It's been over a month since my last post... wow. Not really surprised though. I've worked on the below post for a number of days but kept putting it off.... but here it is ( Read more... )

So I am plotting away at a new book idea. I’ve detailed twenty chapters so far. I already have the ending planned out, but I need to figure out the middle-ish part. I want this book to feel familiar for the genre but also be very unique in its own way. Finding that balance with my ‘perfectionist’ mentality is hard. I know things will become clearer ( Read more... )

Autumn has been such a letdown this year. Usually my favorite season, it not only came late (we had sweltering days all through September), but the tress leave much to be desired.

Distracting myself from my dilemma. Thank you to those who've already responded and I'll respond individually shortly.

So yeah, distracting ... been writing. I am now almost done with Chapter Twelve of my book (no edits except minor things I catch when I go back to reread something) - that's 19,327 words (which isn't TOO much). I'm not even halfway ( Read more... )

I feel like a bullet point entry today, so here we go (:

• I hate feeling annoyed very first thing in the morning. Work is having our front courtyard repaved (they paid some company to do it last year and it was already all cracked after this winter and we barely had a winter this year!). This means that we have to use a side or back door depending on ( Read more... )

Update on my dad. The new job is going a bit more smoothly, but he's still really nervous. He hasn't learned how to drive the forklift yet, and it's driving him crazy. He goes to work every day on pins and needles, and ( Read more... )
