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 — […]
Mid-Week Update: Has It Been a MONTH?
Yep. It’s been more than a month since I last posted here. Not sure why. I’ve definitely been busy with writing stuff — specifically edits to my novel Chaos Calling, which will be released this spring. I’m done with my edits on paper. I think it’s a good book. Ha! I don’t believe I can […]
Mid-Week Update: Good Week So Far
When I last checked in I was down to two scenes left to write (or rewrite) in Chaos Calling. My current goals are:-Get up at 5 three days a week, walk the dog and write before the kids get up.-Write 5,000 words of new fiction each week.-Finish the first draft of Chaos Calling, have it […]
Round of Words Goals for Winter 2014
Exciting times! Winter has arrived. 🙂 My goals for this round are very simple. Write 5,000 words of new fiction per week, and edit for two one-hour blocks each week. I’m hoping to exceed that editing goal, because I’d like to have Chaos Calling, the sequel to my fantasy novel Queen Witch, published by April. […]
Mid-Week Update: The Juggle, and Defining Success
The last month has been brutal at work, and my fiction writing has definitely suffered for it. I just completed one major project (for the quarter), but I’m the primary author on a report due in a couple of weeks, so I’ll likely be waking at night thinking about youth in the labor force, not […]
Sunday Update: A Decent Week
It was a busy summer week, with kind of an odd-ball work schedule that had me in the office on my usual day off. We also went to Eugene for a sibling’s wedding reception and to stay over with my husband’s Dad and step-Mom. Adding to the swirl of excitement over the weekend was the […]
Mid-Week Update: Rolling, Rolling, Rolling
I’ve been a bit remiss in updating, and I must be fast this morning. Last week I wrote just 1,600 words, and did some plotting work for both the remaining chapters of Chaos Calling and the fairytale world I’m working on. I also continued revisions on Descent, the next book I’ll release. While last week’s […]
Sunday Update: Squashing My Goals, at Least for This Week
My goal for the summer isn’t very high, because I’ve been feeling more burned out than I like. Being an indie author is a marathon and not a sprint, and I need to live that philosophy, not just talk it. So, I have a goal of 2,000 words of new fiction each week. That assumes […]
