ROW80 Round 1: The End!
I can’t believe Round 1 is at an end! Crazy how time flies. For those of you who haven’t heard of Round of Words in 80 Days, it’s a writing challenge where writers set their own measurable goals four times a year, and cheer each other on while we reach for them. Over the last […]
Sunday Update: Finally Getting Somewhere
Well, I don’t know if it’s the panic from knowing these are the last days of ROW80’s Round 1, or what, but I’ve been productive this week! I’m tying together the threads of my story in the last handful of scenes. It’s exciting territory, and devouring a large part of my attention in recent days. […]

I’ll quit complaining. Especially since that isn’t the reason I have about zero progress to report since last Sunday. I’m not […]

Sunday Update: Where Are the Words?
Not much got done this week in terms of writing goals. I wrote about 500 words on Tuesday, and did some more fiddling with my outline for the end of this novella. Gulp. It’s March and I still need to write a quarter of it. Which means it might be June before I get this […]

Sunday Update: Story Excitement & Spring Calling
