70 Days of Sweat have Returned!

The highly motivated, deliciously sweaty, and full of raw goodness is back. Who? Sven, baby! 70 Days of sweat, founded by the generous Alison Kent, is launching it’s fourth round of writing madness on the 10th of November. It lasts until the 26th of January (two days after my birthday!). So come on over to the [...]

Interested in Speedwriting?

Speedwriting: A positive writing environment where people post their individual word count. A timekeeper will then begin a speedwriting session with a sound effect. The “race” will commence for 15-20 minutes (everyone should be writing at this point, so no traffic at the chat). At the end of that time, the timekeeper will play another [...]

No Wicked Wednesday? How 'bout a New Release?

It’s release week! Masqued Tails is NOW AVAILABLE at Changeling Press!!! Official Blurbage: Trapped! Magickal null Alaya Bellemore is stuck in a mansion where murder-mystery games become a little too real, midnight encounters with a certain shape-shifting fox becomes the norm, and even the walls and doors are alive. Shad’s been trapped for far longer [...]

The New Wips List

I am a dreamer/enthusiastic and will occasionally bite off more than I can chew. I know this. Which is why I’ve giving you an updated list for the remainder of the year. Instead of the infinite possibilities, I’ll have a very small and controlled list. So without further ado: THE LIST Complete Edits on Ginger [...]

Nanowrimo is on its way!

National Novel Writing Month: A cultural phenomenon that unifies over 100,000 people from across the globe in one awe-inspiring goal: write 50,000 words of new content in thirty days. It lasts the 30 days of November so starts in less than one week. My goal for the year is simple: 75,000 words for my new [...]

Saturday Sniffles

Blech. It’s cold season (sniffles, headaches, blechs) in the Montgomery household. So I’m busy making character cards for my Nanowrimo book (starts in November! One week away!!!). I’ve also stumbled into the phenomena that is Google Docs. Let me tell you, this is saving my bacon. I’m putting all my character work there (no more [...]

Wicked Wednesday

If you missed last week’s Wicked Wednesday, you missed the start of Angel’s story, my persona from LAW. Please note that this is just a fun free read and I hope you have a great time with it. All content is © Dawn Montgomery. Enjoy! Let me know what you think in comments. Read Part [...]

Whiskey Straight Update

Okay, so I was bummed today b/c I haven’t “done much” writing since the 12th (my last official PWC Update). I mean, sure there was that 14K rush I did last weekend, but nothing really since then right? Well, I suppose I was wrong. There’s a reason I don’t look at word completion until the [...]

Sunday Spotlight

Let’s see what’s up with some of my favorite haunts around the web: Mouthwatering Numminess from Cooking by the Seat of My Pants. Can you taste the decadence? I loooove cheesecake. Perfect to keep me going when I forget to eat for 10 hours. *ducks* Is my husband reading this? Finally! A strawberry lemonade that [...]

A moment to reflect…

As some of you know I’m on Twitter. A mini blogging tool that lets you drop messages on the fly from your mobile device anywhere/anytime. And at 140 characters or less, you can get some pretty cool messages out there. There are a few things you should understand, though. If you haven’t delved into the [...]
