Kicking some serious writing butt today

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

I got my rhythm back. I wrote over 3500 today. And I see tomorrow being just as productive. I should have no problem getting this baby done in record time. I hate that I have to slow down, because I could probably get another 1500-2500 done tonight, but it is Pumpkin Day here in the […]

Writing, writing, writing

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

Another day of sweat. About half way to my daily goal, but I am looking to double it.
UPDATE: I got over my 1400 and I am going to try for another 1K to get back on track:)

Rewarding yourself

Monday, October 29th, 2007

I learned a long time ago that I can’t buy new books when I am under deadline. So, I always plan a reading day when I finish up a book. I am at heart, a reader. I get all giddy over new releases and still get tongue tied at RWA Conference when I come face […]

Spending Time in Purgatory

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

So, music

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

Many of you know that music really helps me write. It started out as a way to drown out the demon seeds and their father when we lived in a little 2 bdrm townhouse kind of thingy in Hawaii. Now, it is a must. It sets a mood and really helps me write the scene.
So, […]

Promo Blackhole

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

As a published author, promo is the dirty little five-letter word no one told you about before signing the contract. I don’t mind signings or group days, because I get to hang out with authors and readers. But the paperwork makes my eyes bleed. There are mountains of it, and plenty of times I feel […]

First Project Completed!

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

The short story is done, woo hoo! It turned out a little longer than I expected(almost 1500 words) and I still need to look it over, but I am setting it aside to rev my engines for the next one. I am just about on track, even with the trip out of town. But, I am […]
