I didn’t forget yesterday, I just made the deliberate decision not to blog until I met with my editor. And once I did that, it was pretty late and I was tired. But the good news is, my usually hard to please editor really liked the story. Some plot points we had been arguing, he […]
There was no writing yesterday. Nor any physical therapy, which is bad. But I did cross a lot off my list, including fixing Sammy’s butterfly wings. Hopefully, I can get something done today. I have people coming to give an estimate on trimming the freaking grove that is my yard (Seriously, I have twenty trees […]
The museum is redoing an exhibit and with my back, I cannot help. I have been given a few days off. While I would love to say I’m going to spend them writing, I am not. I have a few things I have to get to, including my follow up regarding my fall. But I […]
I did start May’s Chelsea story yesterday. Although upon reflection I might want to push it off to June and do something else. I’ll have to see what my editor thinks. I will finish it first regardless. I would love to have five or six roughs in the bank. It would make me feel so […]
I finished that Werewolves in Pittsburgh story, and then I pulled up my half-finished Chelsea story and finished that. Today, if I can stay on task, I want to start May’s Chelsea story too. I will likely edit April’s story this weekend, and set up the post on Monday. In other writing news, I have […]
It’s been nearly one week since I started this Werewolves in Pittsburgh story, and while I’m happy I’m writing, it’s getting long. Well long for me. Lately. I hit 6k words last night and I’m at about the 2/3 mark. Of course, I’ve been thinking I’m at the 2/3 mark for three or four days […]
I was really hoping to finish this story yesterday. I know how it ends, I know the monster, and I have a few more scenes and dialogues to add in. I have this story. But finding the words to express that scene in my mind and the emotions I know are there… that’s the hard […]
I’m here! I’m here! I’m also writing like I haven’t in years. The story I started last week is 4k words and still going. I’m hoping to finish it tonight. And I mean it literally. I haven’t felt a story like this in a long, long time. I know this story. It’s tucked in my […]
So Wednesday night, I stayed up way too late reading my old Pittsburgh stories. And Thursday morning, in my head, over and over, all I could hear was Matty saying, “Hey, Sis!” And I wanted to see what he had to say to Mina. I lamented to my writing buddy and she said, “Write it! […]
I got a lot of writing done yesterday. Didn’t finish the story, and in fact, think what I did was choppy and uneven. But I got something on paper. And then I did something kind of weird. I sat down and reread about 2/3 of my old Pittsburgh stories. I don’t really know why either. […]
