Since this is the final stretch for July's Camp NaNo session -- only three days left! -- I figured I would talk about deadlines and how they either help a writer or stress them out, depending on the type of writer you are. No matter what kind of writer you are in the face of deadlines, there is … Continue reading Deadlines: A Writer’s Best Friend, or Worst Enemy?

Progress Is Progress
Hello, world. Somehow I have once again managed to find my way to the surface to post. Truthfully, I had every intention of posting at the beginning of this month and keeping up with it this time. I even had all my Writer's Guide topics laid out for each week this month! That's a miracle! … Continue reading Progress Is Progress
Gearing Up For Camp NaNo
The Evil Day Job and writing don't always mix nicely, especially when you work in soul-sucking retail. Sometimes it seems impossible to be able to unplug from work and find time, or energy, to write once you make it home -- hopefully in one piece. And other times...it really is impossible. I am going to hate myself … Continue reading Gearing Up For Camp NaNo
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
Emotions-5, Daelyn-O
Well I did it. I took the biggest plunge of my life in my writing so far and submitted the short story to the anthology at about 1am on Saturday. (To me it was still Friday but according to the clocks it was Saturday.) I am still terrified. Literally, after setting up the email and attaching … Continue reading Emotions-5, Daelyn-O
Light A Fire Under Me
The second Camp NaNoWriMo starts in a week again and once more I am crazy enough to dive into it. Just like last Camp, I'm going to be working on the same fantasy novel that I'm taking snippets from on Sundays, Darkness Becomes Her. I just have to make sure I know where I'm going … Continue reading Light A Fire Under Me
No Time Like The Present
It's my first day off work in six days. Well, really, it's my only day off before I go back to work for two more days. Only then do I get a three day weekend afterwards. Finally. I'm in desperate need of one. With the promotion at work starting with some hitches, other stress, and now some sort of … Continue reading No Time Like The Present
Falling Behind
Well, in my final mad dash to make goal for Camp last week, I neglected quite a few things. And I have yet to get caught back up. It was mainly the club I belong to that I have fallen behind on, and once I fall behind there it is near impossible to catch back … Continue reading Falling Behind
Motivation Will Be My Downfall… Or Rather, The Lack Thereof
So I had this whole blog idea formed out in my head for what I was going to write for today and then, well, let's just say I got distracted to put things lightly. My biggest problem right now is motivation, or rather, the lack thereof. You see, originally, this post was supposed to be … Continue reading Motivation Will Be My Downfall… Or Rather, The Lack Thereof
