Today I’m celebrating getting a lot done this week. Finished final content edits for a short story, sold a few small pieces, did a lot of research for an ongoing project and met someone with a surprising connection to my past. The priest who celebrated my mom’s funeral. That whole funeral was such a blur […]
Here’s my monthly post for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group, where the first Wednesday of every month we get together to share our concerns and support one another in this ongoing writing journey. This month, I feel like – well, there’s nothing astounding to report again. Making tiny amounts of money from writing, not enough […]
For this week’s Celebrate the Small Things, I am scheduling this one ahead of time because on Friday – yes! – I’ll be heading to Philadelphia for a pre-conference conference. (I’m super excited about this one even though it means leaving early in the morning!) Other things I’ve accomplished this week are finishing a draft […]
So here’s my post for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group, led by the inimitable Alex Cavanaugh, who has promised us a surprise today. (I’ll admit it, my curiosity is piqued!) Up until this moment, I had no idea what I was going to say for this month’s post. Literally. I just deleted a draft entitled […]
Here’s my third post for celebrate the Small Things where every week we look at what we’ve accomplished . What I’ve accomplished this week. 1. Made it to work every day. I’m on the bus on the way to Friday so that counts! 2. Made it to the gym almost every day. See next bullet! […]
I decided to be a little lyrical with this one. Sorry I’m posting it late, but with work, moving and a bout of poison ivy I’ve been going a little crazy lately.. Anyway, here’s my post. …… Writing is hard, I say in passing, as if talking about something not that important to me, really. […]
Here I am for my monthly post for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group, where once a month, on the first Wednesday, we get together and share our angst about writing. It’s a chance to share grievances, and successes. This month, I’m in the middle of finally buying a house (closing date is July 17th but […]
This will be a quick note, to say that – yes, I made it through doing two crazy things this month: Yes, I actually went 10,000 words over my personal goal, finishing with 80,000+ words – and I’m still writing. Also, I mostly finished edits on Summer Fire. Okay, I fell pretty far behind on […]
This is my post for the Insecure Writers Support Group AND the A-Z Challenge. I’m lazy so I’m combining the two! A is for Author is my theme for today. According to the dictionary, an author is a writer – someone who has produced some manner of literary work. (Been there, done that.) In my […]
This is my latest post for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group, wherein on the first Wednesday of every month we post about writing. In this month’s post, I will 1) share some untruths about fiction writing and 2) attempt to be funny. Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time on plot, character, and world […]
