So I generally eschew New Year’s Resolutions (and I’ve recently become a fan of slightlyjillian’s method of taking stock and making resolutions on your birthday). But I also think there’s a lot of value in having a writing plan for the year, and October (when my birthday is) seems like …
I validated last night, in the middle of the scene that is about to ramp our characters up into the climax of the novel. Chloe and Braxton aren’t talking to each other. As soon as Martin finds out about that, he won’t be talking to Chloe either. Fortunately, Jason and …
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YAAAAAAY! I just officially caught up to where I’m supposed to be and even passed it! It’s a good thing, because I had completely forgotten I made plans for November 30. Of course, there’s still a good chance I’ll skip those plans so I can finish the novel. I’m getting …

So I’ve been stalled here for the past four days: I did all kinds of plotting on Friday. I scratched out about 10 words Saturday. Didn’t even try Sunday. Didn’t try last night. Gave the novel to microgirl8225, who’s been awesome at kicking me back into gear in the past. …
