Round of Words in Eighty Days: My Goal (Singular)
Hello there! So happy to be back for my fourth round of ROW80, the writing challenge that knows you have a life. The past two rounds I’ve shot way too high. Although I’m making a ton of progress, my lofty goals are making me feel more and more behind. So it’s time for a reality […]
ROW80 Round 1: The End!
I can’t believe Round 1 is at an end! Crazy how time flies. For those of you who haven’t heard of Round of Words in 80 Days, it’s a writing challenge where writers set their own measurable goals four times a year, and cheer each other on while we reach for them. Over the last […]
Sunday Update: Finally Getting Somewhere
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 […]

Round of Words Update: 12 Days of Christmas
We’ve reached that glorious season, where Christmas music spurs us on to greater shopping, baking, get-togethering heights! I hope your season has been magical so far, and will continue to be so. We got our tree this morning, so the rest of the day we’ll be decorating, and going in for a family photo. So […]
Round of Words Update: December!
Hi, everyone! I need to write a quick update today, because I have a lot of writer business to get to, as well as a Sunday at home to enjoy with my family. 🙂 We’re now less than a week away from the beginning of the 12 Days of Christmas Reading promotion hosted by Nadja […]
Round of Words Update – Vessel Published!
I accomplished one of my ROW80 goals yesterday, with the publication of my second paranormal romance novella, Vessel. Fun times! It was a nice day around the house, me hustling around between publishing and the major football event of the year, Oregon’s Civil War between Oregon State (go Beavs!) and University of Oregon (damn Ducks).
