So. I went my quietest that I've ever been in the last few years on social media. I've cut back massively on Facebook, I'm not on Twitter at all really, I'm rarely posting photos to Instagram. I've become slightly more active on Goodreads, but only because I pledged...
State of the Writing
#AtoZChallenge overview
Starting April 1st Author Interrupted is going to be taking part in the 2015 Blogging from A-Z challenge. We've taken part the last few years and to be honest, it's A LOT of fun. Monday through Saturday ( Sunday's off for good behaviour catching up on new blogs) I'll...

Resetting my priorities
I keep calling this idea the 'hard reboot', and it's something I've really tried to avoid because it's just so drastic, but here we go. A long time ago, I stopped writing and talked about burnout. I'm horrified to discover, reading back to when I first started...

State of the Writing, January 2014
So....there's a special system set up to track my month - it's quite long and involved, but you can find it here. January's wordcounts First up, the most important thing I'm doing is writing. I'm looking for a job out of the house, but wile doing that, I'm trying to...

State of the writing, 20th-26th January
Oh, it's been one of *those* weeks. You know, one of the weeks where you just feel flat and all you can do is grasp at nebulous straws while writing. Looking at the chart I'm going to post on Friday (end of January roundup), my 750words.com count is holding steady. I...

20k into the new year and what am I noticing?
Have you ever noticed that writers are obsessed with wordcount (and how many books they've sold). And I know I'm perpetuating that slightly with my 'state of the writing' category, I am noticing something that I haven't really considered before. My 750words.com...

6th-13th January metrics
So, the cutoff for these counts were 10pm Sunday, when I started to get my kids ready to go back to school this week. Overview of this week I started out great guns but am finding it harder and harder even to find something to talk about in my 750words.com, let alone...

Some pretty metrics and more
As you can probably see, at the top of my blog, I'm keeping track of the wordcounts I'm doing weekly. So, every week, we're going to work with my stats and share what writing I'm doing where. Mostly I'm trying to set up a bit of accountability. So, weekly from now...
