A Literary Walk Around Stratford-Upon-Avon

by Eva, in category Literary Walk, Places

This is a walk around Stratford-upon-Avon that starts and ends at the railway station, and will take you about 2 hours to complete (without factoring in sight-seeing and refreshments). It’s best if you have a digital or paper map of the town on hand to refer to.

writing journal: bath (part 2)

by Eva, in category Another Writer's Diary, Places

More perfect weather and charming tea-rooms. I have been rambling, putting together another literary walk; hardly difficult as there are few streets in the centre of Bath that haven’t been graced by at least one eminent scrivener. Unfortunately, the novelty makes it all too difficult to novel, which is why I’m leaving before November, half-envious… Read More

writing journal: bath (part 1)

by Eva, in category Another Writer's Diary, Places

I wonder how Tennyson would have described the sight of a cloudless England from 20,000 feet; the shallow land, the molten silver inlets and rivulets, the tips of turning trees and the neatly enclosed patches of green. What would he have seen? How would he have assimilated it into the social consciousness? I watched the… Read More

Weekend Welcome

by Eva, in category Another Writer's Diary, Places

A sunny weekend visit to Attingham Park furnished me with much inspiration – marble statues, curious clocks, intricate mythologies, a verdant aspidistra, mechanisms and bees and anecdotes. These old houses are full of stories waiting to be (re)told by bored writers. The ornamentation of the interior is mirrored by the wonderful profusion of the grounds.… Read More

📚 I created some traveller’s notebook inserts 📚 I created some traveller’s notebook inserts for myself a while back, and I thought I’d share them with you. You can download them in the Coterie on my website. There are 7 pages and a couple of liners for the reverse that are wider in order to account for printer movements. 
✍🏻✨ I’m doing research for a mini course on writing magic. Does that sound like something you would be interested in? 😊

'You have the scene arrange itself — as it will 'You have the scene arrange itself — as it will seem to do— 
With "I have saved this afternoon for you"; 
And four wax candles in the darkened room, 
Four rings of light upon the ceiling overhead, 
An atmosphere of Juliet's tomb 
Prepared for all the things to be said, or left unsaid.'
A writing session on a rather dismal day... But there is coffee, and leftover chocolates.

Thank you for your interest in 𝕭𝖑𝖆𝖈𝖐 𝕲𝖗𝖆𝖒𝖒𝖆𝖗 — it’s been so motivating!
I stole the idea for the opening of my novel from Marie Corelli’s 𝘈𝘳𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘩. It all begins with an avalanche…
Rather apt, especially when I remember that I thought 𝕭𝖑𝖆𝖈𝖐 𝕲𝖗𝖆𝖒𝖒𝖆𝖗 would grow into no more than a short story.
I’m now past the 50K mark. I think I have another 18-20K to type up, and I’m aiming for a final MS of 90-100K. 
I’ve posted the first few paragraphs in my story highlight, if you’d like to read it.

✍🏻 Tips for handwriting your novel: 1. Take ✍🏻 Tips for handwriting your novel:
1. Take a photo of complete pages after each writing session.
2. Back up your photos - the easiest way is to sync them to the cloud.
3. Type from your photos in split screen, rather than trying to prop your MS open next to you.
4. Avoid the urge to edit as you transcribe. 
Several of you asked about my workflow, so I thought I’d share. I’m afraid there’s no magic app that will convert cursive into computer text… yet! 😊✨
I use iCloud to backup my photos, so that when I take a photograph of my notebook using my iPhone, the photos get synced to my iPad and I can open them in split screen alongside Scrivener in order to type them up. If iPad had horizontal split screen, it would be a lot more convenient, but alas. ☹️
If you take some care when you’re photographing your handwritten pages — decent lighting, a steady hand, good resolution, etc. — then you will also have a digital backup of your manuscript that you can reproduce if you (heaven forbid) lose your original, or spill coffee on it!
Transcribing certainly takes time, but I find it a useful way to reconnect with parts of the story that I wrote a long time ago. 🖤

Typing up a novel takes a surprisingly long time. Typing up a novel takes a surprisingly long time.
Especially when you get distracted by arranging your desk. 🤔☕️
