welcome ocean! yeah i'm going to miss the toihuarewa bbq stink - i asked paul if he'd send some bbq by delivery but no reply yet haha - yeah i was being sneaky and referring to our initial being 'roa' in the intro blurb to the blog about how we'll write at length - hadn't noticed the 'oar' tho - hoea te waka aye!!
sticker #2
i'm going to award myself a sticker (although maybe it should only be half a sticker if not strictly new stuff?) - i've done lots of work today to clear the path for this chapter - have replied some urgent emails, and gone through the publishing guidelines etc for the chapter (which are in french! talk about slow reading! haha) - and reread what i've written so far and made notes. am all set up for kicking it in the butt tomorrow - so, no 'fresh' writing, but i (and i think paul silvia) would code this as writing-related activity, particularly because i did it specifically in order to get myself ready to write tomorrow, as opposed to just procrastinating) so i think it's going to count in my book! hmm. what you guys reckon?
ps ra - when you hop on and read this, in case you've missed out on paul silvia and his magical book 'how to write a lot' it has been dong the rounds - i think pete has got it at the moment so nick it off him :)

Too true! ROA just sums it right up, somehow I missed the allusion on first read - hmm what other hidden messages have you cleverly embedded in places?! The BBQ was great BTW, Toihuarewa was pretty interesting too :-) The VUW Maori 'microsite' is pretty close to being up and ready so look out for it, with fabulous wahine toa Arini at centre stage of the Flash animation. Kewl!
ReplyDeleteRe 'writing-related activity', definitely agree that going through publishing guidelines and re-reading writing and making notes and plans for how to attack it should count - for at least half a sticker!
