2015 Year in Review Seems like everyone’s doing a year-in-review post. I meant to do one a couple of days ago, but I’m just now getting around to it. New Year’s Eve I was busy plotting instead of writing. Yesterday I spent much of the day doing a First Day…
I am far from the most disciplined person I know. Two of my writer friends looked at my 2014 writing plan and made noises like they were impressed. It was tempting to pretend I’ve got it all together, but since both of those writer friends are selling more stuff than…
Yesterday I worked on my 2014 Writing Plan. Today I’m exhausted and exhilarated at the same time. I have some ambitious plans for the upcoming 365 days. Honestly I’ll be happy if I accomplish half of them. But I really want to meet all of these goals and more. I…
…so this happened. Pirate is my default at Halloween. I think it’s because pirates can be pretty and fierce at the same time. And also pretty fierce. Also, it’s remarkably easy to be a pirate with stuff I already have, which says something about my wardrobe choices. Anyway, being a…
I’m a member of the inkingitout community, where we check in on a regular basis with the amount of words we’ve written. There are great conversation starters posted at the journal as well, and recent questions have been about the timing of our writing. Do we write on a daily…
*eyes desktop warily* My 4-year-old HP desktop is acting unhappy lately. It’ll boot up, I’ll start doing something, and two minutes later it just randomly shuts off and goes into the reboot cycle. O.o Or it tries to boot, then freezes and I have to do a hard reboot. *sigh*…
What I’ve managed to do this weekend is depressing. Yes, so I put a new battery in my car (and in the process realized I had no antifreeze in there–yikes!). And I spent some time with my aunts. Did some organizing that desperately needed to be done. Finished reading another…
I've been making a lot of those lately. "It's a three-day weekend, I don't want to work on the revision." "I have a migraine. I don't want to work on the revision." "I worked on plotting and world-building for a different project, I don't want to work on the revision too."…
I’m a reader of Procrastinating Writers blog and Write It Sideways blog. For the month of January, both bloggers are producing a “Better Writing Habits” newsletter, and I’m subscribed to that. Today I’m posting my response to the first day of their series. What are your worst writing habits of…
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'll never share your information with anyone else. You'll get fortnightly emails from me about what I'm working on, and every once in a while I send out exclusive freebies to my email list.
