Happy Insecure Writer’s Support Group day! It’s July and the puppy is huge. Pictures don’t do him justice. He’s 4 months old now, and he’s probably close to 40lbs, if not more. The kids and I have been doing training, but the barking and jumping are things we have yet to break him of. Despite…
The Dog Ate My Brain #IWSG
Wow. It’s been a month, and I owe a lot of you visits. I’ve been treading water with all the things I need to do, all while keeping one eye and half my attention on the dog because he won’t stop chewing and digging and wreaking havoc. Even as I type this, I am shoving…
Changes, Changes, Changes #IWSG
Happy Insecure Writer’s Support Day, Everyone! I completely forgot about last month’s post. I blame all the March action. The trip to Costa Rica was a whirlwind, wonderful adventure with my daughter, then there were school projects and events, and well, April came and went. April also brought new additions to the Town’s End. Meet…
Into March #IWSG
Wow. This year is just zooming by. It’s already March and the first Wednesday of the month: Insecure Writer’s Support Group day! I wrote almost 12K (11,951) in February! That’s not quite the 3200 a week I set, but it is almost 3K, which is uplifting. However… March is always a busy month for me…
An Unfortunate Realization #IWSG
The first month of 2025 is already gone, and we’re once again at the first Wednesday of the month with Insecure Writer’s Support Group. I had to laugh because I looked up the question of the month and it seems like it was written especially for me. IWSG Question of the Month – Is there…
A Fresh Beginning But So Far Behind #IWSG
I failed to visit anyone’s blog last month. I know, I know. I am a crummy blog friend, and I will be sure to visit this week. The past couple of months have been overwhelming in my personal life, and I ended up slacking in my online presence. But the holidays are over so it…
2024 Comes to a Close #IWSG
November sped by. It passed way too quickly for me, and I can’t believe it’s already December. I had hoped to rewrite book 1 this year. I thought, since it’s already a finished book, it should be fairly easy. Alas, that isn’t how it’s turning out. If it’d been a matter of words, I probably…
Redoing Everything #IWSG
Happy IWSG day, everyone! October passed quicker than I thought it would, and I can’t believe we’re into holiday season. It’s getting chilly outside, and I’ve had to dig out my gigantic fleece squirrel hoodie once more. Despite how dramatic the title to this post sounds, things aren’t as dire as they seem in the…
Fourth Quarter and So Far Behind #IWSG
Happy Insecure Writer’s Support Group Day! I’ve admittedly suffered more writing insecurities this past month than previous months. My book 1 rewriting has trickled to a stop, and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get the rest of chapter 6 written before Friday to submit it to my group. I keep getting torn…
Things I Learned as a First-Time Indie Novelist by H.R. Sinclair
I am super excited to share a guest post with all of you. One thing I love about Holly is that I always learn something from her. From her gemstone histories to recipes to trends, she’s got amazing insights about a plethora of subjects. She’s thorough with her research, complete in information, and entertaining in…
