I’ve been avoiding my major writing project for more than a week now. Shield is two-thirds written, and it’s pretty typical of me to get stuck about here. So wish me courage and a little get-up-and-go on that one. 🙂 Does that mean I haven’t been writing? lol. No! I’ve been writing plenty. I’ve started […]

Sunday Update: Good Writing Week!
I was on vacation last week, and it shows in my word count. 🙂 Monday through Wednesday I was at a little cabin up in the woods with my two daughters and our dog (poor hubby had to work. Like LOTS of work.). The girls and I hiked, had movie night, and just played around. […]
Sunday Update: Chaos Calling Released Yesterday!
My first goal for the spring was to publish the second novel in my Foulweather Twins fantasy series. DONE! Chaos Calling is out now. One more book to go in the series. I’ve also thought of a possible spin-off series, but I’m not committed to it at this point. Fun choices for a writer — […]
Sunday Update: Finished Chaos Calling Yesterday
I can’t believe those words, but they’re true. In the middle of our family rush to put on a birthday party this weekend for the newly minted 5-year-old, my excellent, thoughtful husband sent me out in the world to seek my fortune…I mean to FINALLY FINISH THIS DAMN BOOK. Seriously. The last few scenes of […]
Mid-Week Update: Good Week So Far

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: 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 […]
Mid-Week Update: A Day Late & Hours Short
It is bound to be a busy few days — from now through Sunday. I’m working a half-day tomorrow, and my mom-in-law is coming to play with the children in the morning while I work. Then all of the sibs on that side are coming for dinner Friday night. Saturday we’re throwing a birthday party […]
Sunday Update: My Foulweather Twins Series
That’s what I’ve been working on. I had a lot of writing time today, because I had the house to myself until almost three this afternoon. Crazy quiet. 🙂 Finishing and publishing my novel Queen Witch is my primary goal this round of ROW80. I’ve incorporated one beta’s edits, and the comments another gave me […]
