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 […]

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: Fresh from Vacation
My little family had such a nice couple of days on the Oregon coast last weekend. The weather was amazing. Camping at the coast in May would usually mean at least one rain storm and in general cold and unpredictable weather, which is why we stayed in a yurt (a semi-permanent structure that keeps out all […]
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 […]
Mid-Week Update: Finally Checking In!
I know. I pretty much disappeared for the last three weeks. I’ve made occasional posts, but given no updates on writing progress. That’s because there hasn’t been much progress. I haven’t done a thorough review of the last two years, but this should go down as one of the longer stretches without writing progress since […]
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 […]
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 […]
