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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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: 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, […]
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 […]
