I've decided to make an attempt at posting on LJ more often (and on my regular blog), even if it's just a quick post.

Along those lines I'm sharing my new 101 in 1001 Challenge List posted on my blog. My previous lists were failures (mostly because I'd forgotten about them and never updated but also because I didn't complete many of the items!), ( Read more... )

* Just returned (around 4pm) from a two-part walk. I ended up walking almost five miles (4.95) for the total of the two parts which is okay for today. :) First part of the walk was fairly short because I was overdressed and was still sleepy. I ended up returning home after a half hour or so to change and tie my hair back (before heading out for ( Read more... )

Sleep has over taken me this week. My NaNo word count has suffered; I'm about 12,000 words behind right now, but I haven't given up yet. Nothing exciting is happening today so I should be able to get caught up eventually or get closer to where I should be, at least.

The idea is to commit to sending ( Read more... )

Holly Lisle is once again opening the online writing course I'm taking for a limited time starting Monday Oct. 6 until Mon. Oct. 13, and she offered a pdf which gives others a glimpse of some of the lessons along with a link to download a free module from Lesson 7. I personalized it a bit with my name (hee hee) and included the link here if anyone ( Read more... )

I'm really enjoying the course I'm taking. To get a peek into a professional writer's thought process, to learn from her mistakes as well as her triumphs is fanstastic. One of the students has posted on the forums that she sold a first novel using what she learned from Holly Lisle's other courses (which I might try at some point once/if I get ( Read more... )

Yay! day off! feels so good .. and sleepy :)

I've been writing & editing. I need to finish a vid I'm working on. I don't think I'll be doing any of that today though. Too sleepy. If anyone reads my other blog, the idea of don't think, just write! should be familiar since it's something I've been struggling with for awhile now. So I sought ( Read more... )
