So many rainbows this week
I am getting obsessed with Instagram again. One of many rainbows seen this week. The total writing for this week: somewhere around 10k forward motion. I say somewhere, because I am shuffling some scenes around, which is totally out of … Continue reading
In an effort to get this book done, you get this
This has been a tough week for forward progress on Never. Bear in mind that I’m still dealing with the effects of the stupid cold/flu (I’m inclined to say it was a cold, but it lingers like the damn flu) … Continue reading
Links are sick of coughing
Βethan via Compfight So, I’ve been sick this week. And I am thoroughly sick of being sick. It’s only a cold, but it’s kind of a nasty one. The kidlet had it first, then me, and now the husband appears … Continue reading

Links are back with a vengeance
This has been a weird week. I have been writing, but it’s all been about forcing every word. I think I’m skating along the edge of a burn out, but I really want to get this draft finished. Also, … Continue reading
Not-a-review: Some Kind of Fairytale
