I decided to close out this eventful week with a little humor. They say laughter is good for you. So, in recognition of the importance of your overall well-being, I dedicate this reblog to your health and pray that it can put an upward curl to your lips today. I originally posted this piece on … Continue reading Reblog – A Little Manuscript Humor
Since I posted Reblog – The Road to Authorship last week, I thought it fitting to have today's reblog backtrack almost exactly 6 months to this very day. What could have been happening at that point in time? Yep, you've probably figured it out from the blatantly clear title . . . my first draft manuscript for … Continue reading Reblog – First Draft Manuscript is DONE!
While many writers are in NaNoWriMo mode, I'm navigating through "Operation Manuscript Revisions". For me, the month of November will be all about tightening up the first draft and functioning in edit mode. However, I'm going to come clean and admit that I didn't quite make my deadline to have the first draft completed by … Continue reading Writing Goals for Remainder of 2019 – Weekly Report 5
Here are a few funnies for you. Maybe you can relate, maybe not. Either way, you'll possibly chuckle a time or two (or at the least, break into an awkward grin). How I'm feeling at the end of my second manuscript: This first draft manuscript is a hot mess and will need tons of editing … Continue reading A Little Manuscript Humor
Happy Monday, All! I hope you had a blessed weekend and got to do something just for you (even if it was to veg out at home and rest a ton). We are thigh deep in the last quarter of 2019. In hindsight, I say this all the time, when this time of year comes … Continue reading Writing Goals for Remainder of 2019 – Weekly Report 4
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 missed you guys! I was only away on my mother/daughter trip for four days, but it seems like an eternity since I last communicated with you. I have to admit that I enjoyed my downtime immensely, and the added bonus was the opportunity to spend it with my daughter. But, I'm glad to be … Continue reading What a Vaca Will Do
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!
I didn't want to make the title of this post too long, so I settled with "Writing Momentum (Part One)". However, if I'd gone with my original, more lengthy title, today's reflection would have been named "Writing Momentum... All the Little Things (Part One)". Week 11 encapsulated all the mini lessons that I've learned over … Continue reading Writing Momentum (Part One)
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
