My soul is soaring right now. Yes, yes, far different from my previous two posts. I'm not entirely certain why I'm so happy at this exact moment, though I've some guesses. We've had multiple days in the mid-fifties over the last couple weeks (Today was our first snow, but let's set that aside for now),… Continue reading Idyllic Moments
Fighting the Forest
You know that churning unease inside of you that just upsets everything around you? That feeling you get when all is not well, or, in my case this week, when you have so much to think about and so much to do that you are avoiding it but you also feel guilty about avoiding it,… Continue reading Fighting the Forest
January Blues
Guys, I am tired. I wonder, were holidays always so wearying, or is it just modern times? It feels like I've been going nonstop since...well, I'd say October, but it really started before that. Perhaps August? Anyway. We ended up leaving for Christmas two days early due to a snowstorm sweeping through the country, pulling… Continue reading January Blues
Finishing NaNo
I swear I didn't abandon you. No. Strike that. I did. I totally abandoned you all. So, here is the update you all have been waiting...has it already been a week???....for: YES, I DID FINISH MY WORDS! I almost gave up. Multiple times. But I didn't. And I'm so glad. It doesn't quite feel as… Continue reading Finishing NaNo
Slogging Through
You know, I am beginning to wonder if whoever decided on National Novel Writing Month being in November hated the holidays. Or had no family. Because, seriously, am I the only one who finds it impossible to find time to write the day before, the day of, and the day after Thanksgiving? Especially when you… Continue reading Slogging Through
Wall of Tears
All right, last time, I promised you all news! And the news is...I wrote over 2,000 words yesterday! Okay, I'm kidding. I mean, I did write over 2,000 words yesterday, but the TRUE news, which those of you who follow me on social media already know, is that I won third place in The Writer's… Continue reading Wall of Tears
National Frontier Trails Museum
We drove fifteen and a half hours yesterday...and instead of writing during lunch and in the evening when Daniel was able to drive, I slept half the time. Apparently, I was tired. Well, I can catch up again, right? That's how life goes, though. Best laid plans and all that. This morning we got to… Continue reading National Frontier Trails Museum
On the road and 2,000 words
I am currently writing this at 7:00 AM on the road to Oklahoma to spend Thanksgiving with my in-laws. Well, technically, we are going to Missouri first. We normally at least try to make it all the way to Oklahoma in one shot (18 hours), but due to alternate circumstances, we aren’t supposed to arrive… Continue reading On the road and 2,000 words
All the Bananas and all the words
Apparently, when you have a lot of description to write because you are figuring out how the world in your fantasy works, you can get a lot of words in. Which means...over 4,000 words yesterday! I may have also realized that we are leaving for Oklahoma on Friday, which means a 12-hour driving day (stopping… Continue reading All the Bananas and all the words
Leftovers and more words
Yeeesss. I almost petered out...but I didn't! I got in my 3,000 words yesterday as well, and I am having the most fun time describing this temple in Ethrill. I'm probably going to end up cutting most of this description, but it is rather essential for me to know all the inner workings of this… Continue reading Leftovers and more words
