On Sunday I finished the first draft of Fated to Darkness and since then...I have felt like a lost puppy. I've sat on my desk chair spinning in a circle because I haven't known what to work on. I'm so used to working on FtD for so long now that it feels weird to not … Continue reading Now What?

Final Days and Final Chapters
This is it. In more ways than one. The final days of Camp NaNo are here. Only three days left to write to get the win. Now is the time to push hard and commit yourself to losing sleep if you still have a long way to go. (I'm not the only one who does … Continue reading Final Days and Final Chapters
Five More Days
Five more days. There's just five more days left to the first Camp NaNoWriMo of 2017. Remember on Friday I had said I had a huge writing sprint of 8.2k words and had caught up to par and even surpassed it again, even finishing the chapter I was on? Remember that I was excited and … Continue reading Five More Days
Gaining Momentum
We are officially in the home stretch of April's Camp NaNo madness. Only nine days left. Yesterday the site officially announced that validating had begun, and to those who don't follow NaNoWriMo that means that there's no more changing your goal. It is set in stone now so if you're slacking, you better light a fire under your butt and … Continue reading Gaining Momentum
Could’ve, Should’ve…Didn’t
How do you write a blog post when you have absolutely nothing writing related to talk about? The answer is I don't know, but I guess I'll figure it out as I go because that's exactly what I'm doing right now. You would think that because I've had the last four straight days off work … Continue reading Could’ve, Should’ve…Didn’t
Struggling Through Camp
You know what's a major distraction from writing? Sunshine. Warm weather. Eighty degree weather. An all around beautiful day in which it is too nice to stay inside with your butt glued to a chair writing. I had all the plans in the world to take my day off yesterday and just write. Simply go dark … Continue reading Struggling Through Camp
Camp Creatures And Eureka! Moments
Happy Camp NaNoWriMo! The first plunge into madness for 2017 has finally begun! Hooray! I'll be honest, I'm quite a fan of the banners and icons they have for Camp this year. They even named some creatures to pertain to writing and novels. Like the infamous, abundant Plot Bunny pictured above on the banner. I'm not … Continue reading Camp Creatures And Eureka! Moments
Ready Or Not, Here Comes Camp NaNo
Does anyone remember me mentioning several times throughout the last three months that my plan was to finish Fated to Darkness before the start of Camp NaNo so I could use Camp to write Clockwork Heart? Well, regarding those plans, Camp NaNo is only three days away from starting now and... Holy shit there's only three … Continue reading Ready Or Not, Here Comes Camp NaNo
Mission To Write
Happy Spring! The coming of Spring seems to have given me the kick in the ass I've been needing. Or maybe it was a combination of things that lit the fire under me until fingers started flying over keys again. I think it was more of a domino effect of a few things, starting with … Continue reading Mission To Write
Freedom To Write
I'm finally freeeee! And by free I mean the Hell Seasons of work are finally over! Hooray! Well, the worst of the Hell Seasons are over -- Black Friday/Christmas and inventory -- there's still one other Hell Season left: Easter. And from there everything just kind of starts rolling like a snowball down a giant hill until … Continue reading Freedom To Write
