It is 2021, and I'm so glad we've started a new year. I love making goals, and setting out a plan to achieve those goals. This post is going to be two-fold for me. I have year long goals, but I'm also making goals for just this round of ROW80. Here we go. 2021 Goals … Continue reading Round 1 of #ROW80 for 2021

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
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
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
Progress has been made! #ROW80
I've been making lots of progress on my writing despite this being the week from hell. I worked 12-15 hour days starting with last week Sunday and going all through Friday. Saturday was luckily only a 6 hour day, but man am I exhausted after that. That doesn't include any writing time. However, thanks to … Continue reading Progress has been made! #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
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
How it all started #amwriting
Welcome to this week’s extra post! It’s one from me! SURPRISE! I wanted to sit down and write today about how I started writing. It’s not exactly something I talk about a lot. People usually ask when, but they don’t ask where, how or why. So I’m here to explain it. I was pretty young … Continue reading How it all started #amwriting
A day of rest #ROW80 update
My weeks, work wise was fairly slow compared to last month. I'm really enjoying it being calm. However, that doesn't necessarily mean I did everything I was supposed to be doing, and Saturday I certainly took a day of rest. I was told (by my publisher no less) that I should take a day off. … Continue reading A day of rest #ROW80 update
The Addition and Subtraction of #ROW80
Well it happened, and it happened a lot more quickly than I thought it would. I didn't write yesterday, at all. I got on the computer in the morning, made up two blog posts for my review blog and one for this blog and then I got off, went and sat on the couch and … Continue reading The Addition and Subtraction of #ROW80
#ROW80 #Round4 goals!!!
Well.........I'm baaaack!! I loved doing ROW80 last round, but I sort of gave up halfway because I finished my goals and life got ahead of me. Now that it's calmed down a little bit and is about to pick up again, I'll be entering into a new round. I plan on doing NaNo in November, … Continue reading #ROW80 #Round4 goals!!!
Open when you miss me… #loveletters #openwhen
It’s very apt that I’m writing this on this particular day. We’ve been married exactly one month today and you are gone for a whole week. I miss you, and I know you miss me. We’ve never had this problem as much now as we did before. Missing you now isn’t like missing you before. … Continue reading Open when you miss me… #loveletters #openwhen
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. Talking with my publisher last night has instilled in me the need to write yet again (although, it might have been instilled before then, but it's going … Continue reading The troll under the bridge… #WIPpetWednesday
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

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. This novel is weird in that I have some really long chapters and some really short chapters. It was planned that way and was the same way … Continue reading Circus Act #WIPpet Wednesday and a #ROW80 update
