WELL THAT’S A FIRST
I WAS IN SUCH a mad dash to complete NaNoWriMo before the 19th that I forgot to post my diploma. This is the first time I’ve completed Nano before the 30th, and it was only possible because of the extensive planning and preparation that went in to it. I spent…
HERE WE GO AGAIN
IT’S TIME! Preptober, and InstaWrimo, are over and it’s finally time for the real challenge: NaNoWriMo 2021. In case you don’t know, NaNo is the (Inter)National Novel Writing Month, and it’s an event that encourages writers of all ages, from all countries, to come together and write 50.000 words in…
SPOOKY END TO PREPTOBER
WELCOME TO the very last of this year’s preptober, or InstaWrimo, posts. It’s Day 31 and for some readers it may be time to celebrate Halloween. I guess that’s why the last prompt is: – Spooky. Although there are elements of spooky in my Ulfrheim #wips, I’m not ready to…
FUN AUTHOR PHOTO
I CAN’T HELP feeling like the InstaWrimo team ran out of prompt ideas toward the end of this challenge. The last couple of prompts have not given us much to sink our fangs into, if you ask me. Nevertheless, we’re here and we’ll make do, so without further ado let’s…
SHOW ME A SHELFIE
A SHELFIE, they said… Only three more days to go before we have completed InstaWrimo and can begin the real challenge. Today (Day 29) it’s going to be another short post. The daily prompt is: – Shelfie. I guess that means we’re supposed to share a snapshot of our bookcase.…
YOUR FAVOURITE CLIFFHANGER
YES! IT’S InstaWrimo time again, and we’re down to the last four posts for this preptober. Today, we’re talking about cliffhangers and I know exactly what I want to focus on. I don’t know about you, but I love a good cliffhanger. As long as we’re talking about a chapter…
MY FAVOURITE QUOTE
SO, WE’RE DOWN TO the last five days of the InstaWrimo challenge, and today (Day 27) it’s going to be another short post. The daily prompt is: – Favourite quote. Well, I have two. The first one, if memory serves me right, is from an old film with snakes on…
WRITING SNACKS
INSTAWRIMO Day 26 is here and the daily prompt is: – Writing snacks. Right. Well, what do you know. This could very well turn out to be the first time ever I’ve managed to write a short blog post. My writing snack is tea. Or, as we call it here,…
YOUR NOVEL IN FIVE WORDS
HEY I’M BACK! And yes, I’m still behind, but today we’re doing InstaWrimo Day 25 where the prompt is: – Speedrun: Your novel in five words or less. Let me tell you, this had me completely stumped for days! I did write a one-liner a while back where the prompt…
PLAYLISTS & SOUNDTRACKS
INSTAWRIMO Day 24 is all about the soundtrack of our lives. No, scratch that. It’s just about soundtracks. Any soundtrack, I presume, so I’ll kick this off with a question: Have you thought about the role the soundtrack plays in a film or tv-series? How it can lift, or sink,…
