Pushing the boundaries of my comfort zone. I've been doing that a lot lately, in a lot of areas in my life. And I've just found another way to push it in my writing. Yep. I believe the last time I said I was venturing into new territory with my writing was when I said I had multiple story ideas going on in my head. And now, I have just outlined a ( Read more... )

But now I have a real reason for it!

Now that I have an agent, I've been busy working on edits of "Disappeared". I thought it was great before, and it was, it just needed more. A lot of little bits of more. About 10,000 words of more.

That has kept me nice and buys, but that isn't the only thing.

I teach a workshop on "Silencing your Inner Saboteur" ( ( Read more... )

 Well, these last several months have proven to be incredibly interesting and life-changing. My writing journey has changed in a big way. And so, rather than simply documenting here how many words I wrote or how many pages I've edited, etc. I thought I would add to it the new adventure.

At the end of May, i attended Phoenix ComicCon where I met ( Read more... )

Inspite of my great optimism and expectations because of yesterday's productivity, it was beginning to look like I wasn't going to get any writing done. Thanks to the slow change of seasons, my wrists were bothering me a little bit, nothing to worry about, just enough to annoy me when I sat at my keyboard. I'd like to say they were sympathy pains ( Read more... )

I've given up on counting days, so I'll have to start being more creative with my subject lines ( Read more... )

 After two days of no writing due to work commitments, it feels really good to get back to the writing. I thought it would be a lot more difficult to get back into the story. So far, there just seems to be something about the characters that just pulls me in. I have some concerns about the way one or two of them are acting right now, but it will ( Read more... )

An excellent writing weekend. Despite my procrastination, it has been incredibly productive. Today is no exception. I was ready to stop early, but I'm pleased I didn't, that a friend of mine encouraged me to keep going.

I'm sneaking it in right under the wire here. That's what happens when I procrastinate all day. It was a good day though, relaxing, a good Saturday. But I'm happier now that I've written. And it was a good day of writing in the end. And I left off in a spot I should find easy to pick up tomorrow.

Best writing day so far. Put in some good writing time tonight. It does confirm for me though, that I write better between 10 pm and midnight. If I could survive on 5-6 hours of sleep a night, things would be great. Or if I could change my work hours.  However, I shall continue to make the most of writing time I get, when I get it. I consider ( Read more... )

After a non-writing day yesterday, I had a successful day today. Characters are revealing things about themselves all over the place. It's great for setting the foundation for the novel's conflict. I'm curious to see where this is going. I know, plot-wise, but character-wise I can't wait to explore.
