Randomness, Writing, and Some Snippage, Just Because
Today was the first time I was able to sit down and write for a long block of time. Things have been distracting me, primarily the review site, which I’m still not happy with yet. The good thing is I’ve got my FIRST interview going up next week. I’m excited because I really wanted this [...]
I Should Be Writing….
But I’m not. I have crit group tomorrow. I still need to enter in the changes and print out how many copies I need. Of course, it’s so hard to tell sometimes how many I’ll need. I’ve gotten to the point where I just print out seven and hope for the best. I mean, I [...]

Writing Fuel: What Makes You Go?
So I’ve been doing a lot of thinking (since I was having trouble writing) about what gives me the fuel to write. I hesitate to call it inspiration because it’s not like a Eureka moment. It crawls into my head really slowly. Like the other day, I was reading Twitter and I read a bunch [...]
Happy! Happy!
I have reading material to last a couple weeks. WHEE!! That is all.
Busy Bees Don't Make Honey…
…especially when the busy bee is busy with everything else in her life that doesn’t allow her to make honey. I’ve had a hard time writing these past few days. It’s a combination of things, really. And of course, the weekends when I have the most to do are the weekends I have drill for [...]
Writing Update: Week 6
Can you believe it’s already six weeks into the New Year? I guess that makes the New Year no long new, but just the Year.
