You want to know my secret? Keep reading. First, I have to explain that I’ve done Nano six times, and never reached the 50K mark in […]

She usually does these the first month of each quarter and has at least ten of us signed up for this one (there’s still time to join in if you like). Unlike Nanowrimo, which requires you to write a 50K minimum novel in November […]

Never heard of winter sowing? Read my article here, it’s a two-parter. It’s a great way to save major bucks […]

She tells us we must post our goals on our blogs, so here they are: I know my August goal was to finish writing SAB—but I didn’t. So that’s on my to-do list. To get it to my normal length it would take about 30K, […]

August is just beginning so it’s time to set new ones–two goals this month: 1) finish my rough draft of SAB 2) Get over the heartbreak of red ink dripping […]

I’m going to blame my laptop being in for repairs for the past few weeks for part of my slackerliness because using my husband’s computer is a major pain (and I can’t always get it online). But my near-absence from all thing online has brought […]

I’m probably just dreaming anyway. But check back here Wednesdays for some reviews/author interviews for some great new books that are coming up. I plan to review every Wednesday, starting with next week when I’m giving away a FREE copy of […]

Last year my duck eggs were all duds–not a fertile one in the bunch, so I was really excited when I checked these and saw growth after the first week. Now the first batch has hatched I love watching them play. See how cute these little ones are? […]

She has been calling them her book-in-a-month challenges, but since some of us are planning to edit, it’s whatever writing goal we want to accomplish. I didn’t do so hot last time, but my goal for this challenge for this month is to get my edits done […]

I don’t know how she manages to keep up with them all, and her kids, and her writing, etc, etc, but she’s amazing (and she’s a dang awesome writer too). Anyway, on her blog Tristi’s Challenges, she’s got more than two dozen writers gearing up for another […]
