C.E.Altman 🗡️

@JTownHofT That sounds fabulous! Enjoy and most importantly, get some relaxing in!

@CE_Altman Thank you!! Me and some of the other members of my cohort are going to go to the city and might have a nice dinner together followed by karaoke!

TOMORROW, 1 DAY, till my thesis, submission - my novella and research exegesis not into the world yet, but up for grading 🥲

@JTownHofT Thank yooouuu!! So close yet so far haha

@CE_Altman Heck yeah, you're gonna absolutely crush it!! 💪💖

@JTownHofT Yay that's so exciting! It's always really nice to get good feedback like that from your supervisor 🥳

@CE_Altman Thank you! Real chuffed with where I'm at given the deadline - my supervisor says it's a great spot to be in!! 😄💪

3 WEEKS,, 21 DAYS, UNTIL THIS THESIS FOR MY HONOURS YEAR IS DUE,,,

@itsquinnli THANK YOU ✨✨

@CE_Altman DONE

ITS BEEN CREATED!! If you are a writer based in Australia, LET ME KNOW! And I will add you to our cool group

@Elbow_Jumper @LLlewtnac @AnnaSMcEvoy @LombardEmma A writing roadtrip! Now thats brilliant idea! I have a new travel goal for my list

It's been super fun meeting so many fellow Aussie writers recently through the #AusWrites prompts! Looking forward to the next ones 😁 In the spirit of things, here's a question: if you could travel anywhere in Australia for writing related reasons, where would you go and why?

@DebHannagan Same! I've been a few times and I can't wait to go again! It would be nice to explore outside of Hobart

@tanner_lian I think I need to find a writing related reason for all my travels! If only that would make them tax deductible 😂

@HuntingSunrise That sounds either very tranquil or spooky, depending on the type of WIP you are writing 😅

@CE_Altman I need a homestead, in a clearing, in the scrub, which gets frost on it in the morning during winter. It’s the setting for my next WIP.

@ElisesWritings Ahh yes, those pesky pay jobs and bills... I imagine many of us would get much more writing done if we didn't have to deal with pesky things like those!

@AletheaKinsela Haha I can imagine this would be very beneficial to your writing productivity? 😋

@CE_Altman Honestly, anywhere that my kids are *not* is perfect for me 🤣

@ramsdale_c Same! I am done with having to rug up in three layers every day haha At least the days are starting to get a bit longer 🌞

@CE_Altman Somewhere warm 🤣 maybe a Brooke resort 😍 im over the cold Melbourne winters

@lylyee That sounds amazing! Love me some good mega-fauna 🌿

@CE_Altman Ooooh! This is a good question. I’ve actually just moved nearby but I would like to spend some more time in Naracoorte because of the mega-fauna fossils (I’m writing a YA with magical mega-fauna).

@VyCatto Thank you! I've got a hard deadline for my dissertation at least, just gotta survive until then 😂

@CE_Altman It's hard when you've got 2 big projects pulling at you! Good luck 🍀

@ramsdale_c Yes!! I just need a motivational poster but instead of a kitten hanging off a branch, it's a word doc with "The End" typed on it... With the caption: This could be you!

@CE_Altman Then better get at it!!

@millienankivell One of the best defences of a weird search history: I'm an author 🤣

@CE_Altman Same!!! 🤣 If something incriminating ever occurs to someone I’m close to …

Today’s writing related thoughts: • Learn the rules of writing & storytelling, not so you can follow them, but so you can effectively break them • Write your story even if you think it’s crap. Your story matters • Keep learning, keep practising • Hide your research folder 😅
