So, I worked on the book during lunch today – but rather than continuing the normal editing process, I decided, particularly after discussing it with a friend, that I just don’t like this section as it is. So I am going to try actually re-writing it as opposed to editing it, and then comparing theContinueContinue reading “Editing Challenge Day 4”

Editing Challenge: Day 3
I am on page 51 of 104. Sometimes I think that, rather than editing this entire section where Keith is snowed in at Josie’s house I need to just push aside what I have and write it again. There is so much that just seems awkwardly phrased. But then again, the part is supposed toContinueContinue reading “Editing Challenge: Day 3”
Editing Challenge Day 2
We had company tonight until almost midnight. I woke up at 9:00 AM and immediately started baking. I took a break to get some supplies from Costco and Whole Paycheck – er, I mean, Whole Foods – and then cooked some more. I made a lovely cake roll filled with pudding and whipping cream, ChocolateContinueContinue reading “Editing Challenge Day 2”
Editing Challenge Day 1
I did it! I edited my book for 10 minutes – a little over actually. It is hard to stop once you start and I probably would have kept going if I didn’t need to put together a plan for tomorrow, since we are unexpectedly hosting a small group. I partially re-wrote this very awkwardContinueContinue reading “Editing Challenge Day 1”
Up Next: Editing Challenge!
I am supposed to be working right now, but apparently after working 9-10 hour days all week to make up for being sick last week, and being extremely productive while I was at it, my brain is a little tired now. No, it has nothing to do with being up until 12:30 last night. NothingContinueContinue reading “Up Next: Editing Challenge!”
Rushing Through Life
So we went on a week-long cruise the week of February 18th. It was a very fun, very busy vacation what with islands, snorkeling, an excursion that was cancelled and replaced by a different one, and in general staying up until 2 AM every night playing games with my brother and sister-in-law. But for onceContinueContinue reading “Rushing Through Life”
Schedule Update and Writing Goals
Having left off last time saying I was getting up at 4:45 AM and “happy” about it, I was thinking it was about time for an update, and a question from one of my friends accentuated the fact. And the verdict is currently: I am still getting up at 4:45. And I am still atContinueContinue reading “Schedule Update and Writing Goals”
Choosing Joy
Apparently my previous post was a little too sobering for anyone to read/like/comment on – which is fine – I am still glad I pushed away my fear of confrontation enough to bring it up. It’s what so many introverts/writers struggle with, isn’t it? That fear someone is going to attack you for your beliefs,ContinueContinue reading “Choosing Joy”
New York Abortion Legislation
I almost sat down to write last week, but to tell the truth, I was so upset over New York’s recent legislation allowing abortions up to birth that I couldn’t. I debated for awhile about writing a long article talking about abortion – but I don’t know. I feel like there are already so manyContinueContinue reading “New York Abortion Legislation”
Planners and Schedules
I just ordered a planner completely themed around being a writer. Yup. They have those. How I only thought to look for them now, I have no idea, but there are apparently plenty of them – some of which are plenty expensive as well. But, they are so cool! They let you track your wordContinueContinue reading “Planners and Schedules”
