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. NothingContinueContinue reading “Up Next: Editing Challenge!”

Schedule Update and Writing Goals

Having left off last time saying I was getting up at 4:45 AM and “happy” about it, I was thinking it was about time for an update, and a question from one of my friends accentuated the fact. And the verdict is currently: I am still getting up at 4:45. And I am still atContinueContinue reading “Schedule Update and Writing Goals”

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,ContinueContinue reading “Choosing Joy”

Planners and Schedules

I just ordered a planner completely themed around being a writer. Yup. They have those. How I only thought to look for them now, I have no idea, but there are apparently plenty of them – some of which are plenty expensive as well. But, they are so cool! They let you track your wordContinueContinue reading “Planners and Schedules”

Making Characters Suffer

As part of my new year’s resolution, I have a new schedule (as anyone who knows me at all would have already guessed).  I get up at 5:00 AM, do a quick 10-minute workout (sometimes Calisthenics and sometimes stretches as instructed by the chiropractor), get dressed, do hair and makeup, grab the lunch my husbandContinueContinue reading “Making Characters Suffer”

An Ear By Any Other Name . . .

I was in Atlanta this week for work – three days with four hour meetings and then networking events. It was delightful for me as an introvert, as I am sure you can well imagine. I may have gotten bored during one or two – okay, three – moments, and I decided it was anContinueContinue reading “An Ear By Any Other Name . . .”

Jobs, Thanksgiving, and NaNo

I was healthy for the first two days of my new job – and then sick for a week and a half. The second week of my job I lost my voice and couldn’t even talk. Is there anything worse than not even being able to answer properly when the director/vice president of your newContinueContinue reading “Jobs, Thanksgiving, and NaNo”

Three Life Facts . . .

. . . that are true for me right now. I got sick my first week at a new job. Like, seriously???? It could only happen to me. Thursday and Friday – sore/swollen throat and lots of congestion. Yesterday – a not very happy cough and today lost my voice as well. Great first impression,ContinueContinue reading “Three Life Facts . . .”

I dedicate this perfect post from BlondeWriteMore to my husband Daniel and entreat my friend who is doing this with me to print it out for her husband as well. :p https://wp.me/p4yGBR-lbB
