I wrote 4,000 words yesterday. I know, I know. That isn't nearly enough to catch up on how behind I am, but you have to admit, it's pretty good. Especially considering how exhausted I was after Election Day, that I also finished two books I was in the middle of, and...nope, that's it. That's all… Continue reading The Hallmark Writing Game

None of the words…or the Panic
I finally made more progress! And by more progress, I mean that I wrote 2100 words today...I mean, yesterday...since I'm writing this post at 10:00 PM and scheduling it for 7:00 AM. Which isn't bad...unless you are like 9,000 words behind....Oh well. We still had a wreck of a house from our OCC Packing Party,… Continue reading None of the words…or the Panic
Weekend Distractions
So much for writing every day of NaNo, huh? Well, I have a good excuse, I promise! Saturday was our annual Operation Christmas Child Packing Party - a party in which we invite all of our friends to bring toys and eat lots of good food while they help pack shoeboxes for children overseas. Of… Continue reading Weekend Distractions
Getting Started
Okay, y'all knew this was coming. Well, at least those of you who have been around for a few years. I usually try to post every day of NaNo, and by the end I peter out. Anyway. I FINALLY DID IT. And by finally did it, I mean I re-read all 100,000 words I've already… Continue reading Getting Started
NaNoWriMo 2022
Guess what month it is? That's right! National Novel Writing Month! And...it's November 2nd. Is this the first time in years that I haven't posted on Nov. 1st for NaNo? Quite possibly. Yesterday was an off day for me. Okay, all week has been an off week for me. But, for those of you concerned,… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2022
Rewrite Complete!
Well, I did it, people. Yup, finally finished rewriting A Picture of the Past! Oh, don't get me wrong--there is still a ton of work to do. Since my "editing" turned into "rewriting", there is still actual editing to do, and I cringe to think how long that will take! You know what this rewrite… Continue reading Rewrite Complete!
NaNo Updates and Word Wars
So much for writing throughout all of NaNo, hmm? Well, the truth is, my writing has been so sporadic and usually at such late hours, that I simply haven't made the time to update you all. For all that, however, I'm running fairly on time. I am at about 33,000 words and though it is… Continue reading NaNo Updates and Word Wars
NaNo Day 3 & 4
There's a reason I didn't do a post yesterday...I didn't finish my goal word count until 1:30 AM. I had to push pretty hard to make myself finish, and apparently I wrote myself out because so far today, I've done a grand total of 511 words. Instead of writing during the day yesterday, I cleaned,… Continue reading NaNo Day 3 & 4
NaNoWriMo Day 2 and Query Letters
It is 11:15 PM so I figured I should get in my blog post for the day. I'm not quite at my word count goal for the day, but I know I will reach it! I've got about 300 more to go, and I'll have written 3,000 today - ugh, I'd better get that in… Continue reading NaNoWriMo Day 2 and Query Letters
Deep Dives
It's been a few weeks. And if you don't follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you have no idea where I went. I promise I had good reason for disappearing. In summary, I was doing a deep dive into my three main projects. And here are the results: Drawn Into Love: I know, I know… Continue reading Deep Dives
