I love Stephen King. Whether you know me or not, you'll quickly learn how much he's impacted me as a writer and a reader. I love his tireless ability to just keep going and I can only hope to one day feel a little of what that would feel like. But then he'd tell me … Continue reading The Stand Remake
So yesterday I managed 6 hours sleep then was back up and back to work, until my hands gave out. Completely. I couldn't move them without them cracking and aching, so I had a hot bath and took the rest of the night off. Made it to 5150 words though! Starting much later than expected … Continue reading Dissertation Update #5
I've survived until now. It's after eight am and my eyes are gluing themselves shut. I've typed a good chunk and handwritten two other chapters as I'm reworking old drafts and my brain finds it easier to write. I'm rambling, sorry. I'm probably going to sleep for a while. My hands will be throbbing later, … Continue reading Dissertation Update #4

English is my native language, Italian is my best second language. I can cope in Spanish (reading's fine, and mostly listening - it's the speaking I have trouble with) … Continue reading 30 Blogging Challenge – Day #2
A freewriting exercise to try get my creative juices flowing again. I've been terribly blocked lately. This could become more, or not. Enjoy. There is no time to think. Only react. I jump as the zombie face screams bloodily into the screen. I am the character, I am the screen. I shudder with a cathartic … Continue reading A Zombie Tale
My course started on Saturday and I've managed to spend at least a couple of hours each day since to contribute to the forums and work on assignments. I've received really good feedback from a couple of other students on my first submission. I'm not good with criticism whether good or bad, and I struggle … Continue reading Back to the drawing board
