I haven’t done a WIP Wednesday in quite a while. Why is that, I wonder? Oh yeah, because I look at my WIP folder and my eyes bug out of my head. Like this. First thing, I’m trying with the utmost valor to finish my demon novel ASAP so that my writer’s group can comb [...]

WIP Wednesday: Writing (and migraine) Updates!
Posted in Writing, tagged clean eating, doing scary things, migraines, NaNoWriMo, WIP Wednesday on September 22, 2010 | 12 Comments »
It’s been a while since I could look at WIP Wednesday without guilt. Usually I’m thinking, “Man, I’m so behind! I didn’t achieve anything,” blah blah blah. But today I’m completely satisfied. My goal is to have the Williams Syndrome project in the hands of my agent by Halloween. This gives me incentive to push [...]
WIP Wednesday: I Kick Fear In The Face
Posted in Writing, tagged fear, ninja kick, starting a new novel, WIP Wednesday on September 8, 2010 | 16 Comments »
I started a new novel yesterday. I was going to save it for NaNoWriMo, but my writer’s group cuffed me across the shoulders and told me to drop that nonsense. They are firmly of the mind that waiting two months would let the creative spark die, and they’re right. They’re wise guys…er, smart people. It’s actually the [...]
WIP Wednesday: Today I Rock
Posted in Writing, tagged Murphy's Law, rock on, why is the universe out to get me?, WIP Wednesday on May 12, 2010 | 10 Comments »
It’s still officially Wednesday for another hour, so this still counts. This has been THE WORST WEEK EVER. I swear, Murphy’s Law has been in full effect! Every dumb little annoying thing that can happen HAS happened. Mix-ups on appointments, faulty communication, shutting tiny toes in the car door, knocking over a bottle of soda that blew [...]
Love Letters: WIP Wednesday
Posted in Writing, tagged love letters, Williams Syndrome, WIP Wednesday on February 24, 2010 | 5 Comments »
Still over the moon about the Skipp anthology. But that doesn’t mean that I’m slacking. I threw down the gauntlet and issued a challenge to a few friends on Monday. Each one of us made it into an e-book, and that is pretty cool. Getting into an antho is always fun, but crashing the party [...]
I’m Queen of the Wooooooorld!
Posted in Writing, tagged adversity, challenges, special needs, Williams Syndrome, WIP Wednesday on February 3, 2010 | 19 Comments »
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Friends, Romans, and Writers, lend me your ears: I am Queen of the World! I have been under an inordinate amount of stress lately. Real Life responsibilities, waiting on test results for my son, and literary deadlines have nearly done me in. And then today happened. The most important [...]
Kill Those Darlings DEAD, Baby. WIP Wednesday.
Posted in Writing, tagged Kill your darlings, WIP Wednesday on January 27, 2010 | 14 Comments »
Last night I presented my writer’s group with a story. It is a sweet story. A whimsical story. It’s full of goodness, light, and stardust. They dug it, except that they were clamoring for a main character’s death. It makes the piece more poignant. It’s more…I hesitate to say “realistic” with a completely fanciful story, [...]
WIP Wednesday. Whoomp! (There it is)
Posted in Writing, tagged Can you dig it?, song stuck in your head, WIP Wednesday on January 13, 2010 | 12 Comments »
Busy, busy little bee. Besides the unfortunate fact that I’ve had the phrase “Shakalaka!” in my head for about TWO DAYS now, things are going well. I finished revisions to my novel and sent it out. (Thank you so much, beta readers! Way to rock.) I haven’t even started on my Four Horsemen of the [...]
