Stop Avoiding the Why

Day 8 of 2021, and I am not on plan. The very first goal? Write every day at 7pm. I believe I wrote twice at or around 7pm and committed to the full 30minutes. The other 7pm’s in the week fell at the wrong time. I mean, yeah, itwas 7pm eastern standard time, but inContinue reading “Stop Avoiding the Why”

Rules of Engagement

Hello 2021! We have been waiting for you! New Year’s resolutions are not my thing. I have never been one to start “anew” with the new year. I do however try to be outside in the open air when the new year rolls in. As I stood outside last night, I listened for any signContinue reading “Rules of Engagement”

For those just joining our story already in progress: Completed 50,000 words in the 2010 NaNoWriMo program (woohoo!). Lost thumb drive with back up copy. (womp, womp) LaptopContinue reading “The Order of Things and Upcoming NaNo Prep”

Q’s Without the A’s

There are currently only two people lucky enough to hear about my writing. One is work friend, the other is my husband. The work friend listens as I ramble on about my plans for one character or another. My husband on the other hand, while happy I am making progress, has questions I cannot answer.Continue reading “Q’s Without the A’s”
