I hope everyone’s had a suitably relaxing series of sun-soaked days at this point, full of BBQs, fireworks and toe-tickling sandy beaches. I think many people took some time off of work this week…I didn’t. I’m smack between two major releases for a survey I coordinate at the day job, and worked my tail off […]

Final ROW80 Update for Spring 2013
It’s already time to sum up my spring progress as the Round of Words in 80 Days challenge wraps up the spring round. Here were my goals for April through June: 1) Revise and publish Flight, the third Children of the Sidhe novella 2) Write an average of 500 words per day on the second […]
Sunday Update: Re-balancing My Priorities
My last update was titled “Juggler is an Apt Description.” So of course now I have little to report. That doesn’t mean I dropped all the balls, but they seem to be hovering in an anti-gravity zone where not much occurs. Instead of 1,000 words a day, I’ve written about 1,500 words all week. But […]
Mid-Week Update: Juggler Is an Apt Description
It’s been about ten days since I updated on my writing progress. After a very slow start last week, with just 600 words accomplished between Monday and Thursday, I went crazy on my novel Chaos Calling last weekend. My folks took the kids overnight on Friday, so I had some time on my hands. I […]
Sunday Update: Back in the Groove
Yay! I’m finally hitting my stride on Chaos Calling again. I reworked my outline Friday night, and I’ve written 1,700 words so far this weekend. That’s pretty cool since I’ve had zero dedicated writing time. Just the iPad waiting for me on the dining room table, at the center of the domestic storm. I wrote […]
Mid-Week Update: Flight Revisions Done!
*Happy dance!!!* I will send Flight to my critique partner tonight! I can’t wait to see what she says about it…she’s going to give me tons of great notes, I just know it. Until then, don’t think I’m going to pause or anything. 🙂 I dug back into Chaos Calling over Mother’s Day weekend, after […]
Sunday Update: LOTS Going On!
Hello again. I can’t believe it’s another Sunday. No idea how long I have to type before the kids bust in on me, so I’ll get right to it. I feel like I’m split between a bunch of fronts right now. It doesn’t help that work is absorbing a lot of my energy, too. We’re […]
Round of Words Goals Post: Spring 2013
I can’t believe the time has come to write another goals post for A Round of Words in 80 Days, the writing challenge that knows you have a life. I’m even a day late. 🙂 I’m thinking no one will mind if I post this to the update linky. If you’re truly looking for an […]
Sunday Update: Baby Steps
That seems an appropriate summation of what I’ve accomplished writing-wise this week. I only wrote on two days, getting in 700 words on the fairytale I’m writing on Tuesday, and then 600 on the second Foulweather Twins novel on Thursday. So that’s not much writing. But it comes after two weeks of exceeding my goals. […]
Is It Spring Yet?
Spring is right around the corner. I keep feeling hints of it in the air. We’ve had two blessed Saturdays in a row where the weather was about sixty degrees and sunny. It feels magical after so many long weeks inside. My creativity seems to be bursting forth like snowmelt feeding a river. I’m making […]
