I swear, I’m back to writing the book I’m supposed to be focused on! 🙂 A few weeks ago, I entered a stalling phase on Shield, the final Children of the Sidhe novella. It was all going so well, and then the fear got ahold of me. The FINAL book in a series. With all […]

Sunday Update: Finally Rocking Shield!
It’s been quite a week for this fantasy writer. I released a novel last weekend, and then took a couple of days off from writing. But after a couple of days, I got really excited about my next big project — the one that moved into “primary writing project” stage when I hit publish and […]
Mid-Week Update: Let’s Call it a Holiday Flop
It’s been a rough couple of weeks. We celebrated two birthdays (hubby & younger daughter) at the beginning of November, took a trip to the Oregon coast with a bunch of family for my father’s 60th — all happy stuff, but busy. And then the day after we got home my grandmother (Dad’s mom) passed […]
Sunday Update: Chaos, I Tell You!
Um…hi. It’s been an interesting week. I scored virtually zero on the word count meter (I added just 900 new words of fiction this week — blah!), but I kicked butt in several other areas, so I’ll take it! I’ve been working on the blurb for Descent, the book I’ll publish in the next couple […]
Sunday Update: Slow Start
I hope all of you other writers had a better start to this round than I did. But honestly, with how work has been and editing Brooke Jackson’s novel, I’m glad I put down at least a little word count this week. I chalked up 2,000 words since Monday, and about 1,000 words of plotting […]
Sunday Update: Feeling Good, Making Progress
I’m glad I made the choice to reduce my word count goal to 2,000 words a week for the summer. Several weeks I’ve beaten that mark. While it is a cheap trick, somehow 4,000 words a week feel AMAZING when my goal is 2,000, and only so-so when my goal is 3,500. You know? So […]
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 […]
