Not surprisingly, this week wasn't very productive. It's not that I didn't write, it's just that I did very little of it. Why? Because it's May--the month before Summer Reading. And so basically from now through August that's where my concentration needs to be. I'm going to be living at the library for the next… Continue reading SUMMER READING! *insert confetti*
It is sent. My goal remains in tact. Not much more to say--I've been writing as I can, though life has gotten busy again. Summer Reading is on the horizon, which is like the Super Bowl for librarians. Lots of prep and planning take place in the month or so before it officially starts. And… Continue reading Query #4 and Summer Reading
This week was a little slower. A bit more time spent reading than writing. Though I am starting to plan out the blog for next month, working on poems primarily. I will say, this blog has forced me to get back in touch with the poet side of me. I haven't written poetry this regularly… Continue reading Remembering the Poet in Me
Not much to report this week. Still writing. I've actually gone back to the story I was working on for this past NaNoWriMo. I got a little bit of inspiration... which came in a burst of frustration. Oh well, at least it's constructive. Onward and upward, I suppose. Oh, and I need to start thinking… Continue reading Returning to NaNoWriMo
Alright... query letter sent. Check-list for March is done. (Better late than never, right?) Now to dive into April. Since I have that other manuscript edited, sending off other queries will be much easier. I've also been working on material for the blog, particularly poems and stories. I've been making some nice progress on Plugged… Continue reading Planning vs. Pantsing
So... you know how I said last week I was almost ready to send off another query? Guess who is still "almost" ready. Life got a little busy--a few long days at work, some chores around the house that really needed to get done... and, to be totally honest... there was also a REALLY good… Continue reading Running a Little Late
Alright, end of the month.... You know what that means! Query letter time! I still have a little bit revising/rewriting to do. But I think, before the end of the month, I'll be able to send it off. This manuscript is actually a different story. The first two rejection letters came from a novel that,… Continue reading Almost Ready
Not too much to report except that I've been on a rewriting/revising spree. I think I'm close to being able to send off a query letter for one of my newly-edited stories. I've still got some March left, so hopefully that will be finished in time for me to meet my "1 query letter a… Continue reading Revise, Rewrite, Repeat
Okay, here we go. Am I better morning person now? Eh.... I made progress. In fact, today I'm going to make a list of all the things I accomplished these past couple weeks thanks to some earlier rising. (Not as early as I would like, but definitely a move in the right direction.) Here we… Continue reading A Reminder to Future Me
Not much to report this week. A lot of writing. A lot of trying to get out of bed early--sometimes making it, sometimes falling back to sleep on the couch. I've been tackling to-do lists and projects and planning content for the blog. But I also wanted to take another moment to say thank you.… Continue reading Thank You
