I'm Out!!!

Of town. Had you going didn't I? I'm going out of town for the week to see my daddy. I am a daddy's girl through and through. Twice. 'Cus I have two daddies. Biological and guardian. I love them both so much and I never really take the time to talk to them, or any family really. It's one of my more shameful attributes. And I am trying to reconcile that. You never know when the day could be their...

Well, This Week Didn't Go As Planned

Once in a while I like to write a To-Do list. I didn't do a single darn thing on my list this week. But! We did go to the library again this week. Lil Miss got new books and played on the train table. I got books on homeschooling (got a few good ideas from those), some books to review, and was terribly...

Just a Check In

I didn't get much done last week in regards to Camp Nanowrimo, but I did work. I enjoyed 13 straight hours of ALLIndie Authors Fringe event on Friday. Actually I watched, listened, and read to all the posts on Saturday. There was a lot of information, almost an overload, but it really helped me figure...

Just a Regular Day in the Life

I've been online now, officially, for a little while now, just a few weeks, months. I've shared with you my day to day life, even though it's mundane, and my writing adventures, no matter how singular they may seem. But what I haven't told you is what I really want to do. I want to write. (Duh) I...

I Know, I know, I'm late

But I have a good excuse. Lil Miss, Hubby, and I went to the library Wednesday. And we got a stack of books. Lil Miss has a stack and I have stack. On top of that I have book review copies coming in. Ever since Wednesday night when we got home, I've had my nose stuck in a book. So far I've read...

Hoping It Gets Better

For four days, I have done very little in relation to my writing projects. I've written maybe 500 words. I've been focused on something that is just as equally important, Lil Miss. I've said it before and I will say it again. I am homeschooling my daughter. TO homeschool is a personal decision and should not be taken lightly. It's also a learn as you go process. You can research, google, bookmark...

You May have Noticed Some Changes

The new design here may be just a tad bit different. OK, a LOT different. There were some visibility problems with the last design. As much as I loved the old world book, the warm and snugly feel of the colors, it just wasn't good on the eyes. But now there is a clean, light feeling every time I open my page. Tags and posts are easier to search, eyes aren't straining to read white on black. But...

Friday, April 8, 2016

The life of a stay-at-home mom is never dull. Lil Miss here has her own learning computer games, homeschooling, and playtime. But what happens when I need to get some work done and she wants to play? She'll get most of my day and then want more. I love her, gods know I do, but sometimes I'd like to...

Oh The Pain

For those of you who noticed, I did not post Monday, but on Sunday. I did this because I promised to keep up my posts on a regular schedule. This was a promise to you as much as to myself. Monday I had a dentists appointment. Long story short, I have an infection in a canine root canal. I was able...

The Road Map...of Writing

Read any article on tips for writing, and they'll tell you to write however makes you comfortable. Don't like plotting and researching? You're a pantser. Can't stand starting a project without researching every single little detail, mapping out a 5 page character profile on each character, and detailing each occurrence? You're a planner. Me? I'm both. I might research something if I feel I don't...

It Begins!

Today is Friday, April 1st. Not only is it April Fools Day, but it's also day one of Camp Nanowrimo. And I have been waiting all month for this. I've been itching to get down and dirty, to start the writing portion of this project. March was just he preparation stage: character profiles, story mapping, story bibles, etc. May will be first draft aftercare. But April is the heart of the matter. April...
