Mine has words on it.   Wanna read two of them? The End. It’s three a.m.  I’m too tired.  It’s not sinking in yet.  

Today and tomorrow are being dedicated to the hard push.  I have a couple of chapters to finish.  It’s getting difficult at this point because I’ve been sitting sooo much.  In the future, I’m sticking to the daily word count and then jogging or something.  I feel so incredibly restless–so, yeah, I’ve been pushing.  Yet,…

I’m here, just trying to adjust to the Daylight Saving’s change.  I’m one of those people who takes at least a week to acclimate.  I really see no point in this since we have to turn our lights on in the morning now, anyway.  But we train our minds to awaken at certain times in…

   Lavender Swirl, Lower Antelope Canyon, Navajo Reservation, Arizona.The photographer is Kenneth Parker.  More than worth the time to visit.  Stunning!  Okay, I would delete the last post but too many people read it.  In fact, I was six people away from breaking the 200 reader mark today!  How exciting.  I’m so curious about all…

I had a crazy weekend.  Not one word written since Thursday.  The worst thing about a three day break at this point in the book is it slows momentum–big time.  But the other bad thing is my mind is pretty much stuck in my urban fantasy setting right now and all weekend, my characters were stomping…

I didn’t shut down that late last night.  I typed my last page and hit 3000 words around 12:30.  Man, I was happy with myself for sticking to my guns, but this picture pretty much shows how I felt about that time I turned the puter off. Until I got into bed!  My mind would not…

Today was somewhat frustrating.  No word count as of yet.  That’s two days this week, so I’ll have to make it up tonight. I couldn’t continue because two things happened.  One, a new character popped up into a scene yesterday like one of those bopping moles in that Whack a Mole game.  But… I just loved…

Sometimes, you have to force yourself to take a break.  My legs are numb and I can no longer feel my butt.  <g> I came into my office at nine this morning, planning to work straight through until four-thirty.  I’ve been munching on baby carrots and drinking bottled water and I swear, I had to…

Me after seeing the topic Heather gave me “off the top of her head.”  Yeah, right.  She’s had an evil plan all along. The topic? “Write about a government mandated vaccine for psychic cat scratch disease.”
