Genre problems #IWSG

I am horribly inconsistent with writing IWSG posts. Really any blog posts, but mostly because I’m not sure what to write most of the time. As for the last couple of months… I took book 7 through Camp NaNo for edits in July and kind of just stopped. Right there in the middle of expandingContinue reading “Genre problems #IWSG”

Player is on Another World #IWSG

It’s July, it’s Camp NaNoWriMo, and that means I’m neck deep in editing. I write/edit all the time, but I tend to do a much tighter focus during NaNo events. A few people caught me at Gem State Gaming Con this past weekend editing book 7 while it was quiet (and silently cussing the overheadContinue reading “Player is on Another World #IWSG”

Keep chipping away #IWSG

Since I don’t have much to share from the month, I’ll jump right into the question. IWSG question of the month: When the going gets tough writing the story, how do you keep yourself writing to the end? If have not started the writing yet, why do you think that is and what do youContinue reading “Keep chipping away #IWSG”

Rollercoaster ride #IWSG

What happened to April? In between the chaos that is now my schedule, I managed to get some heavy lifting done on book 7. Added a few new scenes and increased the overall word count. Just not to where I want to be for a minimum. Strangely, I do have a minimum for the books.Continue reading “Rollercoaster ride #IWSG”

Listening #IWSG

Ack! It’s Camp NaNo and I’ve taken on likely more than I can manage. I’ve got a table at Gem State Comic Con this weekend that I need to make sure I have everything prepped for. Signed up/paid for two more events this summer this month. Pinewood Derby for my daughter’s Pack was earlier thisContinue reading “Listening #IWSG”

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should #IWSG

I should start this post with some progress. Yes, I’ve finally gone back and started editing book 7. It was in a much better place than I feared it was (post NaNoWriMo chaos is always questionable). I’ve got plenty of editing still to do and possibly some scenes to add since it’s a bit thinContinue reading “Just because you can doesn’t mean you should #IWSG”

Paralyzing fear #IWSG

You know that rough of book 7 I was talking about? Yeah… I still haven’t looked at the file again. Why? I’m scared. And that’s not the only thing lately. I’ve been trying to pick up some new skills or returning to things I used to do, but stopped because… well, I sucked. I knowContinue reading “Paralyzing fear #IWSG”

New year, new um… #IWSG

I’ve never been one for New Year’s Resolutions. Not sure why, but they just never worked for me. A draft of book 7 is waiting for me. I decided to take at least a month away from it before coming back which is really weird because I usually dive right into editing in December. InContinue reading “New year, new um… #IWSG”

Writing joys and woes #IWSG

NaNoWriMo is over and the year is quickly coming to an end. I’m not sure what to make of it all. There has been so much going on that it’s been hard to keep track of. I’m not even certain what to write at this point. About as much as my brain wants to workContinue reading “Writing joys and woes #IWSG”

I forgot… #IWSG

Uh… oops. It’s been chaotic and I’ve kept missing IWSG days and am running late on it today, but at least it’s still today. And yet somehow I’ve remembered during NaNoWriMo. November IWSG question: What’s harder to do, coming up with your book title or writing the blurb? The blurb. The blurb is the baneContinue reading “I forgot… #IWSG”
