That moment when you’ve been writing your book with only a few issues for hours and you know what you want to say and where you want to go with your story but all of the sudden you just can’t get your fingers to type any words . . . . And then you lookContinueContinue reading “Writer’s Block”

Just an Update
It has been so long since I have written, that I do not even remember what my last post was about! Ah, such is life. A very busy life, I might add – though that does not translate to bad. I was sick a lot of February – and by a lot, I mean likeContinueContinue reading “Just an Update”
Short Story Contest Entry – A whole new level
I am getting ready to take a new step in my writing life. For the first time ever in my life, I am planning to . . .pay *gasp* . . . to enter a writing contest. I have a short story all ready to go – well, almost. I am waiting for edits fromContinueContinue reading “Short Story Contest Entry – A whole new level”
New Years Already?
I have been avoiding writing a New Year’s post. Why, you ask? I think a majority of you can already guess the why. I have been thinking back to last year’s goals and how I didn’t meet a single one of them and wondering why I try to make goals at all and feeling likeContinueContinue reading “New Years Already?”
NaNoWriMo WINNER 2015
It is official! Against all odds, I have won NaNoWriMo for the second year in a row! Oh, the book is by no means done. No, apparently I don’t write 50,000 word novels. I just start with that. Because based on how the story is going, I am pretty sure I am only halfway done.ContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo WINNER 2015”
NaNoWriMo Woes
Okay, am I the only one who begins a novel, with only the vaguest of ideas as to what I want to do? I know that I want to place this guy in the fantasy world. I know I want him to go through a bunch of fairytale-like adventures. A castle, a dragon, a troll,ContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Woes”
Writing with a Friend
This makes me wish I had a friend nearby who also liked to write. Granted, we might just spend the evening commiserating on how we aren’t writing anything and will never make 50,000 words, but still – it is the thought that counts!
Book Giveaway!!
Update: It has been conveyed to me via a reliable resource that I need to clarify a couple things. One: This is a giveaway just on this blog, not nationally – so if only one person comments on this post, they WILL get the e-book. If three people comment, then I will draw names betweenContinueContinue reading “Book Giveaway!!”
Fear of Dreams
I know that my posts on my blog are off and on. Usually how much I post or don’t post is a reflection of busyness, yes, but also of guilt and fear. If I am feeling guilty that I haven’t written in a story in awhile, whether a short story, book, or even pursued writingContinueContinue reading “Fear of Dreams”
The Bench
So I completed my first short story in forever a couple weeks ago. No, not the one for Writer’s Digest. This is one that I actually came up with on my own – and longer than 750 words – and I actually finished it! Granted, it is a little . . .what’s the word? AContinueContinue reading “The Bench”
