Wild Walks & Writing Sprints

Image
I'll show you how they fit together hand in glove:  I have a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to keeping a story flow alive while travelling away on holiday. My current work-in-progress has me inspired to keep writing every day, trouble is, we had an extensive holiday planned long in advance.   Not a sit and stay type holiday, but a hop and a skip to new places every day kind of holiday . Still, I managed to fit in a writing sprint every single day, and enjoy our holiday adventures to the full! How? Come with me: I used Pockets of Productivity (PoPs) in 10 minute writing sprints on my laptop: • My PoPs included at a cafe sipping an extra shot small skinny latte while waiting for vehicle feedback. • In the evening instead of watching television (hubs preoccupied with rugby). • In the campsite while admiring the view when my husband read his book (I had time to read too). • Early morning with birds twittering in the background before breakfast. • Basically any time you can ...

Eligible Bachelor Bungalows for Shy and Bold Alike I went on a deep dive recently to find the perfect bachelor pad   for   my fictional bachelors in two of my manuscripts. I wanted realistic bungalows for them and felt that these three suited their stories. (All images sourced from Canva and Unsplash)                     Bungalow 1 Bungalow 2 Of my two manuscripts, one has a shy, isolated yet genuine bachelor, Nel in Forest of Sun and Shadows.

You’ll have to find out when both books release in early 2025. I would love your input regarding suitable bungalows for both bachelors, from the choices above.

MORE IN 2024!

More Love, More Laughter, More Happily Ever After It’s going to be a cracker of a year! The feedback from Beta readers for Love & Laughter has been well worth the wracking nerves of sending it ‘out there.’  They helped bring greater depth to the complexities of midlife love. This novella promises to shake up the world of midlifers from a mundane routine existence. >> Critique readers will be requested in early March , so if you’d like to be part of the journey for Love & Laughter just comment below or send me an email headed Critique Reader to: elora.canne@gmail.com  What I read in the holidays: Just two books, which felt so luxurious to slowly languish through. Both were stories that required that leisurely reading pace, not the fast pace of an edge-of-your-seat story.  The books in question? The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. Touching on love, both young and midlife, culture, ancestry and nature, this story comprises everything I value. Beautiful...
