Welcome to the final Friday Fess-Up of 2017! Damn I did a lot of work this week. Practically none of it was writing. Overall, I’d been doing pretty well, but then it got cold. Really cold. And I spent a few days covering windows, and looking for cold air leaks. I’m fortunate enough to have …
Welcome to December 22nd. You’ve made it through the long dark of the year. From this point on, the days will be getting longer. Soon yes, so very soon, the time will be upon us once more: Barbecue Season. I’ve been burning vacation time since the 18th, and I’ve gotta say that I needed the …
I actually had to pull up the calendar to jog my memory of what went on this week. The days seemed filled with snow. Not that we got a whole lot, comparatively speaking, but we did get a bunch during the middle of the week and it took up quite a bit of mental energy. …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Hey, all. Welcome to November. If you’re like a lot of folk I know, you’ll be participating in a little event they call NaNoWriMo this month. You’re already three days in. Some of you are are track, and some of you aren’t. As I said on the 26th, I don’t normally do NaNoWriMo, primarily because …
So I’m having one of those weeks where I don’t remember much of what happened. It was Sunny – n – Seventy on Saturday and I spent the day doing ALL THE THINGS outside. Then there was an epic grilling session. So no writing on Saturday and Sunday, which isn’t unusual. Monday, I got up …
