Nutty Chitter from a Caffeinated Critter
I had big plans for August. I was going to cut back on Red Bull, eat healthy, exercise, spend more time with my kids, and all around be super mom. A week into it, and everything got derailed. My dog died on the 8th. Inu was old (15 years), and we were thinking he wouldn’t…
Earlier this week, I was thinking of my critique partner–Ken Rahmoeller. Many of you know him as he’s been a member of the IWSG for longer than me. I had the honor of beta-reading his novel and I enjoyed his Hogwarts fan fiction on WattPad, even though it remains unfinished. I even got to read…
It’s the first of June, and the first Wednesday of the month, making today Insecure Writer’s Support Group day! Woot! I’d hoped for less busyness in May, but that wasn’t the case. I faced urgent application changes at work, health problems at home, school events and overdue assignments, birthday parties to attend, and none of…
It’s the first Wednesday of the month, making today Insecure Writer’s Support Group day! I wish all of you Star Wars fans out there a happy Star Wars day. May the 4th be with you! I’m actually writing this blog post early and using the schedule to make it publish on the right day. I’ve…
You might notice a new look to my site. I decided it needed a refresher since my old parent theme wasn’t getting updates anymore and the dropdowns no longer functioned. I switched to this new one, and though I’m not sure I’m in love, it’ll do. (EDIT: I just noticed the url is missing from…
It’s 2022. Not only that, it’s the first Wednesday of 2022, making it Insecure Writer’s Support Group day. Happy New Year! IWSG Question of the Month – What’s the one thing about your writing career you regret the most? Were you able to overcome it? I’m skipping the question because to answer, I feel I…
It’s the first day of December and Insecure Writer’s Support Group day! What makes me an insecure writer this month? Well, I’ve had to redo that companion novel WIP I’ve been working on, and now I’m losing steam. I submitted my second chapter a while back and my group didn’t have the response I’d hoped….
As I went to write my post this morning for Insecure Writer’s Support Group, I was presented with a wonderful 403 Forbidden error. Yay. It seems every few years I lose my site and I have to dig to get it back. As I stepped through the troubleshooting and nothing worked, I relented and reached…
My goals this year haven’t changed much from previous years: family, fitness, and finishing the dang book. We’ll start with writing, since it’s the first Wednesday of the month making it Insecure Writer’s Support Group day. I’d hoped to finish book 2 of the big book series by the end of last year. That didn’t…
Wow. Can you believe it’s the last first Wednesday of 2020? Despite all that’s happened this year (earthquakes, pandemic, my mom’s cancer), it still surprises me that in a month, it won’t be 2020 anymore. I’m thankful I’ve been able to keep working to support my family while my husband tends to the kids and…
