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 […]

Quick Update
The words are really flowing this week. I’m looking for any opportunity to write, and it shows. Sunday: 900 words on my main WIP, and 500 on my “just for fun” project.Monday: 600 words on the “just for fun” project. I know I’m cheating, but Mondays are tough with my 60 mile commute and I […]
Promotion, Production and Procrastinating
Hi there! I chose three p’s for the title today. I’m feeling a little Sunday morning spunky. So far on this bright day, my husband has made a delicious breakfast and built a big fort in the living room with the kids. I’ve done very little. Awesome. 🙂(Update, since I wrote this part an hour […]
Sunday Update: Fresh Words
It feels good to be slipping back into a writing routine after the release of my latest book. I floundered for a few days with attempts to market the new book, and a few more with wondering how much more I could do to promote the release. I found my balance this week. I’ll continue […]
Mid-Week Update: Goal #1 — Check!!
Hello ROW80 friends. This update is super late, because yesterday was the monthly Indie Life post hosted by the Indelibles. Big news! I published my fantasy novel Queen Witch, which was my first and largest goal for the winter round. Yippee! Celebrate! *dances nifty little jig* If you want more info on that, you can […]
Sunday Update: Shenanigans
Yes, I call shenanigans all over my Saturday. So there, Saturday! Seriously, one of the worst Saturdays ever. We bought bunk beds in the morning — courageously embracing the need for change in the kids’ room. This weekend we will conquer the kids’ room! Hubby had to run all over town borrowing a bigger car, […]
Mid-Week Update: Progress is a Sweet Little Kitten
No, I did not get a kitten. Hubby is allergic, and I’m a dog person. 🙂 We’ll have to haggle later with the kids, because they love cats. But I digress…. Progress! I’ve made some! Last week, I finished the final round of revisions to Queen Witch. Extensive changes resulted from one beta reader’s input. […]
Round of Words Goals Post: Happy New Year!
When I think about all I can anticipate in 2013, I get really excited! One of the major advantages to taking part in something like A Round of Words in 80 Days — the writing challenge that knows you have a life — is the quarterly re-assessing of goals. It’s a bright and shiny new year…but […]
Final ROW80 Update of 2012! Eek!
Alright guys. I don’t have long for this post. Life has blown up around my ears and I barely have a clear view of the door, which I fear I’ll never reach through all this muck. Yes, I’m being dramatic. But there’s also lots going on, and that mental space I need to finalize the […]
Mid-Week Update: It’s Been Crazy
There is more crazy to come. But I don’t have to tell you that. 🙂 I’m hearing lots of chatter from writers finishing up their NaNo 50,000 — if that’s you, way to go!! What a major accomplishment! My own writing has been progressing VERY slowly the past two weeks. I am about one-third of […]
