It’s been far longer than I thought since I hopped on for a quick post. I’ll blame the gorgeous fall weather (colored leaves! sunsets! deserted beaches to walk on!), the busy personal life, and of course, the writing and editing that I’m still wading through.

Why yes, that is Aerosmith blaring over the speakers right now. The song seems fitting as I sit sideways in front of my computer (have to make room for fat boy and his pillow – sideways is the only way to go), and jump back into the rewrites. It’s September!!

I have goals, dammit. And I’m determined to reach them. Playing around with the free time-tracking software Toggl as well as a timer and so far it’s going well. If nothing else, I’m realizing when I’m sucked into something other than what I planned soon rather than later. I’ll revist this in a week and … Read more…
Out of the 4 WIP’s I have slated to complete this year I closed out the first run of edits on #1 yesterday. Yay!! I’ve set it aside to perk for bit and will edit through #2 before I go back for another run. I did go ahead and reward myself for my effort though. … Read more…
