Goals for the weekend

| September 7, 2012

So my friend Folly, posted about her goals for the weekend writing retreat. And I just spent a couple of minutes figuring mine out, in the form of a ridiculously formatted and color-coded word document. But I realized that while the color-coded word document is pretty, it does nothing to actually keep me on target. […]

Friday recap is back!

| May 18, 2012

Yeah, I know. I haven’t remembered to recap for a while. My bad. Then again, I haven’t had a lot to recap. See, hubbie found this MMO, and it’s all been downhill from there. It’s got me sucked in, which means that most of my spare time is now spent gardening and trying to level. […]

| April 12, 2012

First off, I’ve got another review up, this one of Akata Witch. Writing has been glacial recently. I’d say I haven’t had a lot of time, but that’s really only partially true. Mostly, I just need to buckle down on some revisions, which I’m hoping to do tonight and over the weekend. I also need […]

Friday recap

| April 6, 2012

This week has been pretty slow on the writing front. The hubbie went on vacation sick, and I came home sick. It’s not totally clear if this is actually a cold or just allergies, but either way, the effect is the same. Can’t brain, has the dumb. But I did get a bit of work […]
