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. […]

Sunday Update: And I Lost An Hour?
Suck. Time suck. The disappeared hour . Can somebody tell me what the heck justifies daylight savings time in this day and age? Totally upsetting to the body clock — especially with little kids. I’ll quit complaining. Especially since that isn’t the reason I have about zero progress to report since last Sunday. I’m not […]
My Writer Friends Are Good for Me
Hi there! Are you a good listener? Well, for me it’s hit and miss. Ha! What I mean is that sometimes I have the most difficulty listening to those closest to me, especially my family. (Most especially my husband — sorry honey, you married kind of a difficult lady. Can you see where our girls […]
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
I’m happy with my productivity since Wednesday’s check-in. I added 1,100 words to my manuscript yesterday, and again this morning. I also wrote a little Thursday night, but that resulted mostly in honing my outline for the final scenes of the book. Friday night, I took a different look at the plot for the series. […]
Mid-Week Update: Get Out of Town!
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 […]
What’s Your Editing Quirk? Among Other Things
Today happens to be my 32nd birthday! Check out my birthday post for info on the giveaway I’m doing this week to celebrate, and my interview today on author Aine P. Massie’s blog House Millar. Once again, it’s been ten days since I checked in. That’s partially because I have little to update — I’ve […]
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 […]
New Cover for Tribute
Tribute has a brand spanking new cover! It’s super pretty! Thanks to Tishia at Paragraphic Designs for her amazing work. The new cover went live on Amazon and Smashwords today. Now Tishia is working on the cover for Vessel, the next novella in the series. I’m on track to publish Vessel by December. In terms […]
