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…

I had love once. It was such an amazing thing. My world flowed, heart bursting at the seams. Even in the darkest night, it flooded my soul with the brightest light. I had love once. At times it was complicated. Like a drug it had me sedated. There were days when I felt so much…

Current Word Count: 50,285 – Winner It was a really good idea, if not a bit ambitious. The plan was for me to blog my way through NaNoWriMo. Originally, it was going really well. Until real life came and kicked my butt. There was the car accident which resulted in cancelled vacation plans (so much…

Current Word Count: 10,670 I added less than 400 today. It was just an extremely busy day filled with time with friends and even a 5k race. I am not going to beat myself up over it. Instead, I’m going to get myself to bed and catch up tomorrow. Write On!

Current Word Count: 7,434 It was my goal to hit 10,000 words today but I was not able to do it. I will try again tomorrow. Yesterday I was plowing through the words. I destroyed my word count and was excited to see how many words I could churn out today. However, I just could…

Current Word Count: 5,314 No, that is not a typo that is my actual word count for today. Day 1 of NaNoWriMo is drawing to a close and as promised, I am blogging my progress throughout the month. I started writing at midnight on my PHONE of all devices. As anxious as I felt in…

It’s almost here. While most of my friends were handing out candy or taking their children trick or treating, I have been staring at the clock in anticipation. In 15 minutes the mad race to complete a novel in 30 days will begin. This year is unlike any other for me. For the first time,…

For many years as a writer, I was what most people would call a “Pantser.” There were no outlines, or character charts for me. I wrote by the seat of my pants. Once I had a good idea, I would just start writing. When I learned of writing software like, Scrivener, my writing life changed…
