Mumsnet Talk

MNHQ might put this topic back in the topic list if people post here to say they want it, any creative writers around tonight?

bump!

bump, come on I know you are out there....

Me me me. I need all the encouragement I can get. I am queen of the procrastinators.

Me too.
HELP ME!!!

I don't remember the Creative Writing club but am a dabbler, so am interested!

Goober, what are you writing?

I have been working on my first novel, but recently lost my mum and it has put a stop to it. I need to get started again. She wanted me to finish it.

I am really sorry to hear about your mum. I'm sure it is hard to focus the mind after something like that. Just think of that dedication in the front of the book. When I feel low on confidence and energy, I always think about who I will dedicate my first novel too.

And me!

goober

good to see so many, there must be more out there?!

This sounds interesting - I am not a writer but keen reader. Will you be posting what you are writing. I will definately follow that!!!!

I didn't need to say "I am not a writer" The use of a . instead of a ? Said it all. He he he!

On a serious note - Goober - I am sending a big cloud with special raindrops to rain on you. These raindrops are special because they are filled not with water but with many sympathetic thoughts and strength!

If you are a writer, you should write, I think it could help and it would be a pleasure to read your work - if you would be so kind as to post some!

Thanks all. I will find my Mojo again.

so.... are you going to post some work then. I have my reading glasses on ready!!!

yes please... we need this ! ... or i do!

me too, anyone actually writing daily here? I'm at a 'it's September I'm going to do it this time' stage yet again. Am trying to just write 300 words a day on any subject until inspiration strikes!!!!!!!!!

Ooh yes! Count me in!

Ooh yes! Count me in!

Count me in too! Have just started what will hopefully become my first novel.

psychobabble - I am quite new to mn. What happens on this thread normally - do you post your work for us to read?

alittleteapot - I wondered when our paths would cross!!??!! - I think our names are different enough and I am cool... but not being that experienced with mn I just wanted to check - do you mind that we both have 'tea' in our names or do you want me to change names?

hi teafortwo - not at all. the more tea the merrier - in my house anyway.

Same here - I am enjoying a nice Marrakech mint tea as we type!!

Great stuff!!! Hey, I'm telling you, the things us women worry about!!! [demands a rolls eyes at self smiley]

That sounds lovely. I've just been told on another thread I have to give up tea so maybe I should try your minty one!

And yes, worrying should really be introduced as an Olympic sport in 2012.

PS: isn't a creative writing thread on mumsnet a bit pointless? Won't we just end up chatting in class? Loving the idea though...
