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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

Happy Sunday on a 3 day weekend! I’m busy writing away my weekend. The original list has been updated with word challenge progress. Three more submissions are in the bag and to the editors. I’ll tell you more about those as we go on. I have two more to finish before I’m happy this weekend. [...]

Personal Writing Challenge Update

Good-NESS it’s been a record-breaking day for me. I have completed three projects today as well as getting one halfway done. Long day. Two other projects have been completed in the previous week or so. So without further ado, I have completed the following projects: A free read for Changeling Press’s Ezine Ginger Snaps: Serendipity [...]

Whiskey Straight Update

Update! I’ve completed Round 2 of Masqued Tails! Yaaaay. Man I’m wore out. Also I’ll be adding a prologue. LOL. My editor’s idea, actually. I love it. lol. My Triangle story involving shifting Jaguars and Cougars is going very well. Only a minor hitch in the writing and my editor helped me smooth that one [...]

PWC update

Well, with first round edits for Masqued Tails on my table, my word count was a little lower today. Only 1200 done but I feel great about it! For those who remember my poll from July (wow has it been that long???)…I’ve started that novel. I hope everyone’s having a good week and I’m off [...]
