Published on December 31, 2021December 18, 2022 by Tabatha Wood

Just popping by on the last day of the year to leave my final update of 2021 (and also so I can tick off one of last year's goals, to make a blog post every month!)

Published on April 9, 2021April 9, 2021 by Tabatha Wood

Notebooks

Published on April 2, 2021April 2, 2021 by Tabatha Wood

Writing in a new notebook feels like a strange parallel to your life. The first page, of course, will always be the best; the cleanest and neatest, the one with the most promise.

So You Think You Want To Be A Writer?

Published on February 10, 2021February 10, 2021 by Tabatha Wood

A dear friend of mine who has been writing since the 1980s once told me that there are no rules when it comes to writing. "A writer only writes for themselves and does their best to create the books they want to read."

THE WAR ON BLANK-PAGE TERROR: a personal approach to scriptwriting by Jamie Delano

Published on December 4, 2020December 12, 2020 by Tabatha Wood

All writers must confront that blank-page terror. Daily. Unless they’re soulless hacks content to shovel junk food. Feed undiscerning appetites with fast-fiction plotted by committee. At least I assume they do. I speak only from my own experience. - Jamie Delano

Published on November 13, 2019November 13, 2019 by Tabatha Wood

It was a glorious, sunny day in Wellington yesterday. I had planned to spend most of it writing and editing, but common sense told me that I should make the most of the pleasant weather before it changed again. Locals may say, “You can’t beat Welly on a good day,” but equally, you don’t really
