Writer Blues

I think I have the writer blues.
Being a writer is a bit like riding a spastic roller coaster sometimes. One day, you think you’ve got some absolutely terrific and perfect. The next, you think every word you write is blah. One day, someone is requesting material. The next, you have three rejections.
I actually really love […]

Getting to know you

I found this meme awhile back, and I don’t remember where I found it! In the midst of pitch preparation, one sheet edits and working on the WIP, I thought I’d post something fun and easy. I’m not going to tag anyone, but feel free to post this on your own blog!
What were you doing […]

Apparently, I’m Irrational

Today, I was bumbling around the internet and stumbled upon a discussion about querying on an idea and an idea alone. The person argued that she should be able to do this so as not to waste time on actually completing a manuscript if it couldn’t sell. In her own words, she stated she would […]

Meniscus? Why must you be torn?

I went to the doctor today and was told I most likely have a meniscus tear. I’m being sent to get an MRI to make a definite prognosis, but with my symptoms, the type of fall I had and the part of my knee where it hurts most, he’s pretty sure that’s what’s going on.
I’m […]

Naps and Nights Off

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 […]

Writing Style Meme

I don’t have any news or updates today so I thought I’d do a fun writing meme. I’m not going to tag anyone, but if you want to take this and do it on your own blog, let me know!
What’s Your Writing Style?
1. Are you a “pantser” or a “plotter?”
Neither. I’m a plantster. I do […]

Nerds in New York

Over the weekend, Cappy and I had a full fun day of nerd activities. Trips to toy stores, the Strand bookstore and the Apple Store. There was lots of fun with Harry Potter toys and the collection of the British version of Books 1 and 2.
Anyway, here are some of the piccies of the day. […]

One Year: Writing Goals and Accomplishments

Today I was thinking about writing goals and accomplishments. About success and how it’s different for everyone. About how I started this blog a year ago to get serious about my writing.
I have a very big long-term goal. It’s a difficult one, and the odds are against me. But here it is: I would like […]

The Perfect Writing Space

Well, the big move is complete. That is, I’m in the apartment with all my belongings. But all those belongings are in boxes and are scattered around in large piles that are hard to maneuver. But there’s something really great about all of this. I have so much more space, and I’ll be able to […]

Back from Venice

I’m back from Italy! I had a great time, saw some great old buildings and statues and attended a beautiful wedding. It would have been perfect except for my extreme mold allergy. Since Venice is full of mold, my allergies kicked in big time. Anyway, here are some of my favorite pictures from the trip!
Roaming […]
