I spent my weekend editing that last huge story. Mentally, it scratched an itch.Hoping to get on some Chelsea stuff today, but honestly, probably won’t. It’s finally warm here. I have a dog to wash and shelves to start.

I was about to go a second day without writing here. It’s the change of schedule that got me. I’ve been waking up earlier to take my dog for long walk before work, and you would think that would give me more time, but it doesn’t. The big baby also has me playing fetch when […]

I finished the Lost Pittsburgh story, and even read it to my editor. He asked me what my betas have been asking. Am I doing another set of Pittsburgh stories. And I think I am. No set date for publishing or anything, and they don’t have a theme or overarching story to them like the […]

I got both Chelseas stories posted yesterday. Unfortunately, I forgot my headphones though. And while I can write without music, it’s very difficult. I mean sometimes I have to turn the music off to focus, but usually I need the background noise to get going. Hopefully, with headphone here today, I can get this story […]

I took yesterday off work due to back pain (Stupid lack of sleep. Stupid oral surgery. Stupid fall.), but I’m back today.And thank all the gods I took yesterday off anyway. My poor dog ended up at the vet. He’s fine, just a pulled muscle, but when the super-food motivated former street dog won’t even […]

I finally got some time with my editor and we did May and June’s stories! So I can get those posted this week. Meaning I’ve actually got buffer, and hopefully, I can get some more drafts in now that I’m not stressing deadlines. I haven’t finished that last Lost Story from Pittsburgh, and I have […]

I redid the opening and have been adding more context to my latest story. Yes, I started editing before I finished it. Lie I said, feeling like a real writer these days. Anyway, my editor has been fighting the stomach flu all week. Hopefully, we can get together this weekend. If not, the May Chelsea […]

I am ignoring deadlines. I hate the beginning of the story, which is not the one I should be writing. But I’m trying to finish it before adding more. I’m 12k in and no end in sight. I’m walking around the house, running dialogue under my breath (Yes, I act out scenes, especially dialogue.). For […]

My new “lost” Pittsburgh story is almost 10k, and I really feel like a writer again. Mostly because I hate the beginning, need to add in more fight scenes, and I’m completely avoiding what I actually need to be working on to meet my deadline. I’m back!

Following the drama that was getting this blog up and running again, I forgot to mention that my middle had a birthday this weekend.So I spent most of my free time prepping for that, and then my poor husband got sick on top of it. So not a lot of writing got done this weekend […]
