NaNoWriMo Progress – or lack thereof

Last year I was so good about writing multiple times during NaNo. It rather kept me going, you know, feeling like people were enjoying keeping up with my progress, whether it was true or not. 🙂 This year. Well, I got a very good start, as you know. And I was actually quite good atContinue reading "NaNoWriMo Progress – or lack thereof"

NaNoWriMo Begins!

It is officially NaNoWriMo! So,to celebrate it,  I am sharing the November 1st NaNoToons - because they are the best. And, although I was up past midnight last night, no I did not start writing. But I don't feel guilty. You know why? Because Daniel is bringing me to a wine/coffee bar tonight specifically toContinue reading "NaNoWriMo Begins!"

NaNo, Photos, and Books

One more day to NaNoWriMo!!! Am I scared, you ask? Why yes, yes I am. Terrified that I am going to sit in front of my keyboard and have absolutely  nothing to say. But I've won NaNo twice in a row now, and I am determined to make it a third! And if there isContinue reading "NaNo, Photos, and Books"

Careers and Relaxation

Since my last post (other than the awesome NaNoToons I just shared) was all down-in-the-dumps-self-pity, I figured I should give you guys an update sooner than I usually do. After a semi-good nights sleep, I felt worlds better the following day. But, my husband being the darling person he is and generally able to tellContinue reading "Careers and Relaxation"

Emotional Musings (or really, just whining)

First and foremost, for an ever-so-brief update about Ethrill, you can see Once Upon a Story. Yes, I am purposefully directing you there to try and increase foot (view?) traffic in my attempt to get serious about online presence. 😛 It's been an interesting week - or two. I am back at work. I can't rememberContinue reading "Emotional Musings (or really, just whining)"

Great article from BlondeWriteMore- I think this will be very helpful for me in the future.  Especially with Picture of the Past - I love the story, but have a hard time connecting with my own main character.

The Truth of People Pleasing

WHAT? Two posts in a row?? I know - I know, you think the world is coming to an end.  But have no fear! It is only that I am at work, but have little to do (right now at least) and wanted to talk about something that I experienced yesterday but wasn't ready toContinue reading "The Truth of People Pleasing"
