Current word count: 14,416 Scheduled word count: 31,673 This year started so well! On “Halloween” I spent my time after work, writing down a few more notes. At 11pm, I sat in a Denny’s with other writers staring at the clock. After some eggs it was midnight and I got to work cranking out page … More NaNo 2017: Day 19
Sometimes, I do not do well with prioritizing my writing. There are many days when I let my day job get in the way of my creative job. This past week is a perfect example. I had been working on three different short stories to be submitted to various anthologies. However, I am also in … More Writerly Waste?
It’s Camp NaNo once again. Another chance for me to complete a novel. There is a new story line that I have created: a world decries Death’s efficiency and his is forced by the powers that be to take a sabbatical with his golden watch.

My love/hate relationship with social media continues. Some days, I am very proactive in updating my accounts and letting others know about my different writing projects. Other days, there is radio silence. During one of my proactive days, a dear friend of mine (who also happens to be a writer) asked if I would be … More The Inkblotters

Not sure when I first heard this quote but I really took it to heart. It is not unusual for me to set goals that to some are astronomical. In many instances, I tend to feel overwhelmed at just the thought of these goals. I start to take to heart the doubt others place in … More Goodreads Challenge 2017: 100 Books In A Year
