Today is the first day of October. This year has seemed to fly by, and yet it’s been the longest year of my life. I’m told that grief is like that. Today is also the 10th day in a row that I’ve written on Advent. I’ve got an accountability buddy, and it’s really working. …

Starting the new project officially
Posted on May 7, 2017
Started the novel over again today, mostly by cutting some words I’d put in before. The net gain for the day is 303. Slowly but surely. Time to get to the grocery store and the pharmacy before I head home and work on some kumihimo and reading and getting ready for work tomorrow. Word Meter …

A week in review
Posted on January 18, 2017
Wednesdays are going to be my week in review, moving forward. It’s a good day to stop and take a look at the last week (Sunday through Saturday) and see what I’ve accomplished (or not accomplished). Last week, I was sick, so this week in review is not going to be as long …
Writing groups versus critique groups, and why you should have both
Posted on January 15, 2017
