Into March #IWSG
Wow. This year is just zooming by. It’s already March and the first Wednesday of the month: Insecure Writer’s Support Group day! I wrote almost 12K (11,951) in February! That’s not quite the 3200 a week I set, but it is almost 3K, which is uplifting. However… March is always a busy month for me because of birthdays and spring break. This year, it’s particularly grand because my daughter and I are…

An Unfortunate Realization #IWSG
The first month of 2025 is already gone, and we’re once again at the first Wednesday of the month with Insecure Writer’s Support Group. I had to laugh because I looked up the question of the month and it seems like it was written especially for me. IWSG Question of the Month – Is there a story or book you’ve written you want to/wish you could go back and change? If you’ve interacted with me at…

A Fresh Beginning But So Far Behind #IWSG
I failed to visit anyone’s blog last month. I know, I know. I am a crummy blog friend, and I will be sure to visit this week. The past couple of months have been overwhelming in my personal life, and I ended up slacking in my online presence. But the holidays are over so it is now just general busyness that I blame for slacking off. With the holiday providing me a full week off of work, I thought…

2024 Comes to a Close #IWSG
November sped by. It passed way too quickly for me, and I can’t believe it’s already December. I had hoped to rewrite book 1 this year. I thought, since it’s already a finished book, it should be fairly easy. Alas, that isn’t how it’s turning out. If it’d been a matter of words, I probably could’ve done it. However, this book was my first, my baby, and it was written with a healthy dose of…
Redoing Everything #IWSG
Happy IWSG day, everyone! October passed quicker than I thought it would, and I can’t believe we’re into holiday season. It’s getting chilly outside, and I’ve had to dig out my gigantic fleece squirrel hoodie once more. Despite how dramatic the title to this post sounds, things aren’t as dire as they seem in the writing world. True, I’ve made no written progress toward book 1, but after a…
Fourth Quarter and So Far Behind #IWSG
Happy Insecure Writer’s Support Group Day! I’ve admittedly suffered more writing insecurities this past month than previous months. My book 1 rewriting has trickled to a stop, and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get the rest of chapter 6 written before Friday to submit it to my group. I keep getting torn between my book 2 edits, rewriting book 1, and figuring out a way to streamline the plot of…

Things I Learned as a First-Time Indie Novelist by H.R. Sinclair
I am super excited to share a guest post with all of you. One thing I love about Holly is that I always learn something from her. From her gemstone histories to recipes to trends, she’s got amazing insights about a plethora of subjects. She’s thorough with her research, complete in information, and entertaining in her delivery. So when it came to having her guest post on my blog, I knew I wanted…
Seeing New Stories in September #IWSG
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 now, despite me still hacking up a lung, and I’m waaaaaayyyyyy behind on all providing critiques…
Happy July #IWSG
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 first 4th with us. But I’m more than willing to cuddle them if they need…
May was Mayhem. Here's to a Calmer June. #IWSG
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 off. Plus, I’m going on vacation soon–the first vacation in years. In fact, the first…

May Remember. May Not. #ISWG
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 this past month. I had a panic moment with a chapter, rewrote a chunk, cut 4K, then begged my…

Older and Wiser #IWSG
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 than I assumed. I knew it was going to be a lot of work because of problems with tension, unfocused…

Beta Ready? #IWSG
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 chapter because it didn’t quite sit well with me, but I’ve been listening to the whole story text-to-speech to catch…

Month Two, Already? #IWSG
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 just add it to the scene where a side character is introduced.…

New Year, New Goals #IWSG
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. This means rewriting Cameron’s POV. His timeline doesn’t flow well with…

Will I Beat the Clock? #IWSG
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 an acceptable state so I can move on to the final battle. But a month isn’t long at all. I’ve got a plan laid out for…

Wrication #IWSG
Happy Insecure Writer’s Support Group day! I’ll be slow to visit this week, because I’m on a wrication (that’s what I call it when I take vacation for the sole purpose of writing). My goal is to finish this version of the book this week. If you aren’t familiar with my struggles, I’ve had 6 versions of this book over the decade I’ve been working on it. Version 1: Delves into the history of Derek’s…
