I need an intervention. I’m addicted to Words with Friends. And Draw Something. And Solitaire. Stupid iPad. I have to learn to put the iPad down and not pick it up until I’m finished with important things. You know, like writing. And housework. And exercise. I haven’t touched my WIP in a week. I’m disgusted [...]

ROW80 Check In – Fate is Against Me
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged check in, goals, ROW80 on May 2, 2012 | 19 Comments »
Monday, I sat down at the computer and wrote 710 words. But that was only in about 30 minutes, and I was supposed to sit at the computer for an hour. The thing is, I realized I had to get my Mary Kay order in by 9:00 that night, and it was after 8:30. Yikes! [...]

I realized that I completely forgot my Wednesday check in last week. I posted something else on that day instead of my check in. Oh well, a missed check in every once in awhile won’t kill me. I only managed to write 1538 words last week. That is NOT acceptable to me! There were a [...]
ROW80 Update 4/22/12
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged ROW80, starfane, the gnome, update, WIP on April 22, 2012 | 12 Comments »
The Gnome has finally been released on Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon. Yay! One of my older books, Starfane, has had a sudden increase in sales. Not a huge increase, but enough to make me wonder what’s going on. I have never understood why certain books sell at certain times. Marketing would be so [...]
ROW80 Check In and iPad!
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged check in, ipad, ROW80, the gnome on April 18, 2012 | 19 Comments »
Yesterday, I spent my lunch hour here at work editing The Gnome. I did this because I knew I wasn’t going to get to do it last night. Because I went to get an iPad! I’m so excited! I have the brand new one with the awesome graphics. I’ve never seen such a crystal clear [...]

I think things at work have finally slowed down for me, so I’m not quite as tired every day. I plan to start getting back to more blog reading and commenting this afternoon. I don’t know how many of you read my post about time vs. word count, so I’ll go over it quickly again [...]
Stephen King’s 11/22/63

I was at the library today at lunch, looking for an audio book. I HAVE to have audio books to listen to in the car or I go crazy. Driving is boring! I went to the new release shelf and guess what I found? (I know you know because of the post title, LOL.) Stephen [...]

I just have a few minutes. I’m on my way soon to a birthday party for a one year old little girl. That ought to be fun! Then, tonight, my oldest son and his wife are coming for a visit. So this will be a busy day. But a good kind of busy. I had [...]
New Idea Excitement!
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged new story idea, ROW80, vampire story idea on April 6, 2012 | 11 Comments »
I started a story for ROW80, and I’ve just been frustrated with it. I’ve written on it two days, and it was all I could do to get my 700 words out each day because I just wasn’t enjoying it. I had no idea where I wanted this story to go other than this vague [...]

Those of you that have been following and commenting on my blog know by now how much I HATED, DESPISED, ABHORRED trying to outline my new story. I was using Scrivener and the little note cards on the corkboard. I have discovered two things…1)I don’t think Scrivener has anything to offer that I can’t do [...]
