Writing and Stuff

Oh. Did you notice? School is back in. At least around here. And today, although not exactly being on schedule, I had all my kids in school. All the time. All four. Oh, yeah. So besides the quick-and-early trip over the mountain to pick up Husband’s car (which has a very nice new water pump

Writing Business, Part V

(Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV – all available for your reading pleasure. You’re welcome.) And today? It’s all about completion. We must finish the things we start. Say it with me. Finish the things we start. Can I hear it again? Finish what we start. This works on a few levels. Please

Writing Business, Part III

Part I, here, and Part II, here. Some of us have to read things in order. Some of us don’t care. But I am an equal-opportunity blogger, so I’ll give you the choice of just skipping right to the juicy part. Um, this is the juicy part. Right here. CONFLICT. Don’t we hate it? I

Writing Business, Part II

Writing Business, Part I is over here. Good morning, class. Today we discuss Choices. And Consequences. (*cricket chirps in the silence*) Okay, but really?

It’s Writing Business (Part I)

Once upon a time about six weeks ago, I taught a couple of days’ worth of classes to 7th and 8th graders, which I sort of already blogged about. It was a great deal of fun. I love honors students, remember that? So for the next few posts, I’m going to act like a Real

It’s Not a Rant, Exactly.

I’ve been doing loads of writing this week – just not the blogging kind. The BOOK kind. Manuscript is growing! We’re at 60% word count now. I know, right? It’s excellent. However, one of my main boy characters has a place-holder name (because I sort of just spewed a name out there), and I want

Magic Mirror

The Nordstrom at the nearest mall has a magic mirror. I’m totally not making this up. The mirror at the end of the hallway inside the dressing room makes me look 6 inches taller and 20 pounds lighter. My legs are long in that mirror. My face, too. I think, in fact, that I look

Liberation Thursday

I have goals. I just thought you’d like to know. For instance, every day for the past 2 weeks (and no, Saturday and Sunday don’t count as days, duh) I’ve written 1000 words. Some days, barely. But my WIP is growing because I’ve been diligent. (I love me some diligence.) The writing goals are excellent
