Wife. Mommy. Nerd. Writer.
Can you believe that NaNoWriMo was created nearly 20 years ago? Wow! I've been waffling back and forth between whether or not I should participate. Although I've got client work, in reality, I don't work as many hours as if I were working outside of the house, so there's no real excuse not to.... Continue Reading →
Still plucking away at this story and since we're nearly done with the month you could say I've not hit my goal... YET! Still trying to maintain the habit of writing every day. Some days I do, some I don't, but as long as the "do's" outnumber the "don'ts" I'll feel like I'm making progress!... Continue Reading →
If it's not something in my world sidetracking me, it's my own brain! Some work got done today, but not nearly as much as I'd wanted. This means, of course, that I'm stacked up into tomorrow. Sigh...at least it's not as nuts as last week! As for the sidetracking part...I've been thinking a lot lately about... Continue Reading →
Busy day today: Start on client blog that should have been done on Friday of last week Homeschool Doctor's appointment Dinner Finally, get back to and finish blog number one by 8:30 pm, then blog number two by 10:47 pm Then one...yes one sentence on the short story...the same one that I wanted to have...

Last week was a crazy week...lots of client work (yeah!) but not enough writing my own stuff (boo!). Ah, the delicate balance. Rather than a ballerina prancing around the stage, however, we're talking Lucille Ball working at the chocolate factory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NPzLBSBzPI Messy, messy, messy! Still working on story number two for the year, but will... Continue Reading →
Although I'm not using the expression as the original meaning intended, in our modern vernacular, it seems to fit. Sometimes it feels like I've been placed under the "Sword of Damocles" - or rather, that I've placed myself there, by pushing myself to write every day. But what nonsense is this? I love to write....

It's been a crazy busy week - haven't stopped back by, but so far so good...only missed one day writing so far - yesterday. Every other day, I've been writing something on this second story. Have absolutely no clue where it's going or how it's going to end, but that's what's so fun about it!... Continue Reading →
Yeah! Had a bit of an inspiration this weekend, wrote a flash fiction short story, and even submitted it to an online flash fiction paying market. The title is What's a Housewife to Do and is less than 800 words long, so obviously a flash fiction. Week two short story is now in progress - the plan... Continue Reading →
Very little - maybe a sentence or two - on the story tonight. Oy...and I promised myself I'd make every effort to write one per week! Then, on top of that, I've got two client blogs to write tomorrow, plus 9 more to wrap up next week. Pressure much??? Arghhh!!! Ah well, off to bed... Continue Reading →
