PitchMAS & Other Shenanigans

There aren’t any shenanigans actually, I just like to use that word. So, PitchMAS.  I learned about it the other day via twitter and looked into it and it seems fairly neat.  So I’m going to try to participate.  Here is my pitch for Stealing the Wolf Prince, a romantic fantasy novel: An unwilling pawnContinue reading “PitchMAS & Other Shenanigans”

NaNoWriMo Winner Goodies

One of the things that I always enjoy browsing is the Winner Goodies offered by sponsors of the National Novel Writing Month.  Last year I took advantage of the discount on Scrivener after my win. This year I was really looking forward to the book analysis offered through The Book Genome Project. I submitted StealingContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Winner Goodies”

Plans for December

So with November done and my latest novel rough draft on ice, I’ve decided to write a to do list for December.  It will help me stay focused and no, it’ s not all going to be writing related. Finish Christmas Knitting:  I am making my boys an Adorkable Monster.  I have two different colorContinue reading “Plans for December”

Week Two

I’ve made it through week one and I’m right where I need to be as far on words.  Week two is where I really start to doubt myself.  At this very moment I am thinking that I might not have enough story to make it to 50k.  I’m also thinking that my premise it tooContinue reading “Week Two”

Day One

Today marks the beginning of National Novel Writing Month.  Although I know some people have already been writing since midnight, their time, I am not one of those folks.  I have a day job and kids.  I’ll be writing this evening and hope to get about two thousand words.  Like most people in the beginningContinue reading “Day One”

Hello Sweet Justice

  So, this is my novel as it was outlined and input into Scrivener.  It’s hard to believe that those 17 note cards will get me to 50 thousand words by the end of next month.  I wouldn’t be surprises as things evolve, the number of chapters increases.  I’m sure that some of the charactersContinue reading “Hello Sweet Justice”

Countdown to NaNoWriMo!

It’s October so the countdown to NaNoWriMo has officially begun!  The NaNoWriMo website has been revamped, the new web badges are out, and people are flooding  back to the WriMo forums. This year, I will be writing a contemporary sci-fi romance novel called “Sweet Justice”.  I’ve had the idea for a while now and I’veContinue reading “Countdown to NaNoWriMo!”

Unproductive

So, I had the day off unexpectedly and made use of my time by not doing anything productive. Sure, I slept in, did some laundry, dishes, did my workout, and took out the trash but none of that is writing. The best I can say I did along those lines is get Scrivener open, updated,Continue reading “Unproductive”

Tell Me My Fortune

My husband and I enjoy Thai take out almost every Friday night.  They always throw in fortune cookies along side the napkins and forks.  I very rarely eat fortune cookies.  The few that I even bothered to crack open normally have some silly phrase that we jokingly add ‘in bed’ to the end.  Now IContinue reading “Tell Me My Fortune”
