I've been working on this novel for a week or so now. I thought it was crime/mystery at first. I realized the other day, it most definitely is not. It is a psychological thriller through and through. I even looked up a definition of it and sent it to my spouse going this, this, this, … Continue reading Partners in Fighting Crime #WIPpetWednesday #Snippet #WIP #Excerpt

A Mission and a Risk #WIPpetWednesday
And here we are at ANOTHER WIPpet Wednesday. So excited to be here. =P I'm sharing from a book titled De-Termination, which is the second Quarter Life book. I published Unbound in 2015! That seems like so flipping long ago, it's hard to imagine. I didn't realize it had been that long. This book has … Continue reading A Mission and a Risk #WIPpetWednesday
A small excerpt for a #WIPpetWednesday
I asked on Facebook this week if anyone was even participating in WIPpet anymore. I have no idea. Those who I knew who were doing it, aren't anymore. But I miss it so much. I thought I'd share a little from what I have been writing this whole month. This is from Learning Love which … Continue reading A small excerpt for a #WIPpetWednesday
Back for some WIPpet Wednesday #WIPpetWednesday #amwriting
Oh if only I remember clearly how to do this and where the links are and everything! It has been so long since I've been apart of WIPpet, and I sorely miss it. I've decided to post from this scifi tentacle thing I started writing the other day. I've only made it 2000 words into it. … Continue reading Back for some WIPpet Wednesday #WIPpetWednesday #amwriting
*cracks whip* WIPetty WIPetty WIPetty #WIPpetWednesday
Good morning!! I'm back for a second week in a row. That's like a record or something. I did finish NaNo on the 14th. And since my in-laws canceled Thanksgiving with us, I now have the opportunity to finish writing the book this month. 3.5 chapters and an epilogue left to go. w00t! then I … Continue reading *cracks whip* WIPetty WIPetty WIPetty #WIPpetWednesday
Pssst did someone say #WIPpetWednesday?
Hey all. I know, I know. I haven't been around. But I'm working on that. I have at least been writing, this month. I haven't been writing much in general. This pregnancy thing really threw me for an unexpected loop. Anyway. I am writing. I'm writing something totally and completely new. It's called OBlique. It's … Continue reading Pssst did someone say #WIPpetWednesday?
Back to Camping! #WIPpetWednesday #ghoststories
Hey all, So I decided to go back to camping. I need to get writing again, and I'm hoping this will help with my motivation. What this means is we're back to the ghost story novella I started working on months and months ago. If you don't remember, or weren't around then, Kay is a … Continue reading Back to Camping! #WIPpetWednesday #ghoststories
*waves* It’s #WIPpet Wednesday! And I’m back!
So it's certainly been awhile, but I'm slowly getting back on the band wagon. I spent the summer traveling and sick (more on that later), but I'm getting back on my feet, so long as people stop dying around here and I stop presiding at funerals. I'm running low on time this morning, but I'll … Continue reading *waves* It’s #WIPpet Wednesday! And I’m back!
Campfire #Wippetwednesday #WIPpet #Ghoststories
I love ghost stories! I really do. Used to read them all the time as a kid. I almost didn't post today. You see, this week is my birthday week, and tomorrow we're heading out of town to go see Wicked in Denver. I'm crazy excited. I'll be out of town, Thursday and Friday for … Continue reading Campfire #Wippetwednesday #WIPpet #Ghoststories
The story continues… #ROW80 and #WIPpetWednesday
As you can see below, I haven't done much, and I'm heading in a very busy month for me. I'm hoping I get something done this week before I start driving around the entire middle part of our country it seems. I'm pretty sure I'll be putting close to 3k miles on my car in … Continue reading The story continues… #ROW80 and #WIPpetWednesday
Secrets Unbidden #ROW80 & #WIPpetWednesday
Morning! I can hear the birds chirping outside. It's been my morning wake up for the last week or so. That means spring is officially 100% here if the birds are back. Such an amazing change to see. My wrist has been hurting a whole lot the past few days, meaning I've been walking around … Continue reading Secrets Unbidden #ROW80 & #WIPpetWednesday
One month and ten days #WIPpetWednesday
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
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
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
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
