
- Literary Fiction
- Fantasy
- Historical
- Science Fiction
Are there any others you would add to the list?
But, by far the most exciting thing which happened this week, was the commencement of my blog tour. The first blogger (https://mythicalbooks.blogspot.com/2020/03/review-caledon-by-virginia-crow.html) left a fantastic review! This led to much relief and giddiness yesterday!
Enjoy! But be aware: if you are not already, you could become fascinated by Scottish history and myths. ~Mythical BooksCaledon is part of the Smashwords "Authors Give Back" sale, so you can (for a limited time) read it for free here!
So, in terms of words written, this week has been lean. However, a word of praise is worth 10,000 words of drafting.
