  • Pre-Palooza

    My pre-write-a-palooza is officially over since I’m heading to bed. I wrote exactly 5021 words tonight! That’s actually quite impressive since I also took time to work out. I’m definitely happy with that number! So, according to my husband’s rules for write-a-palooza, that gives me an added 5 packs to the 5,000 word reward tomorrow, bringing it up to 8 packs of the HK trading cards (or $24). The 10K reward now goes up an additional 10 packs for a whopping total of 20 packs (or $60) plus the 5k reward since I win both if I make it to 10,000…

  • WRITE-A-PALOOZA

    I am now officially embarking on a me only write-a-palooza. I’m way behind on my rough draft work for DEMONS FOREVER. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been thinking about it ALL the time, but the thinking has only translated so far into about 11,000 words. My self-imposed deadline now to finish the rough draft is September 5th, which is only 13 days away. I’ve got to get crackin! So over lunch today, my husband suggested a fun challenge for me. Since he is, after all, my muse, he likes to find ways to encourage and motivate me. And since he knows…

  • Inner Ear Fiasco

    Hi everyone! Sorry I haven’t updated the blog much this week, but on Monday I had to go in to the doctor because I’d been having dizzy spells and feeling super tired. Turns out there was fluid on my inner ear causing some equilibrium issues. Yuck! I’m still feeling a little bit off today, and this week has been mostly about resting and trying to get healthy. I also found out today that the reason I’m so tired is that I’m severely deficient in Vitamin D. Fun! No, no, not fun. At least I know there’s a reason behind it,…

  • Getting Excited!

    My work on DEMONS FOREVER has really just begun. I haven’t actually written a word of it yet, to be honest, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been working on it. Mostly, I’ve been going over my notes and working on the story-line. I think of all the books I’ve written so far, this one makes me the most nervous. Knowing the series is coming to an end is difficult. I want to make sure to wrap up all the loose ends. I want to answer all the questions that need to be answered. And I want to give all…

  • Fictional Friends

    You know those characters you can’t get enough of? I’m talking about fictional characters. People in movies and books that you get into so much, you feel like you actually know them. I blogged about Harry Potter earlier this week, and I would definitely include Hermione, Ron and Harry in my list of “fictional friends”. These are people I wish I could know in real life. They are so well written, you feel that they must actually exist somewhere. My favorite TV show of all time is Sex & The City. Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda became my friends over…
