Good morning!! Today is going to be a busy day for me, and until the SO goes to work, I may not get any time to write. Which is a sad day, but a necessary part of the balance of life. I write much better in the mornings than I do in the afternoons or … Continue reading The Writing Maverick #ROW80

Oh boy…#WIPpetWednesday
So I'm trying to get back into this whole writing thing. I can come up with excuse after excuse for why I haven't been writing, but it was really my own laziness, I think. That and stress. Anyway, my goal is to write 50k words toward this new super secret (ha!) novel I'm working on … Continue reading Oh boy…#WIPpetWednesday
Ch-ch-ch-changes! #ROW80
So I'm making some changes to my goal list for this round, mostly because I finished my book and have other things to focus on. Also, my computer will be in the shop for the next two weeks or so, meaning the audio recording is not going to happen this round at all. I just … Continue reading Ch-ch-ch-changes! #ROW80
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
#ROW80 update — Almost done!
Hello all! My in laws are in town this weekend, so I'm going to make it quick. I have been writing! If I stick with my plan, I'll finish this piece on Feb 8th or around then, which is just before I leave for a whole week to go to a conference. So here's my … Continue reading #ROW80 update — Almost done!
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
Just another update #ROW80
I haven't had the greatest weekend. It was the first time in a while that I woke up yesterday, stared at my computer and actually decided not to write. I just couldn't find the head space to do it. There has been loads of drama and conflict going on at work since Friday morning, and … Continue reading Just another update #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
Time and time again #ROW80
I finally got days off. Friday was my first day off since January 3rd, and I took it and ran with it. It felt soon good. Now I'm sitting here on Sunday morning kind of wishing I had just one more day off to finish resting up before head off to work, but alas, it's … Continue reading Time and time again #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 quick update on a busy weekend #ROW80
Hey all! My weekend went from semi-busy to crazy busy in the span of about 4 hours. Friday I was supposed to have a half day off, usually it's a full day off, but I ended up driving four hours to Wichita and 4 hours home. Saturday I had a funeral, and today I have … Continue reading A quick update on a busy weekend #ROW80
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
Goals for the first round of the year! #ROW80
Well, it's the start of a new round, meaning I have to make some goals up. I certainly should have been thinking about this a lot sooner than just last night and this morning. So I guess that means my goals are likely to change. 1. write 1667 words a day I really liked this … Continue reading Goals for the first round of the year! #ROW80
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
It’s that time of year #ROW80
It's that time of year when things all get smashed together in a short period of time. Happy things and sad things. Death and dying are oh so prominent throughout the holiday season. I just got off the phone with the funeral director of the funeral home in this tiny little town (he runs about … Continue reading It’s that time of year #ROW80
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
Counting down the days #ROW80
Well, I'm certainly counting down the days! To so many things. I've received kind of a scheduling of releases for 2015, and I have to say, I'm going to be one busy chicklet. But I'm crazy excited about it, too. Every year I have a goal of publishing 2-3 novels, and I'm certainly hitting that … Continue reading Counting down the days #ROW80
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
The game of life #ROW80 update
Ahhh. It's Sunday morning, and I'm finally doing my Sunday ROW80 update post, for the first time in two weeks! Life got in the way, but that's the game of it I think. I'm getting back on track slowly, but it's still all a work in progress. Which, I do believe, is yet another point … Continue reading The game of life #ROW80 update
Progress is progress, and now to play catch up
I'm making this quick and simple today. 1. Write 1667 words a day. I've been keeping up with this for the most part. I don't have exact counts because it's a co-written piece and all in one document. But...I've been writing about 2500 words a day on it, and my co-writer has been writing 1500-3000 … Continue reading Progress is progress, and now to play catch up
