Writing

This month I set a goal to work on my writing everyday. However, I never specified which work I would focus on each day. Right now I am juggling between finalizing a collection of short stories and working on a new novel. Sometimes when I work on one piece of writing I feel guilty about…

In my hands I held the latest book of one of my favorite authors. Finding a new book usually brought about a feeling of excitement for this bookworm. However, I had been burned by his previous work and I was not sure if I was ready to give him another chance. For days I plowed…

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. The name of the story has changed a few times…

The weekend is always so fleeting. I have always said that my favorite part of the weekend is Friday afternoon as I head to my car after work. At that magical time, the whole weekend is spread out before me. In contrast, by Sunday evening, the realization that the new work week is merely hours away…
