October Wrap-Up & November Goals
I’m writing this on Halloween, my second-favorite holiday of the year, which marks exactly 60 days until New Year’s Eve, which is my favorite holiday of the year. I’m looking forward to dressing up in a bit and helping my mom give out candy at her house. Then, I shall endeavor to get a good…

November Wrap-Up & December Goals
I swung into November, literally, by attending an amazing sword technique workshop hosted by the Highlander himself, Adrian Paul, on Halloween. If the Sword Experience comes to your area, I can’t recommend it enough. I learned a lot, and what I was already familiar with was a lovely refresher. I look forward to incorporating those…

October Wrap-Up & November Goals
Based on the dreary, rainy weather outside my office, I suppose fall has officially arrived. Cloudy days call for a second cup of coffee, especially since I have started getting up when the spouse leaves for work to spend some time with Ring Fit Adventure and on the elliptical before my workday begins. It’s brutal…

NaNoWriMo 2016 (sort of)
It’s that time of year again, kids! When the writers in your life disappear for hours upon end, consume copious quantities of caffeine (and sometimes alcohol), and come out the other end of 30 days with some semblance of a book completed. Though I’m not officially signed up for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), which…

October Wrap-Up & November Goals
This month I traveled to Delaware, Colorado, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. I also attended three weddings in three weekends. Frankly, the fact that I managed to do anything during my “free time” besides curl up in a little ball and watch Netflix is pretty impressive. October Wrap-up: I wrote 15k words instead of 20k words, but…

Final STEEL BLOOD Wrap-Up
Now that I’ve finally completed the first draft of book 3, tentatively titled STEEL BLOOD, I wanted to do a bit of a wrap-up on it. These questions were gleefully stolen from fellow writer Breeanna Pierce, and you can check out her final thoughts on her most recent novel here. Previous posts I’ve made about…

NaNoWriMo Follow-up: Part 1
Sorry for the silence for the past 2 weeks. I picked up a cold on the last day of November and it took me down hard. But I’m feeling much better now! Unfortunately, my days have been wrapped up with working on STEEL MAGIC edits, and my NaNoWriMo novel is still languishing at 70k words.…

November Wrap-Up & December Goals
November Wrap-Up: Participate in NaNoWriMo (successfully): Done! I wrote 50,000 words in 30 days over the month of November, bringing my word count for book 3 to 70,014 words. December Goals: Incorporate my editor’s notes and complete the full line edit of STEEL MAGIC before deadline on 12/31/2015. Start working on a series bible for…

NaNoWriMo Update: WINNER!
NaNoWriMo for 2015 is finally done, with a few hours to spare. This is my second year “winning” in a row, and just like last year, I definitely still have a lot of work to do. This time, it’s writing about 8 more scenes (including the epic dragon battle while a city burns) and going…

NaNoWriMo Update: Week 2
I’m still plugging along, kids! Sort of. This update was supposed to go up on Monday, but I burned one of my free days and drank beer and caught up on the DVR instead. No regrets! As of last night, I’m at 29,086 words (49,086 for the STEEL BLOOD total). As a reminder, you can…

NaNoWriMo Update: Week 1
I am on a roll with NaNoWriMo this year! Tonight I hit 16,000 words (36,000 total for the manuscript), and I’ve been consistently writing every day. The only exception has been 11/7, because that’s my husband’s birthday–instead, we had a great day watching the new James Bond movie and eating delicious Brasilian pizza. If you’re…

October Wrap-Up & November Goals
October Wrap-Up: I made it to 20,000 words in STEEL BLOOD by October 31. So I will definitely have at least 5k to 10k words to complete in December, but I am okay with that. I finished all of the Kitty the Werewolf books and wrote up my review of the final novel in the…

STEEL BLOOD: My 2015 NaNoWriMo Novel
It’s that time of year again, kids. That time when a significant number of the writers in your life hibernate with their computers for hours on end, alternately spamming social media with words counts or angsting about how this is impossible and they will never get it done.
