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 IContinueContinue 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 icedContinueContinue 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 whatContinueContinue 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 howContinueContinue reading “That Leap of Faith”
New Year Goal Time!
Okay. So, I know I promised New Year’s goals ages ago and I’ve told so many people about them and typed them out so many times that, frankly, I’d kind of forgotten I hadn’t shared them here yet! So here they are in a nutshell, so that you can all ease your curiosity. Lose 20ContinueContinue reading “New Year Goal Time!”
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 pursueContinueContinue reading “The Alpine Path – and attempts to reach it”
NaNoWriMo Day 26: 22,300 Words
For anyone else doing NaNo, you can tell it isn’t going super well. Weirdly, I seem to be a little behind on the 43,000 words I am supposed to be at . . .but for how many days I have skipped writing, this actually isn’t that awful. And, I know I should just be laughingContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 26: 22,300 Words”
NaNo (10,280) and Life
I have gotten little done for NaNo, though I have every intention of catching up at some point. It’s always hard when you have visitors. I once again don’t like what’s happening in my story, but rather than rewrite it, I’ve decided to make my character a little older and see if that helps fixContinueContinue reading “NaNo (10,280) and Life”
NaNoWriMo Day 8
As you may already know from our Ingleside blog, my friend and I started NaNo off right this year – with a 3-day cruise! That’s right! And, while the first day we wrote all of 500 words, we more than made up for it the second day, and were well on track by the timeContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 8”
Rejection and Life
Would you like to know WHY it has been over a month since I’ve written? Because I have literally spent half (possibly over half) of my nights away from home – mostly work trips, though a couple personal, and in between trying to catch up on schoolwork! However, class is now over (officially ended yesterdayContinueContinue reading “Rejection and Life”
