Sundays are for Writing #357

Man, writing has been a struggle lately. Well, to be even more accurate, reading has been a struggle lately. Work and life have been so chaotic that I just haven’t had time to read, and so I haven’t written any book reviews. This week, I wrote one review, The Sun and the Starmaker, by Rachel Griffin. I’ve been trying to start reading this for two weeks and it just hasn’t happened, but finally!

I also got in about 1,000 fiction words! Granted, they were mostly reused from an earlier draft, but still. That’s the first fiction I’ve written in over a year! And I outlined two more scenes today, so all in all, the week is a writing win!

Happy writing!

This week, I didn’t do much writing. Texas doesn’t do well with any winter storms, and the amount of ice we got last weekend made this week absolutely nuts. And when the ice was gone, the usual craziness came back with a vengeance. I only wrote one book review this week, Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter, by Heather Fawcett, but I did outline six scenes in the fiction project, so it’s a win.

Happy writing!

Yeah, work was absolutely crazy this week, with the impending cold weather event—Texas does not do ice storms well—so I didn’t get much reading done. I did write one book review, The Halifax Hellions, by Alexandra Vasti.

Happy writing! Stay warm.

I’ve been doing some plotting for my fiction project this week. I only wrote one book review, Strange Animals, by Jarod K. Anderson. I also DNFed three books: Dating After the End of the World, Maybe This Once, and Keeper of Lost Children.

Well, work was chaos this week + I didn’t sleep very well = I didn’t get any reading done, so I didn’t write a single book review. I did outline two scenes for my fiction project, which felt really good.

how was your writing week?

I didn’t write any book reviews this week…because I didn’t have very much time to read. Oh well. Maybe next week!

This week, I did zero writing. I worked Monday and Tuesday, then left for vacation, so….priorities. I hope you got some writing in! I’m hopeful maybe some beach time will inspire me as far as fiction-writing is concerned.

Happy writing!

I only wrote one book review, The Cathedral of Lost Souls, by Paula Brackston. It’s been a crazy-busy week: quick weekend trip to the coast to see my family (Yay for beach time!) for less than 48 hours, small surgery on Tuesday, busiest day of the month at work on Wednesday, Thursday was…eventful at work. I’m exhausted. I barely have the energy to read.

Happy writing!

This week, like last week, was a slow writing week. I didn’t journal every day, and I only wrote one book review, Love is an Open Book, by Chandra Blumberg. It was a tough week. Hopefully next week will be better.

I was super busy this week, so I didn’t get much reading or writing done this week. One book review, Wish You Were Her, by Elle McNicoll, and I didn’t even journal every day. Hopefully next week will be better.

Happy writing!
