Or, when I try writing... I'm counting the days till I can ditch my att and get a dumb phone. (at Louisville, Kentucky)

Today's editing not going as well as I had hoped. Found some rough spots that need... tweaking. (at Louisville, Kentucky)

The new story is coming along. I feel bad about some of the things in doing to my characters. It's like my Empire Strikes Back. This is the story where the bad guys get the upper hand, the good guys realize they can do incredible things but have no application for them... Main character gets frozen in Carbonite... just kidding. #poorcharacters #writerslife #writer #nanowrimo #imdoingit #geterdone (at Louisville, Kentucky)

So it's been a while. I've had some recent changes that have facilitated the move. Just moving to Louisville recently, I finally got everything unpacked enough to focus on writing. Today's office is brought to me by dairy queen. #writerslife #writerscreatesolutions #writer (at Louisville, Kentucky)

This is why line editing and proofing is important. Typing too fast, I sent my main character to "merket". Not sure why the spell check didn't catch it. But just goes to show that you can't trust that thing all the time. #writerslife #writer #editing #proofing #oops (at Dallas, Texas)

Today's editing snacks brought to you by me because I just can't figure out the microwave today. Editing for verb tense and missing articles. Stupid brain moving faster than the keyboard. So much work. #gettingthere #writing #writerslife #writer #creative #editing #mysoulhurts (at Dallas, Texas)
