The Alpine Path – and attempts to reach it

People laugh at me because I am very predictable. In many ways, at least. Every year, I make innumerable New Year’s Goals. Every month, week, sometimes by the day, I write schedules and lists. I have made menus since I was 15 or younger. I schedule out my life as much as possible. I pursueContinueContinue reading “The Alpine Path – and attempts to reach it”

Just a bit of thought

I’ve been intending to do a New Year’s Post and I still intend to – but I have this super detailed plan I want to complete before I discuss it, so this is just a hold-over post to note what’s been up. I was sick through New Years and it was almost more stressing toContinueContinue reading “Just a bit of thought”

NaNoWriMo Day 26: 22,300 Words

For anyone else doing NaNo, you can tell it isn’t going super well. Weirdly, I seem to be a little behind on the 43,000 words I am supposed to be at . . .but for how many days I have skipped writing, this actually isn’t that awful. And, I know I should just be laughingContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 26: 22,300 Words”

NaNo (10,280) and Life

I have gotten little done for NaNo, though I have every intention of catching up at some point. It’s always hard when you have visitors. I once again don’t like what’s happening in my story, but rather than rewrite it, I’ve decided to make my character a little older and see if that helps fixContinueContinue reading “NaNo (10,280) and Life”

NaNoWriMo Day 8

As you may already know from our Ingleside blog, my friend and I started NaNo off right this year – with a 3-day cruise! That’s right! And, while the first day we wrote all of 500 words, we more than made up for it the second day, and were well on track by the timeContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 8”

Rejection and Life

Would you like to know WHY it has been over a month since I’ve written? Because I have literally spent half (possibly over half) of my nights away from home – mostly work trips, though a couple personal, and in between trying to catch up on schoolwork! However, class is now over (officially ended yesterdayContinueContinue reading “Rejection and Life”

Finishing the Book. . . with mood swings

Remember that sappy romance novel? Yeah, okay, so, two relevant points first: Apparently Hallmark makes books. Apparently for approximately one month only (until September 30) they are accepting unsolicited manuscripts. You all know where this is going, don’t you? Yup. I found out about it around the end of August, and with the encouragement ofContinueContinue reading “Finishing the Book. . . with mood swings”

When Keith comes a’callin’

I thought it might be time for a tiny little excerpt from my book. You know, just to change things up. This is while Josie is working from home Christmas week so she can working on a drawing commissioned by you-know-who. It was a lovely, quiet existence that almost allowed Josie to forget she nowContinueContinue reading “When Keith comes a’callin’”

Book Giveaway Sources!

Okay, so, things that have happened since last I wrote: My computer broke Finished my final paper for my class Spent the weekend in Lancaster with my friend Ashley Bought a new computer! In essence the last couple weeks of the month consisted of being stressed, trying to get my paper done, and getting aContinueContinue reading “Book Giveaway Sources!”

Stress, Lies, and the Truth Behind Them

Overall, I’ve had a rather stressful week and a half (for a taste of last week, see my latest post on The Writers of Ingleside). But last weekend was delightful. Daniel and I celebrated our anniversary late, and went to Winchester for the weekend, which included apple, peach, and blackberry picking, as well as aContinueContinue reading “Stress, Lies, and the Truth Behind Them”
