The Editing Cave

You know that lovely time that comes all too rarely when you are working SO WELL on your book that you just CAN'T stop? That happened to me yesterday. Well, technically, it started at about 12:30 AM yesterday morning, when I couldn't sleep because I kept thinking about changes I wanted to make, and finallyContinue reading "The Editing Cave"

Nitty Gritty Editing

Between yesterday and today, I managed to get through the second edit of my book! Well. Sort of. While going through it this time, and thanks to an article in an article from The Writer magazine I have realized there is FAR MORE work to be done that I realized. Therefore, now that I've goneContinue reading "Nitty Gritty Editing"

Introducing Idyllwood

You may have seen a difference in my blog if you tried to access it yesterday - or you may not have. I am not sure how it works if you have it bookmarked or on your reader. **shrug**. Nonetheless, there HAVE been significant changes, which I am actually pretty excited about. It SHOULD beContinue reading "Introducing Idyllwood"

Writer Fears

I've realized posts like yesterday's probably belong more in The Writers of Ingleside, since it is more about daily life than writing - though you all know I like to talk about my life here too. But I'm going to try to keep this month's posts a little more focused on my feelings as IContinue reading "Writer Fears"

A Little Progress

Today was lovely! I was just a LITTLE bit more useful - does that mean I am finally feeling rested? After sleeping in super late again (hey, in my defense, I was up until 3:30 - okay - I guess that isn't really a defense. More like. . .an admission), I made passion fruit icedContinue reading "A Little Progress"

Day One of Writing Freedom

So, what do you think? Do you think you want to come along on my month of writing adventure? I thought maybe it would be fun, with me pursuing my dream for the first time in my life, to have company. So I've decided to TRY to write a blog post every day noting whatContinue reading "Day One of Writing Freedom"

That Leap of Faith

This has been one of the longest years of my life. And yes, I know it is only March 24th. Here's the thing. As I think I've mentioned before, I am less than happy at my job. And by less than happy, I mean checking my phone every few minutes on Sundays to see howContinue reading "That Leap of Faith"

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 pursueContinue 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 toContinue reading "Just a bit of thought"
