Hey all! It's been awhile since I've joined up. Basically a month. And boy did I need it. I haven't posted on my blog in a month at all, and I needed the break. I was posting almost every single day for something, and trust me, while it's fun, it's hard to keep up with … Continue reading One month and ten days #WIPpetWednesday
WIPpet Wednesdays
On Fire!!! #ROW80 & #WIPpetWednesday
Well, it's Wednesday. That means I get to post a ROW80 update and a WIPpet update. I woke up this morning with a killer sore throat. I guess I'm not as over this cold thing as I thought I was. February has started, and February at my day job is INSANE! Not because it's the … Continue reading On Fire!!! #ROW80 & #WIPpetWednesday
Funny Money #WIPpetWednesday and #ROW80
I really must apologize for not visiting anyone last week. Between having a crappy weekend and then dealing and fighting with depression and illness, it wasn't possible. Hopefully most of that is over now, or at least will be over by the end of today. I'm going to try and make up for the days … Continue reading Funny Money #WIPpetWednesday and #ROW80
Dog Chases #row80 and #WIPpet
I've been doing a lot of writing so far this week. It's been so relaxing and awesome. Grace through Redemption had started the beta reading process and I got the prologue back last night. w00t! I hope the novel will be done soon. Unfortunately my brand new barely a month old computer has been crashing. … Continue reading Dog Chases #row80 and #WIPpet
A promotion opportunity… #ROW80 and #WIPpetWednesday
Good morning, world! As my crazy week continues into day eleven of no time off, I've decided to take half days. Meaning, I'm home by noon and napping by three and awake again by five. It kills any extra writing time I would get in the afternoons, but three hour naps are often awesome. Then … Continue reading A promotion opportunity… #ROW80 and #WIPpetWednesday
A few days down, a ton more to go. #ROW80 & #WIPpetWednesday
Good morning all! I'm excited to report that it's the start of a new year and the start of a new round of ROW80, as if you didn't already know that. A few days ago, Sunday I think, I started writing a short story for submission. It wasn't quite going how I had planned it, … Continue reading A few days down, a ton more to go. #ROW80 & #WIPpetWednesday
Christmas Eve isn’t as relaxed as it used to be #ROW80 & #WIPpetWednesday
Christmas Eve isn't a break for me like it used to be. I was just telling the SO the other day that it's a bit weird not having a Christmas break from like when I was in school because I don't really know when everyone is done for the semester. Today is one of my … Continue reading Christmas Eve isn’t as relaxed as it used to be #ROW80 & #WIPpetWednesday
So little to choose from … #ROW80 and #WIPeptWednesday
I haven't been doing much writing lately. I think it's because of my mood and because I'm not quite sure what I want to work on. I've been struggling to schedule my time better these past few weeks, and I fear I've been doing a crappy job at it. I should be done with copy-edits … Continue reading So little to choose from … #ROW80 and #WIPeptWednesday
The Third Level of Editing Hell and finally writing! #ROW80 & #WIPpetWednesday
ROW80! I'm making much more progress than I thought I would, which is really good. 1. Write 1667 words a day. I'm still writing on this co-written thing, and we're over 30k words now. Definitely between the two of us, adding about 2k words a day to it. I know I wrote 2k of that … Continue reading The Third Level of Editing Hell and finally writing! #ROW80 & #WIPpetWednesday
Failures and Successes #WIPpetWednesday & #ROW80
Well here I am on another Wednesday, and this one is filled with failures and with successes. Most of that will come out in my ROW80 post, so I guess I'll do it first. Basically, what happened, was I took too much on at once and something had to give. I was trying to keep … Continue reading Failures and Successes #WIPpetWednesday & #ROW80
A new project… #WIPpetWednesday & #ROW80
Well, since I finished my NaNo novel last Wednesday evening, that means I need a new project. I decided to take a break from writing for a few days and came into a conundrum. I had no idea which book to start working on. I have three books in edits, one of those has a … Continue reading A new project… #WIPpetWednesday & #ROW80
A romance and a request … #WIPpetWednesday & #ROW80
As most of you know by this point, I am writing a romance novel, and I'm hoping to finish the writing of it today. Because GUEST WHAT!? I finished NaNoWriMo on Monday! w00t! w00t! anyway...I've come to a dilemma in this. I usually use one person for beta reading, but well, I'm overtaxing her. My … Continue reading A romance and a request … #WIPpetWednesday & #ROW80
Decisions…decisions #ROW80 & #WIPpetWednesday
I'm struggling with decisions today. I don't know which WIPpet to share with you all. I have two going right now in the writing life, and two going right now in the editing life. And my NaNoWriMo project is supposed to be super secret, so I'm not sure I want to share from it. While … Continue reading Decisions…decisions #ROW80 & #WIPpetWednesday
Such a travesty … #WIPpetWednesday & #ROW80
So I haven't really written since last Saturday--like at all. I've been busy with an assembly, with church stuffs and with working my regular job, and just with being plain exhausted. I'm hoping to change the outcome of this since I went to be around ten last night but only the rest of today will … Continue reading Such a travesty … #WIPpetWednesday & #ROW80
Big Bird Mania #WIPpetWednesday #ROW80
Hey all! So I've taken it pretty easy this past weekend. After finding out a friend died on Friday morning and finishing my novel that same day, I really just needed a break from life in general, so I took it easy. I didn't write for two whole days! *gasp* I know! That never happens! … Continue reading Big Bird Mania #WIPpetWednesday #ROW80

To cut to the chase. I've been writing a lot lately. I haven't quite managed to write every day, but I … Continue reading Disgust in One’s self #WIPpetWednesday
WIPpeting and ROW80ing #WIPpet #ROW80
First, let me apologize to my WIPpeteers for not making it to anyone's post last week. So NOT my norm. Second, let me apologize to my ROW80ers for not posting on Sunday.
