Seeing New Stories in September #IWSG

Posted on September 4, 2024September 2, 2024 by Loni Townsend

Happy IWSG Day everyone! August had its highs and lows. The kids returned to school leading to the frantic shuffle to ensure everyone got to their appropriate locations at the right time. And then, as we settled into routine, covid hit and we all missed work and school for a week. We’re on the mend…

Speeding through Summer #IWSG

Posted on August 7, 2024 by Loni Townsend

Happy First Wednesday, All! Summer has passed in a flash, and we’re already gearing up for school here at the Town’s End. It starts in a week. Neither kiddo is really looking forward to it. My daughter is excited about moving to the next stage of education, but she is dreading waking up for the…

Happy July #IWSG

Posted on July 3, 2024 by Loni Townsend

I forgot to schedule my post for this morning. Thankfully, I didn’t forget. I hope everyone who celebrates the 4th of July has an excellent holiday tomorrow, and that all your pets are safe and sound amidst all the exploding fireworks. We have guinea pigs, and I’m not sure how they’ll react, this being their…

May was Mayhem. Here’s to a Calmer June. #IWSG

Posted on June 5, 2024June 4, 2024 by Loni Townsend

Happy First Wednesday of the Month! May was… an exhausting month. There were a couple weeks there where I wanted to scream into my pillow because I was so overloaded with everything. But I’m no longer sick, our home is repaired, my car is working fine, school is out, and the social engagements are checked…

May Remember. May Not. #ISWG

Posted on May 1, 2024 by Loni Townsend

Today being the first and being Wednesday took me by surprise, and I completely spaced IWSG. But hey, look, it’s not quite lunchtime over here in the Mountain time zone, so I think I’m good. Though, this means I will be late when it comes to visiting others. I’ve had some writing leaps and bounds…

Older and Wiser #IWSG

Posted on April 3, 2024April 3, 2024 by Loni Townsend

March flew by for me, and I was busy with all the things from celebrating my birthday and having fun on spring break with the kids to less fun events that ratcheted up my anxiety to fresh new levels. But all my personal chaos aside, let’s talk writing. Rewriting book 1 is a bigger undertaking…

Beta Ready? #IWSG

Posted on March 6, 2024March 5, 2024 by Loni Townsend

Happy March! It’s the first Wednesday and I’ll be slow to visit people, as I’m off to a career fair with my daughter most of the day. I’ve made significant progress on book 2, and I think I’m to the point of asking for beta readers! I did decide yesterday I needed to tweak one…

Month Two, Already? #IWSG

Posted on February 7, 2024 by Loni Townsend

I totally spaced today’s post. It’s that whole second-week-of-the-month timing that catches me. Whoops. I’ve been hard at work trying to get my POVs rewritten, and it’s pretty mind-consuming. I struggled and struggled with introducing a detail to one POV. Eventually, I decided I’d skip trying to put this detail in its own chapter and…

New Year, New Goals #IWSG

Posted on January 3, 2024January 2, 2024 by Loni Townsend

Welcome to 2024, Everyone! Guess what?! I finished my zero draft of Isto before my end-of-year, self-imposed deadline! Here’s a little animation I made of me and Derek dancing in celebration. (It’s my first animation, so please excuse the poor quality.) Having completed the rough draft of version 6, I now move on to editing….

Will I Beat the Clock? #IWSG

Posted on December 6, 2023December 5, 2023 by Loni Townsend

It’s the first Wednesday of the month, and the last Wednesday of the year. Much to my chagrin, I haven’t finished my book yet. It’s not for a lack of trying. I just spent three months trying to get one chapter to work correctly. After redoing it multiple times, I think I got it to…

Welcome to my blog. I post here on Wednesdays most of the time, but you can find me on social media any day of the week. My topics include my stories and writing, life at the Town's End, creating and tinkering with graphics, things I learn and think might be helpful to others, and the occasional amateur photo. Thanks for stopping by! I hope to see you around.
