Lost Time and Pivot!

Where in the world did December go?? I felt the month of December was a holding time, as if I was slowly, excruciatingly just waiting around for something to happen. Maybe for the busyness of the holidays to be over. Or maybe it was because I was working hard to set my goals for 2019. […]

Day 19 NaNoWriMo- A Productive Day!

I woke up before my 4:15 am alarm today excited to write! Relatively pain free, and I knew exactly where I wanted my story to go. These are the awesome days, the days I yearn to be a full time (at home) writer. I qualify the full time part because most weeks I get in […]

Day 9-17 NaNoWriMo- what happened??? #

I’ve still been writing, just not as much and I totally slacked off my blog. 😦 So what happened and why? First there was the 20booksVegas conference. Amazing. Inspiring. Exhausting. Then I went to San Diego to visit my kids for the weekend. I love hanging out with my kids and grand babies!!! Both trips […]

Day 8 NaNoWriMo – Time Management as a Theme

Day 8 blog – but I was so tired last night I didn’t hit publish. So I’m doing it bright and early before my flight out of sin city! :] The 20Books Vegas conference has been amazing. And exhausting. I’ve taken a small notebook worth of notes and it will take a few weeks to […]

Day 7 NaNoWriMo- Being Creative for a Living!

583 words this morning!! Yay! The 20BooksVegas sessions started earlier today but I still managed some good words in my Delta 3 novel! I had a sweet email from a friend whose daughter has read all 7 of my YA space opera books and is anxiously waiting for this next one! 💜 This is what […]

Day 6 NaNoWriMo… not very many words today

First full day of the conference and I only got in 383 words this morning before the sessions started. But as I heard most of the day from different speakers and peers, it’s consistency and passion that matters most. We will all have days that don’t go quite right or life happens and we can’t […]

Day 5 #nanowrimo!

I ended up at the airport four hours early this morning – so got lots of words in! Glad I did since we’ve being going non stop here in Las Vegas. 🙂 Sometimes you need to get out of your routine in order to fill your creative tank. New experiences, new acquaintances, new food. The […]

NaNoWriMo Day 4 – Words and Planning!

Stopped at 1466 words to make sure I left time to backup my computer. The rest of the day was spent packing and planning! Packing for Vegas! Heading to the 20BooksVegas conference tomorrow morning! I’m pretty good at writing while traveling so I hope to get a lot of words in before touch down in […]

Day 3 NaNoWriMo – quiet day!

Got my words in today, but even better is that I like the scene I wrote!! It started wandering yesterday so I had to get it back on track. These are the days when it really helps to write every day. When I miss a few days of writing on a first draft, it might […]

Day 2 Boise Rocks the #nanowrimo
