    April Camp Nano and Other Happenings

    April 5, 2017 /

    Oh geez.  It’s been a while since I last posted.  Between finishing up initial revisions to get my book ready for beta readers and everyday life, there hasn’t been much to report.  But I suppose I should do a post just so it appears I’m not dead.  Besides, I need to document that I’ve been busy these last couple of months. First up, revisions!  I spent a good chunk of time going through and revising my book, Entangle.  I wanted to get it polished up enough to have initial beta readers give it a go.  I set a deadline for myself to have it out for betas on my birthday…

The time I would devote to social media or writing a blog post, I’ve spent working on the rewrite instead. And I find that I’m okay with that. I enjoy the Twitter writing games but they aren’t as important as finishing the rewrite. I do miss the interaction with other people but there’s always time for that later.   I’ve been withdrawing more and more in the afternoons and evenings to work…

    Friday!

    November 4, 2016 /

    Yay!  It’s Friday and day 4 of Nanowrimo!  So far so good for me this Nano but I don’t want to jinx it so I won’t put into words just how awesome and great I feel like this week has been going.  Or, you know, more words than I just did. Tomorrow, Saturday, November 5th is Double up Donation day for Nanowrimo.  It’s a day that encourages you to double your daily or total Nano word count and to also double up your donations to the site.  There will be virtual write-ins and word prompts all day long and a chance to win awesome prizes all day long on the…
