It recently came to my attention that I had neglected to post a run-down of what I managed to accomplish during the very terrible month of July 2015! Since it's quite a miracle that I accomplished anything at all, considering (you can read all about that here), I wanted to be sure I documented what I DID get done. (And you can compare this to the monthly goals here.) So, in July 2015, I accomplished the following: - Started work on TWTF extra last chapter (~300 words) - Completed anthology ... View Post
Bait, Fish, and Reel Report for May 2015!
Well, here it is. My progress report for the month of May 2015. I can't believe this year is basically half over already. Ridiculous! Since my previous way of listing everything out was cumbersome and slow (not to mention full of zeroes, which ended up being depressing and not particularly an accurate representation of what I'd been doing), I've now decided to do a much more informal type of recap. The Wordwraiths (my writing group) post our accomplishments and goals each month internally, so I ... View Post
Project List for January 2015!
It's a New Year and if you saw my last post, you know I have a lot I want to accomplish! So to begin, here are the January goals: Complete rough draft of Primus (formerly The Good Thing).

Bait, Fish, and Reel Report for July 2014
Someone once said that to be a successful and productive writer, one had to do the equivalent of “cutting bait, fishing, and reeling ‘em in, all at the same time”! This translates to writing as working on projects-in-progress while at the same time submitting completed projects to potential markets and also continuing to cultivate new ideas for future projects. In case you missed my previous post on this subject, at the end of every month I compile a list of what I accomplished as far as ... View Post
Camp NaNoWriMo Diaries: Days Nine to Fifteen – Editing Makes The Heart Grow Fonder
Dear Diary, I apologize for spilling that gin and tonic ... errr ... glass of Kool-Aid on you the other day. I'm glad you are now dry enough to write in so that I can chronicle the most recent events of this year's July Camp! It has truly been a great Camp so far! I'm happy to report that I, as well as the rest of my bunk mates, have largely stayed on track for the entirety of these past two weeks! There have been bad days, of course, but there have also been great days! In the past seven ... View Post
Camp NaNoWriMo Diaries: Day Six – Whereupon I Face My Greatest Fear … Editing
Dear Diary, Yesterday was Day Six of Camp. Due to my decision to enter the Weta Nichols Writing Contest, I thought my Camp goal would switch (hopefully only shortly) to editing the first 2500 words of the first chapter (the contest's maximum limit - my first chapter is closer to 4k words, I think) in preparation for submission. The contest due date is July 15th. Not much time there. So, yesterday, I began those edits, at the standard Camp NaNo conversion rate of 1 hour of editing = 1000 ... View Post
