The Sweet Escape

We have reached the end of another month in 2010… time is flying by! It’s time again for the Get Your Words Out Word Count Report.
In the month of February, I blogged quite a bit on my personal blog, sometimes managing 7 blogs a week. I also completed a chapter of All I Wanna Do, [...]

Update 2: Geez. What’s a person have to do to find a critique group full of writers (good ones) that are adults? And, sorry, aren’t from the UK? The terminology and style are so different… I can’t write like a Brit and they can’t write like Americans.
I joined My Writer’s Circle, finally. Read a couple [...]

Write.
Write.
Write some more.
Look for some books.
Leave the house.
WRITE.
I am hoping to get a start on Ch 41 of AIWD. Got some ideas rolling around but the chapter needs a purpose. A goal that I need to achieve in writing it otherwise I will write into oblivion. Maybe some planning tomorrow.
More editing on Calm Waves and [...]

I have great samples that can be polished/ rewritten and submitted, just for practice.
Gee.. I gotta make everything so hard.
I am thinking of revamping Calm Waves and Smooth Moon. Giving it a new title and a little more story and submitting it to a short story archive. Have to check to see if it has [...]

Today is the 31st, which marks the last day of the first month of Get Your Words Out, a totally insane writing challenge for 2010. My challenge goal is 300,000 words in 2010. I’m positive I can do that… last year I missed the cut-off so I decided to do it on my own and [...]

Last night as I was tiptoe-ing through my Google Reader, I opened a post from a writer I’ve been following. She’s currently editing a book and sent out some queries and is trying to get published. She posted last night about a website that she found the is sort of an auto-editor. It looks out [...]

I am backing out of  the Original Fiction Big Bang. I would love to do it, but I have so much on my plate at the moment and some projects I NEED to finish. It’s not that it would be a waste of time, just that I need to spend the time I would put [...]

Well. Now I’ve gone and done it. I got an email in my box this morning about a  ”Novel Big Bang” challenge. It’s 20,000 words of original fiction. Rough drafts would be due in July. Posting would be in October. Since I have a hurking, lurking word count goal this year, that would definitely help. [...]

I feel… excited. Anticipating something great…
I keep a separate blog, a personal blog away from this one because I want this one to be specifically about my writing, focusing on it, keeping it in my face with pinpoint precision. On my personal blog, I don’t have too much excitement about the New Year. It’s coming, whether I [...]

Just found this excellent post that I’m planning to put to good use in 2010. Thought I’d share it!
It’s from Year Zero Writers
As writers and creators of content, more and more we’re finding it necessary to turn to the Internet to showcase our work. While we cannot be in several places at the same time, it’s [...]
