I took my own advice, and got out of town. We spent the weekend in Central Oregon. (Over the mountains and through the woods to Grandma’s house we go!) Sunday night I even got to indulge in a kids-free cabin, a crackling fire, and time with my honey. I also got in some quality time […]

Sunday Update: ROWers Take Care, and Take Heart
I did a bit of a disappearing act these last couple of weeks. It’s been hard to fit in anything but the essentials in life, and I’ve been admitting that and getting the rest I need to stay healthy instead of pushing all hours to get writing done. I got a few hundred words in […]
Quick Sunday Update
Howdy, fellow ROWers. I hope you all had a more successful week than I did. Sick kids and craziness at work sapped my energy. But I won’t waste your time with whining about what went wrong. The truth is, when I did sit down to write the next part of Flight, I found an issue […]
Round of Words Wrap Up
We’ve reached the end of another Round of the Round of Words in 80 Days writing challenge — the challenge that knows you have a life. I’ve made more writing friends and continue to be impressed by the cumulative production of this group of writers. Telling others about our goals and then supporting each other […]
Round of Words Update: 12 Days of Christmas
We’ve reached that glorious season, where Christmas music spurs us on to greater shopping, baking, get-togethering heights! I hope your season has been magical so far, and will continue to be so. We got our tree this morning, so the rest of the day we’ll be decorating, and going in for a family photo. So […]
Round of Words Update: December!
Hi, everyone! I need to write a quick update today, because I have a lot of writer business to get to, as well as a Sunday at home to enjoy with my family. 🙂 We’re now less than a week away from the beginning of the 12 Days of Christmas Reading promotion hosted by Nadja […]
Round of Words Update – Vessel Published!
I accomplished one of my ROW80 goals yesterday, with the publication of my second paranormal romance novella, Vessel. Fun times! It was a nice day around the house, me hustling around between publishing and the major football event of the year, Oregon’s Civil War between Oregon State (go Beavs!) and University of Oregon (damn Ducks). […]
Wrapping Up Revisions on Vessel
In terms of word count this week, I have a big zero to report. Actually I think I snuck in 150 words one night before one of my kids needed something, and then I never got back to it. However, I squeezed in tons of time with the paranormal romance novella I plan to publish […]
The Break Pays Off With Breakthroughs
It took me a while to decide on a title for this post, but I think this one does it justice. The ten day break between rounds paid off for me this week. I didn’t write at all during the week, but did complete revisions on the first three chapters of Vessel. I also managed a ton […]
Round of Words: Accomplishments
I accomplished a lot during this round of Round Of Words in 80 Days — the writing challenge that knows you have a life. And I sure do. 🙂 So, I’m focusing on the positive. I’m a lot further along than I was at the beginning of July, and I’ve learned tons of new tricks […]
