I know I missed Wednesday. But I had company, which I'm considering a good excuse. I'm too short on time to really do an in-depth post, and I'm not sure I have much to say right now anyway. So, I'm going to do exactly what I did last week, and pull something from one of… Continue reading More jottings

Editing Challenge Days 7 & 8 (And Spring Cleaning)
Okay, I failed - mostly. I did not write yesterday. But I did write today! For 20 minutes instead of 10 to make up for yesterday. I'm becoming rather pleased with the progress in the rewrite and am beginning to have rather high hopes for it. But I am sure you are curious as to… Continue reading Editing Challenge Days 7 & 8 (And Spring Cleaning)
Editing Challenge Days 5 & 6
I did actually do my 10 minutes yesterday, but didn't get a chance to do a post. And I did them again today (just now!) So far, I am not super far in rewriting that scene, since I am doing it really in 10 minute increments, but it is interesting to me to see the… Continue reading Editing Challenge Days 5 & 6
Editing Challenge Day 4
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 the… Continue 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 to… Continue 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, Chocolate… Continue reading Editing Challenge Day 2
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. Nothing… Continue reading Up Next: Editing Challenge!
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,… Continue reading Choosing Joy
WordPress = Best
So, I can't stand it any longer. I like wordpress so much better than blogger. I thought this would be a great opportunity to keep up with my blogger/"public" blog, but I hate that it doesn't have a like feature, so I can't tell if people are actually reading it. So, even though it involves… Continue reading WordPress = Best
