My writing journey is chugging right along... full steam ahead. I've completed week 10 and have my sights on all the great things that are going to happen in week 11, as the road to the completion of my written manuscript winds down. My report for week 10 has to start with the not so … Continue reading Writing with Focus
Wise Saying #6
Wow! It's hard to believe that the "Wise Sayings" series is about to wrap up. This realization is definitely confirming the fact that time stands still for no one; and more and more, I'm feeling the effects of a sped-up existence. Everything is rush this and rush that. And, no matter the amount of effort … Continue reading Wise Saying #6
Outlining and Self-Publishing
I can't believe that I'm at week 10 already. Can I ask time to slow down a bit? Please? Okay, that was a rhetorical question in which I already know the answer. Time stands still for no man. So, I guess I'd better keep plugging right along with it. Week 9... week 9... what can … Continue reading Outlining and Self-Publishing
Wise Saying #5
The past four Wise Sayings were like epiphanies that floated down to my brain and instantly spoke to a situation I was dealing with at the time or had dealt with in the recent past, resembled a call to action that has been on my mind for some time, or emphasized a better way of … Continue reading Wise Saying #5
My Comeback Week
You can call me the "Comeback Kid", if you don't mind. I pulled myself up by the bootstraps and came back with a writing vengeance in week 8. As you may recall from my report in last week's post, there was a whole week's writing deficit that I needed to make up in week 8. … Continue reading My Comeback Week

The following quote came from a home Bible study that my Husband conducted for the family the other day. As … Continue reading Wise Saying #4
Temporary Writing Set-Backs
I'm going to be really transparent with you today. Week 7 at the DOM Writer's Block was pretty much a dud. I absolutely missed my weekly writing goal by a lot. Reason being? There was an unforeseen antagonist that swooped in from Uninvitedland and forcibly put up some substantial roadblocks that negatively affected my ability … Continue reading Temporary Writing Set-Backs
“Wise Saying #3” Quotable
Wise Saying #3
It's been awhile since I put up a Jana's Quotable, so I thought it was about time to spring another one on you. (Pun intended. I don't know about you but I'm so incredibly happy that it's officially springtime. Woo Hoo!) I'm sure there's some variation of my wise saying out there in the atmosphere; … Continue reading Wise Saying #3
Writing Oddities and Organization
I am happy to announce that, with all of the obstacles that seemed to present themselves directly in my face last week, I was still able to achieve my weekly word count goal. I'm not going to say that all my currently typed-up words are in pristine shape with no possibility of revision, but I … Continue reading Writing Oddities and Organization
