A Week in Review: April 29, 2018

A Week in Review: April 29, 2018 #amwriting #workinprogress #amreading

It has been another highly productive week here. I finished up a few tasks, and I was about to finish a third when I realized that I was writing about a setting from a very large, very “out of order” series that I have been working on since I was fifteen (that’s a long, long, long, LONG time ago), so I turned off my scheduled writing path for the week to…

Word Count: Long Week

Word Count: Long Week #amwriting #kids #bibleschool #vbs

The week started off great.  The kids were at Vacation Bible School with my parents at church, so I had the house to myself Monday night.  I made a lot of progress on the world story for my epic saga, Chronicles of Ithmere, that I have been working on since *cough* 1999.  The ideas continued to roll in on Tuesday and Wednesday, but I had everyone home all day and my husband at home with me those…

Word Count: Where Did the Week Go? #wordcount #wips #organizing

I have no idea where this week went.  I’ve been at my desk every day, but I have barely written anything, and nothing has been written that I would consider creative, with the exception of yesterday’s chapter outlines.  I have been proofing the next three prompt books that I will be releasing, and I’ve been making paperback covers for them (the e-book covers have been ready on them for a while…

Word Count: Productive Week

Well, I can honestly say that it has been a productive week.  I finished typing up the first draft of the yearly edition of The Daily Prompt for 2017, and I progressed a bit further on the Mystery Edition of The Daily Prompt that will be ready on August 1.

As for my fiction work, though, not a lot has changed.  I have a science fiction novel that is completely blocked for me, and I seem to have…
