Grant year: writing Skin Deep

This year I was lucky enough to receive an Australia Council New Work grant to work on my novel, Skin Deep. Here's how my year panned out...

  1. January

  2. Now that grant year has begun, I'm planning to document the process to some extent. I think it will be useful to myself, and also will come in handy at the end of the year, when I've got an acquittal to hand in.

    About to start #skindeep, my new novel. 'Start' as in type words, some of which may actually survive 2 final draft. Wish me luck! #grantyear

    I'm going to see how many words I can add to #skindeep in the next 30min. Pretty tired tonight. #grantyear #amwriting

    @Cacotopos Re: #skindeep. Yeah, it may end up as a working title. I'll worry about that when (note the optimism) I find a publisher. :)

    Can anyone recommend a protective sigil someone might get tattooed on themselves if they feared harm #skindeep #research #witchcraft

    Another thousand words. This is insanely rewarding. Hope I can keep up the momentum. #amwriting #skindeep #grantyear

    @Cacotopos Re: spell tattoos. Yes, I did, thank you. Went for something of African origin. #skindeep

    @blackvalo Yes. Davin seemed maybe slightly bemused by #skindeep's premise, but is willing to help me out.

    Any GPs out there? What initial tests would you do if you suspected patient was having 'black outs'/short-term mem loss #research #skindeep

    And then, would you refer them for CT scan? Refer them for counselling if exhibiting irrational behaviour? #research #skindeep
