Inspiration comes from everywhere. For me it does, anyway. And in this case it came in the form of a freckle on my adorable cocker spaniel puppy, Selby (@selbysweetie on Instagram). … More Inspired by a freckle
I did it! Over 6,000 words later and 9 days past deadline but I did it!!! The February short story is finally done. It was a different genre (ghost story) than I’ve done before so that made it challenging and all the more rewarding! … More February Story- Finally Done!
I plan on posting an ALL DONE post later today for my February story. I just have to tie up a few loose ends. So expect an excited report from me soon. … More Progress Report: Almost Done
Since I’m not actually posting the stories here I suppose I could lie and say I finished my February story and you would never know. But I would know and I don’t want to be Pinocchio 🤥 on this blog. So here’s where I admit I haven’t yet finished my February story. … More Oops- Didn’t quite finish
I’m way behind on my monthly story (especially considering tomorrow is the last day of the month). Binge-watching the Olympics (and following Olympians on Social Media) and a bad headache haven’t helped me focus. However, it’s only February and I don’t plan on abandoning my goal of a year of monthly short stories after just one month. … More Procrastinating because of the Olympics
I suppose it’s apropos that it’s nearing Valentine’s Day and I’m craving something. For the first time in years I’m actually craving the characters in the story I’m writing and not chocolate. Oh who am I kidding. I’m always craving chocolate. 🍫 … More Craving Characters
I did it! A little more under the wire than I wanted but I finished my January short story and my first story in this self-imposed monthly short story project. Cue music (that we’ve already established I can’t hear, but cue it anyway)! (Snoopy, you can start your happy dance now.) … More Finish Line Crossed: I finished my January short story!
An update on my January monthly short story. I just wanted to happily say/brag (who am I kidding… BRAG) that I am getting some good writing done on my monthly short story today. I don’t want to jinx it or anything but I could actually finish my story ahead of schedule (which is rare for me as I’m the ULTIMATE procrastinator). If the yearly goal is starting out this way maybe that’s a good sign! … More Am Writing #amwriting
I announce the topic of my January short story and the working title (which I don’t love, but it’s just a placeholder until genius strikes)! … More January Story: Calling all superheroes
An introduction to this blog and what this project is all about. I can finish the sentence “I’ve always wanted to be a…” By saying “… published author.” Hopefully I end 2018 closer to completing that sentence. This blog will hopefully help me to get there. As Tina Fey’s character on 30 Rock said “I want to go to there.” … More I’ve always wanted to be a…
