Life Writing – Journal Entry #2
Happy Sunday, All! I woke up early with a little writing on my mind and feeling so thankful to see another beautiful day.

Fine-Tuning the Writing
Happy Monday, All! I hope everyone is looking forward to a bright and productive week. I know I am, because my editor already returned my manuscript back to me. What?! Already? I'm not ready! My editor is awesome, yes. But he gave me an assignment that involves some more writing on my part, NO! Realistically, … Continue reading Fine-Tuning the Writing

I've shared many of them with you along the way. However, today's post is an effort to bring the main insights of this continuing saga into a more condensed … Continue reading Writing Momentum (Part Two)
First Draft Manuscript is DONE!
What a wonderful day in the neighborhood. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and the adrenaline is pumping and keeping me going after getting only 3.5 hours of sleep. (Unfortunately, I'm getting way too comfortable with the lack of sleep these days). It's for a good reason, though. I look at it this … Continue reading First Draft Manuscript is DONE!
