Less than two weeks to go

The launch of NaNoWriMo 2015 is less than two weeks away and I can't wait for it to start. Thirty days of insanity, at least that's what I experience, but it's not something I plan on passing up. I enjoy the feverish pace with which I write, a pace I really should get into the …

Another plan bites the dust

I had it all planned out. Today was my day off, and I was going to sit and write. I'm almost at the end of my book, and I had hoped to be done today, or at least almost done. Instead I washed dishes and started to deep clean the kitchen. It's amazing how dirty …

Hi! Remember me?

Happy Friday to all you gorgeous people out there. I hope you're staying nice and dry today. It's been a heck of a week in the Texas Panhandle and South Plains.

Struggles in outlining

Outlining my story was a great idea! I can't believe just how much easier it is for me to write with this crisp new outline in front of me! Well, maybe not. Outlining hasn't gone too well. So far all I have to show for my troubles are several aborted attempts. A pantser I remain, …

This is the end, or is it a beginning?

I have no choice now. I have to give in to the inevitable. I should have seen this coming a long time ago, and maybe I did and I tried to delay it by walking away. Now I can see that I have to give in. I'm sorry, but this is the end of my …
