May Things Hopefully Improve #IWSG
I took last month off from blogging to make some progress on my writing. The first week went well, allowing me to catch up on a lot of progress after my massive timeline rewrite. I was hopeful that I might make a serious dent. And then April 7th hit, and my daughter got sick. She…
Chopping Words To Make It Work #IWSG
I had to cut some of my darlings this past week. Last month, I said I wanted to take out an earthquake. I dragged my feet on it. If I took out the first earthquake, then I needed to find some other way to separate my character from the rest of his group. As I…
The Formula for Happiness #IWSG

How do you catch up? #IWSG
Wow. It’s July already, and it’s the first Wednesday of the month too! I had told myself I’d be done with at least one of my projects by now. But I’m not. In fact, I’m not even close. I know I’m not the only one who sets big plans and when the time rolls around,…

Murder Most Fowl – Part W #atozchallenge
Hi all! I know this is late. Technically I still have 1 hour and 40 minutes in my timezone for my post to go live before the day is over. The reason why I’m late is because I rewrote the segment today and just now finished it. Have I mentioned I’m a pantser? Unlike the…
