This has been a crazy hard month for us, started really end of January, and it's looking to continue to be another rough month. My spouse was fired, we're switching kids' daycare because of abuse issues, I've been sick with some cold, stomach bug through the house, COVID scare...it never ends. That's legit just the … Continue reading #ROW80 update and progress on goals

ROW80 Update #ROW80
Good morning! I've been working hard (kind of). I've actually been resting a lot too. I had surgery last week, and recovery has been slow. Here's my mid-week update on what I've been doing. For marketing, I'm learning about Amazon Ads, I'm looking at blog tours and a release event for De-Termination which is coming … Continue reading ROW80 Update #ROW80
Break time is OVER! #amwriting #update
Hey all! I know! It's been forever! These past few months I've been in and out of the house, gone for weeks at a time. It's been hard to keep up with stuff. That and not feeling well (more about that later in a separate post) doesn't make productivity high. So, since I've been gone, … Continue reading Break time is OVER! #amwriting #update
trying to keep up #ROW80
Well...I'm back!!! I've got a lot going on in general, but it always seems to pile up. This week the SO was home for 4 days straight, which seriously cramped my style in writing a bit. Yesterday I drove about an hour to meet another awesome writer whom I've connected with online, and it felt … Continue reading trying to keep up #ROW80
#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!
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
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 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
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
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 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
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 day of rest #ROW80
On Monday I finished NaNoWriMo. On Wednesday I finished the novel. *sigh* I wrote that whole book in 14 days, which is something I have done before but I haven't done it in a long time. I usually prefer to let it drag out a bit more. For some reason, the novel just wanted to … Continue reading A day of rest #ROW80
The real thing… #ROW80
Good morning all! It's early, and it's Sunday, and it's daylight savings over here in the US and oh my is it earlier than I wanted it to be. I have some great news! I started writing a new novel last week based on something I would never ever write or really want to write, … Continue reading The real thing… #ROW80
Sunday Morning! #ROW80
Good morning all! I wanted to get this done before I went to church this morning and lost half my day away. I was gone over this weekend at a church assembly, which was awesome, but it also means I didn't write on Saturday. Here's to hoping I can make up some of the word … Continue reading Sunday Morning! #ROW80
Beaten, bruised and run over…what else? #WIPpet &#ROW80
Hi there!! We're in a new round of ROW80, meaning I have new goals that I will hopefully accomplish during this round. Goal 1: Write 1667 words a day and pretend it's really NaNo. Monday -- 4729 words Tuesday -- 2308 Goal 2: Actually update on Sundays and Wednesdays. Ummm...this post! Goal 3: Edit one … Continue reading Beaten, bruised and run over…what else? #WIPpet &#ROW80
A New WIPpet! #WIPpetWednesday and #ROW80 update
Well...I finished my novel! Yay! So that means I'm editing it, so still technically a WIP, but I'm going to start posting from Emma again. I finally have a title for it, not sure if I ever shared that. This novel has about 34,000 words written and I think it'll end up being around 90,000 … Continue reading A New WIPpet! #WIPpetWednesday and #ROW80 update
Waiting on the times… a #ROW80 update
It's been a very busy week and very busy weekend for me. I work Sunday mornings, so my weekends are Friday and Saturday. Friday we launched a new LGBT et al blog I'm a part of as admin. We had an all day event going on from giveaways galore to takeovers galore on our Facebook … Continue reading Waiting on the times… a #ROW80 update
An update and a hope! #ROW80
Hello all! Here I am on a Sunday morning typing up a post. Usually I do these on Saturday because my Sunday mornings are insane (preacher and all). Anyway, here's my quick and handy update. 1. Fallen from Grace: write 1 chapter a week (moving week excluded) -- I wrote chapter 14 this week, … Continue reading An update and a hope! #ROW80
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
