vss365 week 1

January 12, 2019July 29, 2019 ~ Lisa Stapleton ~ Leave a comment

Last year on Twitter I came across a hashtag called #vss365 and had no idea what it stood for.

After looking into it more, I decided to take part in it this … Continue reading vss365 week 1

One last thing before NaNoWriMo

October 30, 2018October 30, 2018 ~ Lisa Stapleton ~ 2 Comments

Usually when writing, we favour quality over quantity. Sometimes you can spend weeks trying to formulate the perfect opening sentence. You might agonise over the right word to finish off your sentence. During NaNo, you need to take that mentality and throw it out the window. Find a box, get a lock and pop your … Continue reading One last thing before NaNoWriMo
