On not smoking, being sick, and playing with new ideas…

Not a whole lot of writing going on with me right now, tho I’ve hit almost two weeks being smoke free!  So while I may not have been doing a bunch of writing, we have been doing the home improvement thing.  Our master bedroom is now finished, with the exception of some truly wonderful pictures [...]

The Winter Woes and On Being Productive

We’re at the tail end of a nice little winter storm in Oklahoma right now, tho it looks like the worst of it is past, especially since we’re all heading back to work today.  Luckily we kept our electricity, so got to hang at the casa without shivering in front of the fireplace *g*.
 
So today [...]

Where did the words (and my time) go?

Since I last checked in, I’ve written about 1,000 words, which is totally disappointing. So what in the heck have I been doing with myself?  First, the week back at work after the holidays was pure, unrequited hell *g*, in addition to being damned cold, so by the time I got home, I was not only shivering, [...]

Plans for the coming year

To start with, Happy New Year’s Eve, all!!!  Not much going on at Casa Schaefer tonight…we usually just kind of hang out and chill on New Year’s Eve…yeah, I know we’re boring, but we’ve always been that way *g*.
 
For today’s post, I thought I’d set down my writing goals for the year, amongst other things.  [...]

Gotta love that editing…

So I’m taking a smidge of a break from writing over the next month or so, since I finished Into the Fire…and it was accepted gleefully *g*.  Now to see what the crit partners want me to change to make it even better!
Basically my goal is to work through a bunch of editing jobs between [...]

Typing “the end”…

Wooohooo!  Finished Into the Fire, which will be renamed with the help of my crit partners.  I sent it off to them last night, and hopefully they don’t find massive plot holes *g*.  Taking a few days to get some editing jobs under my belt, then I’m starting in again on revisions for Summerland and [...]

Yes, We Can!

Okay, this post is all over the board, and I apologize, but I’m jazzed and have a bit of laundry to air, so bear with me.
I know I don’t delve into politics at all on this blog, but as my Wednesday post, I’m going to.  I voted Democrat this election (I say “this” because that [...]

Writing joy…

My total for last weekend was a whopping 9.5K and I actually really liked all the words, to include two scary-hot love scenes.  It was kinda weird writing them while football was on and the hubby about three feet away, yelling at the TV *g*. 

 
Current word count stands at just over 22K.  I think [...]

Kicking ass and taking names…word count update

Kicked major bootie this weekend on the word count…got 4K written over Saturday and Sunday, and finished up with an additional 2K on Monday.  Since it was a holiday, I’m counting it as part of the weekend, dammit *g*.
 
This one book has been a bit different for me because I’m writing at a higher level [...]

Getting my mojo back…

It’s no secret to anyone who reads this blog (or listens to my incessant whining) that I’ve been mojoless (yes, that’s a real word, at least in Terri-land) for about three months.  This weekend I got my mojo back.  How, you might ask?  I was feeling particularly wonky, so I hopped in the tub and [...]
