We’re getting spring fever ’round here! March is days away, the weather has been very spring-like and everyone is getting a little excited to know that winter is behind us, mild and snow-less as it was! What does this do for your writing? Are you hitting a new stride or distracted by the weather, the birds,…
This meme about sums it up for me! 🙂 I’m writing…some. As to the editing…I see the stack of papers by my writing chair. There are betas lined up to read the first chapters. I’m going to work on it tonight. Definitely tonight. 😉  *** What’s happening in your writing life? Find a meme or make your own. Post…
I don’t know if I feel accomplished or annoyed… I managed to get closer to my usual routine for writing, blogging and posting! And yet the darn short story I wanted to write, the one that is running around in my brain, under development, has not yet made it onto the page. Some days you…
I am going to do it. It is going to happen. The words will find their way onto the page. I wouldn’t say I have writer’s block…more like pregnancy-fog and mom-brain. I hit this point with my last pregnancy where my creativity came to a grinding halt. I knew it was in there, bubbling under…
Me, when the deadline for the NYC Midnight Short Story Challenge is approaching but you still have to write the synopsis. Still waiting for inspiration. Hoping the words will appear on the screen. Marveling at how the word “synopsis” looks funny after staring at it for five minutes. Forcing some words onto the page. Deleting them…
My answer is not actually up there…today I’m writing secretively! Today I’m teaching an all day class, so will have to limit my writing to during video clips, possibly the lunch break and after the class ends (but before an evening instructor meeting). I hope the rest of the week holds more writing time for…
Big Dude is back in school, and it’s time to get back to serious work. This inevitably means I’ll put Little Man down for a nap, race around doing laundry, picking up and prepping dinner. Then, with great relief, settle in front of the computer to write. And stare at the screen. C’mon, words! Flow…
So! We’re into week two of winter break, and I’d love to check out to my office for a few hours to write. But there are little people in my house who demand things. Like food. And help building Legos. So writing will happen in the snippets of the day when Little Man naps and…
Well, I don’t actually know my final word count, but I passed my goal (15k) last week on Monday. Yay! AND I did it without becoming a crazed, word-anti-smithing fool, hauled off by the NaNo Emergency Squad (or shipped off by hubby)! My bigger goal, establishing a daily habit of at least 500 words, is…
Another bright and cheery NaNoWriMo-Monday-morning to ya! It’s the last one! The end is nigh. Yay, I have/will hit my 50k! (Or: Curses! Not this year.) I’m in the latter group. That being said, 50k was not my goal. I’m nearing the respectable 15k that I aimed to achieve and am finding my new…
