It's 2018. I'm doing NaNoWriMo again. Lord help us all. For those who haven't been following my blog since November 2014 (so basically if you're not my mom or my sister), this is the second time I'm attempting NaNoWriMo which stands for National Novel Writing Month. The good news is, I finished the challenge in … Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2018

A whole new world…kind of. Sort of.
It’s a new year. It’s a new me. Okay, that’s BS. It’s the me I was in late December. BUT when it comes to this blog, it’s a whole new world (but it's still full of Disney references).

I aspire to one day be a great writer. She is exactly that. She is a great writer who just recently had her … Continue reading I’m gonna gush here for a bit…
Are you writing?
Writing is a powerful tool to help you through rough times. Don't forget to write!
Let’s talk about…beginning at the wrong moment
A beginning is the hook. It's the thing that keeps you reading on. Don't screw it up. Yes, that's a threat.
Pantsing vs. Plotting vs. Plopping
The age old question. Pantsing or plotting or...plopping? That's right. You read that correctly. I'm adding in a third choice. But let's just do all three.
Writing update
Just a check in on my day off from my 9 to 5. The mind needs space to think. Today's time off work created some much needed thinking space.
