Hello all! Hope you had a good week. Mine was...variable. I haven't mentioned it before now because I didn't want to jinx it, but since 2/17 I have quietly been on a 46 day writing streak. Some days were as high as 2000 words while others were as low as 200. In the interest of...

  It's April already! How did that happen? When did that happen? Why? Meanwhile, while the calendar was turning, I had another slightly less productive week for a number of reasons, none of which have to do with the writing itself. This time I manage 4009 words which is less than last week but also...

Hello everyone! The last week of March! I hope you end the month on a high note this week. In writing news it's finally happened. Since I started logging and posting my weekly goals and totals I have squeaked in a under the wire a few times, but I have never actually failed before. Until...

Hello all! Another week done and we're nearing the end of March. Time flies for better or for worse. For a number of reasons, this week was not as productive as last. One scene in particular proved irritatingly stubborn, and another day was largely spent brainstorming and reorganizing. But I managed to finish the week...

Hello everyone! Hope you had a good week! I've begun to notice a pattern. It seems that at the beginning of every week my writing stalls a bit before picking up again somewhere around Wednesday. I started last week with a pair of dismal writing days for a variety of reasons, but Saturday was my...

Hello everyone! Hope you had a good week! And I hope it was warmer than mine. Seasonably appropriate temperatures feel colder when the rest of the winter is unusually warm. Global warming! This week, despite one day where I barely managed 100 words, I wrote a grand total of 5714 words. Which is the most I've managed...

Greetings! It is the penultimate day of February, the weather is unseasonably warm, and I have just returned from a fun-filled visit to the dentist. Have you ever tried brainstorming while someone has their hand in their mouth, fiddling with your teeth? It's not as easy as it sounds. In other non-tooth related news, I...

Happy President's Day (Apparently)! Clearly I have no sense of time, but I hope you've had a good week and that if you're in the US I hope you enjoy the holiday and the...er...car sales. This week I wrote 4667 words once again managing to do much better than I thought I had. It's nice at...

Hello everyone! I hope you've had a good week. Mine was...passable. Neither good nor bad, really, but when I went to tally my word count I found that I had done far better than I expected. I somehow managed 4116 words despite feeling like I was failing miserably. So appearances can be deceptive, apparently, and what I...

It's 2017!!! A slightly belated (although it is still January after all, if only barely) Happy New Year! I realize it's been awhile since I last did one of these. Three months actually. Time flies and I had such plans, but that doesn't mean I haven't still been writing. My draft now stands at 104,323...
