Hi everyone! Just taking a quick break from the hours of work to give a status update on the progress of my WIP.
1. Coffee is my friend. I took a nap tonight when I got home from the day job, and when I woke up, I was quite groggy. A trip to Dunkin Donuts for […]

Busy, busy, busy! That’s me.
Here’s my current status with the WIP:

What does that mean anyway?
That looks painful, and I don’t really understand how that’s supposed to mean hard work. Silly old phrases.
Why am I posting photos of grindstones? Because I’ve been putting my nose to one…figuratively. Over the weekend, I wrote 10k on my WIP, blasting me through the halfway point and into the really […]

I have a different process with my current WIP. It’s a little different from the last one.

I hit the 25% complete mark tonight! That’s always a fun one. This is when it starts to really get going for me. Of course, I’m speaking from the experience of only one completed novel before this one so maybe I don’t know what I’m talking about. But if experience from the last one […]

I didn’t write as much this week as I had planned or wanted. Things have been quite busy and hectic these days, and I’m managing to carve out only a little time for writing. I’m still carving it out, but I don’t have the two or three hours per day that I need. I’m hoping […]

I’m a big proponent of writing regularly. As in every day. But sometimes a girl needs a night off.
Last night, I was tired. I’ve been having some trouble with a knee due to an unfortunate fall on a particularly sporty Father’s Day extravaganza. After doing some grad school stuff after a day of working in […]

I was sitting here taking a quick break from the WIP, and I was trying to come up with a blog post for the day. Unfortunately, nothing came to mind other than today’s experiences with the world of agents and writing.
First, nudging. To do or not to do? I think this depends on the agent. […]

I’ve been making some pretty good progress on the new WIP this week. The plot and characters have really gotten fleshed out, and I did an exercise to see how I was coming along with the overall story. I wrote a two paragraph summary of the novel, much like how a query letter should sound. […]
