Oh goodness, I'm writing.
If I write more and word count less, I might even make 10,000 today!
Everytime my brain comes up with something to stop me like 'all your tenses are confused' I decide it doesn't matter and can all be sorted out later. Is this okay? Or will I then have a gargantuan job of sorting on my hands? Well, at least I'll have words to sort...
Won't stop for longer - I have words to count.

About Me
- Jenny Beattie
- I moved with my family to Bangkok in July 2005. What do I do? I make hats and costumes; I’ve written articles, a novel and a non-fiction book is underway… I've held a variety of volunteer positions within the expat community. Tea stains is where I write and illustrate the things that consume me: life in Thailand, shop windows, books, cats, making, hats, fascinators, tea and the colour orange.
What am I reading in 2016?
The War of Art by Steven Pressfield
The Trouble with Goats and Sheep by Joanna Cannon
The Year of Taking Chances by Lucy Diamond
Mr Phillips by John Lanchester
Waiting for Sunrise by William Boyd
The Ice Twins by SK Tremayne

Just get your story out. Write! Yes, everything else can be sorted out later. Mine's the same, muddled tenses - one of my characters is written in both 1st and 3rd person narrative. I'll see what sounds best once I've written more and/or the character decides!
Good that you're writing though. Go girl!

Crikey Jen, you're up early. I was on your blog when you commented! We must be pyschic!
Thanks for coming.
JJ

YAY JJ is writing again. Write like the wind and don't worry about teneses or anything else. All can be sorted once the story is free from your brain and on the page!
Damn it,you caught me playing Bejewelled again. I have about 800 words to go to make it to 10,000 and I am DETERMINED... after a break on Bejewelled.
Thanks Liz
Jen, did you notice I didn't come back and entice you out of your working?
800 words is a very attainable goal once you finish the game. Why don't you regard the 800 words as a game too?
Erm.. think the Shreddies had taken over by then!
Really glad your all upbeat again :)
Your 'column' sounds v interesting... can we see it anywhere??

Well, I didn't really manage the write like the wind - more like a piffling, poofling breeze. I didn't, and haven't quite got to the 10K mark. Too much wine at lunch yesterday, which always makes feel feel BLAH the next day. So stupid of me. I should give up drinking, but it's one of life's little delights. I don't do often, but I do tend to not quite know when to stop...
I will keep you posted re column. I may in time, post them on one of my websites, but it's all a bit hush hush, as it's not me, but an alter ego!
Just seen your word count. Go girl! ;-)
