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”
Quit? #IWSG
IWSG question of the Month: What would make you quit writing? I may take breaks and walk away for a while, but I don’t think I could ever quit. I’ve recently been rereading an old file. The one that I figured out that if I wanted to tell that story I needed more world buildingContinue reading “Quit? #IWSG”
Production Time #IWSG
ISWG question of the month: Are there months or times of the year that you are more productive with your writing than other months, and why? Well, as long as we aren’t looking at 2020… But yes, and my year more or less follows when there’s NaNoWriMo (November) or Camp NaNoWriMo (April and July). ThoseContinue reading “Production Time #IWSG”
Didn’t go as planned #IWSG
IWSG Question of the Month: Have you ever written a piece that became a form, or even a genre, you hadn’t planned on writing in? Or do you choose a form/genre in advance? Often enough I complain about how my characters won’t behave, but I have done the above. The first several (failed) attempts atContinue reading “Didn’t go as planned #IWSG”
