Happy (Finally) Friday Y’All!!! So here’s what I’ve been up to this week: If you’ve been following from last week, I hopped into Nephele Tempest’s December writing challenge. The Challenge is to write every day in December. Yes, even those days. No word count involved. Write. Even if it’s only one word. Write. Every. Day. Note that …
Yes, I realize that this post should have happened earlier, but this is my blog and I can schedule stuff when I want. Besides, this weekend was pretty dark out there in the ‘verse and, it might be a good time to focus on the good stuff for a spell. So, in no particular order, …
Well, you win some… And I’m not even going to finish that line. Earlier I mentioned that, while not “officially” signing up for NaNoWriMo, I was going to try and give it a shot anyway. I fell way short. How short? Out of the attempted 50,000 words, at the final second of November, I had around …

What I did: Ate what was probably a criminal amount of turkey. And Mashed Potatoes And Pie…enough pie to make Dean Winchester suggest that, maybe I ought to ease up a bit. There may have been an adult beverage or two. And some cold turkey, right on the cusp of midnight, as one does… What …
And, no, that isn’t meant to be a Song of Ice and Fire reference. I meant that literally. As I’m sitting at my desk, writing this, I can look out my window and see the first “Real” snow falling. I use the quotes because what I’m looking at isn’t mixed with anything – it isn’t …
This week it was all about The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. I did write every day this week (so far, and I’m planning on getting some words down on Saturday) and that’s good, but it’s not THE good that I’m referring to. Let me walk you through it in reverse order. The Ugly …
So I learned something about myself this November. I am not much of a sprint writer. For those of you that don’t know, writing sprints are – well – probably exactly what you think they might be. Writers will sit down, either singularly or in groups, set a time limit, and, for that time, write …
Sleep and word count. Word count and sleep. That’s what the focus of this Fess-Up post is all about. Last Friday, I was down in Kentucky. I came back on Sunday, so needless to say that wasn’t the most productive of weekends. I don’t want to get too deep into exact word counts, suffice it …
This is going to be a quick update, because I just got back from a weekend in Kentucky ending with a really long car ride. So let me say a few things before I get to decompressing: First: Kentucky – I had a great time. It was kind of a Micro-writing retreat, because Saturday was …
