Drafting again! Four weeks into 2019 and I've already gone off the rails. I had every intention of finishing the WIPs I had already started. Or at least one of them. And I tried. I really did. But it didn't work out. After finishing my revision to resubmit to the publisher who had requested it,… Continue reading Just Writing Things – 11

2019 WRITING GOALS! I want to write every day. Or at least do something writing-related every day. Finish drafting the following WIPs (in no particular order) The Godwing Wager Under the Amethyst Sky Guild of Tears Legacy Book 1 (This is technically an old project. I'm using the series name because I don't have a… Continue reading Just Writing Things – 10
Writing: Monthly Update for November
Boy, am I glad November's over. Querying: Nothing has changed here. And it's probably going to be longer than I thought before I'm able to jump back in. Current Novel WIPs: THE GODWING WAGER - So, apparently saying I'm not going to work on something is a good way for me to get inspired to… Continue reading Writing: Monthly Update for November

OMG! This outlining method changed my life! So, I've been watching Kat @Kat_tastic for several years. A couple months ago she started a weekly writing vlog series showing her process while she drafted a new manuscript. During this vlog she talked a lot, and I'd heard her mention it before but didn't take much notice… Continue reading Just Writing Things – 8
Writing: Monthly Update for October
Whoops! I fell off the wagon again. Sorry it's so late but it's been a hectic month already. Halloween, our son turned 14 on the first, he had a sleepover on the second to the third, after which we did a crap ton of shopping, and spent yesterday with family! So, with all of that,… Continue reading Writing: Monthly Update for October
If I die, my book did it. Meet my murders.
I love writing but it might be the death of me. After finishing book 2 of my dragon series, I realized it was time to give book 1 a new name. That's where I'm going to start this post so I can easily reference it (SPOILER: I never reference it LOL) FROM STARS, COME DRAGONS… Continue reading If I die, my book did it. Meet my murders.
#WIPWednesday Writing update: Rough draft complete!
It took 3 fewer weeks than I planned and about 13K fewer words but it doesn't matter because I reached the end of my WIP! The rough draft, that is. 😉 Remember, this is really rough. There are so many placeholders. There's an entire sequence that will most likely consist of multiple scenes that is… Continue reading #WIPWednesday Writing update: Rough draft complete!
Writing: Monthly Update for September
What's this? A timely update?! I know, I can't believe it either. Querying: From Stars, Come Dragons: I'm officially taking this one off the table. Technically, there's still one publisher I haven't heard from but that's OK. I'm going to file it as a rejection and move on because I have PLANS! Current Novel… Continue reading Writing: Monthly Update for September
Writing Role Call
Writing has been going really well this week! I've been going strong on my new-old WIP (the sequel to FROM STARS, COME DRAGONS) currently titled SKIN AND SCALE. As you can see, by the name of the file in the word count target photo, I started writing this on August 28th. Exactly one month ago.… Continue reading Writing Role Call
Writing: Monthy update for July
Wow... Last month was late. This month is even later. Please, life. Stop it! Anywho, here’s what’s up! Querying: From Stars, Come Dragons: Still haven't found a new home for him yet but also only had one rejection since last month's update and submitted to two more publishers. The one press told me it would… Continue reading Writing: Monthy update for July
