  • Obstacles and Lack of Discipline

    I have been writing, but at a slow pace and without updating this blog. I mentioned in my previous post that I was feeling superstitious – there was an ice storm here in town that week, and I was going to post that I’d weathered the storm just fine but I was kind of afraid…

  • Superstitious?

    I don’t think of myself as very superstitious, but I just deleted a blog post without publishing it because I didn’t want to jinx myself. So maybe I am.

  • Progress

    I had to take a break from writing last night, as I’d slept super poorly and couldn’t focus. Tonight I watched a movie with the kids, so I probably won’t get much done again. I’m kind of forcing myself to write this, so don’t expect the most captivating of posts today. The book is fun…

  • A gift from past me…

    I had left myself an outline of what I was doing on the young adult book I’d started, which was very helpful since I’d set it aside for so long. With my first three books, I had only the very loosest of outlines – characters, setting, and a bit about why there was some tension…

  • OK, one year later, let’s try again

    It’s been a year. A busy year at work, mostly. I’ve been working a lot of hours, but probably more significantly, work was tapping all my brain power. There has been a lot of complexity and short timelines, and even at night, I was dreaming about work. And I didn’t hate it. 😀 I like…

  • Starting Book Four

    Technically, I had started book four a while back, but the truth is I broke all my good writing habits over the holidays, so it’s been a bit like starting over to try and get into the rhythm again. I could blame work, which has been busier than it used to be (and more interesting,…

  • Third Book is Out!

    Well, I have not bothered to update this blog in far too long. I fell out of the habit – so now I will have to work to recreate that habit. The big book news: I finished the third book, and got it published just before Christmas. I wanted to finish them all in 2022,…

  • I’m Back

    So it’s been a non-writing kind of span of time.. First I got sick. Then my daughter got sick. Then boyfriend got sick. So that wasn’t great. But I also changed jobs, and managed to step into a new role when there was a LOT to do. Combined with meeting a lot of new people…

  • Proofs arrive tomorrow!

    Of course, I already found a typo… but that’s the breaks. I took a shot at editing it myself, as the amazing book layout person does give me an editable version – but since I don’t have her fonts and such, it uglied up her layout way too much. I’ll just make a list and…

  • Dear “Add my Chat Widget to your Site” Guy

    Stop signing up for my book announcements every day, and putting comments (that I never publish) about your amazing chat widget. I’m sure it’s a great little widget. This isn’t a website that needs a chat widget. You’re annoying me. This post is for you, boostleads guy…
