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

Disgust in One’s self #WIPpetWednesday

The troll under the bridge… #WIPpetWednesday
Hello all! It's been 4 weeks since I've posted last! Insanity, I say! Well, I'm back and I'm ready to post. It's also been awhile since I've written.

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.

The Seventh Commandment — WIPpet Wednesday in style
If there's one thing I've learned about this novel series, it's that people really like Peter. Peter is a bit troubled, but he has a great sense of innocence about him! He's seen a lot in his short life, but he's a character. The chapter I've been working on has Peter in it. And I … Continue reading The Seventh Commandment — WIPpet Wednesday in style
Circus Act #WIPpet Wednesday and a #ROW80 update
A ROW80 update first. 1. Fallen from Grace: write 1 chapter a week (moving week excluded) -- I haven't finished the chapter yet, but I am making progress.

It was planned that way and was the same way … Continue reading Circus Act #WIPpet Wednesday and a #ROW80 update
#WIPpet Wednesday and a #ROW80 update
I'm clearly creative in coming up with blog titles. =P I'm finally getting settled into the house in Kansas, well as much as I can get settled. They're renovating half of the house, everything upstairs, so I'm living in the basement. Makes it very interesting. I haven't had plumbing to a toilet in two days! … Continue reading #WIPpet Wednesday and a #ROW80 update
So excited! I just can’t hide it! #WIPpet & #ROW80 update
So I'm writing this post on Monday because I'm so damn excited and I can't wait to share. I actually did some massive writing last night.

WIPpet Wednesday…. a WIP that’s….not really a WIP =P
I might be breaking the rules a bit, but I don't want to give you the tentacle erotica at all. So ... I'm going to give you a bit more from the sci-fi short I gave you last week. I just submitted it on Sunday, so here's to hoping I hear back soon. *crosses fingers* … Continue reading WIPpet Wednesday…. a WIP that’s….not really a WIP =P
A brand new WIPpet for a …. month that’s just ending?
I've actually be doing some writing lately! It's been so nice to be writing and NOT editing. w00t! However, I'm still not writing on what I should be writing, which is Fallen from Grace. I'll take that on as soon as I finish either this current short or...maybe two more. Ashes Fall is officially with … Continue reading A brand new WIPpet for a …. month that’s just ending?

WIPpet Wednesday May 14, 2014
I was having a really hard time deciding whether or not to post a blurb or an excerpt from a short story I wrote this week. I decided to go with the short story. This story isn't quite a stand-alone. I've had it in my head to write outtakes for For by Grace from Amya's … Continue reading WIPpet Wednesday May 14, 2014
