Sundays are for Writing #341

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!

Sundays are for Writing #339

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.

Sundays are for Writing #338

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!

Sundays are for Writing #329

This wasn’t the best writing week I’ve had. I only wrote one book review, The Listeners, by Maggie Stiefvater, and I did some journaling. That’s it. In my defense, I ended up having three biopsies done unexpectedly on Monday (they all came back fine) and my entire family was visiting for the week, plus some nonsense at work, so writing wasn’t top of my list.

Happy writing.

Sundays are for Writing #316

This was an okay writing week. I wrote two book reviews, Southern by Design, by Grace Helena Walz and Spring Fling, by Annie England Noblin (forthcoming). Got some less-than-ideal health news that I’m still processing.

Sundays are for Writing #315

This was an okay writing week. I wrote two book reviews, A Circle of Uncommon Witches, by Paige Crutcher and The Lost Passenger, by Frances Quinn, but no fiction and no journaling.

Sundays are for Writing #313

This was an okay writing week: a couple of journaling sessions and one book review, The Dressmakers of London, by Julia Kelly. I’m tired…

Sundays are for Writing #312

This was a decent writing week. I wrote three books reviews, and nothing else: Get Lost with You, by Sophie Sullivan, The Queens of Crime, by Marie Benedict, and The Perfect Rom-Com, by Melissa Ferguson, all forthcoming. I lost a friend of mine last Sunday, so writing fiction really wasn’t a place my head was at this week.

Happy writing!

Sundays are for Writing #311

This has been a solid writing week. No fiction, but I wrote two book reviews, See How They Hide, by Allison Brennan and Last Twilight in Paris, by Pam Jenoff, both forthcoming. I also did three journaling sessions–I really hope they’re helping get my mind straightened out. It’s been a tough week.

Happy writing!

Sundays are for Writing #310

Last year, my goal was to get in five fiction sessions a week. Which I did except maybe three times. That sounds positive, but in the end, I ended up rehashing a lot of words and not accomplishing a lot, so I decided to make my goal a bit different this year: write every day (same as last year), but it can be any kind of writing. Fiction, book reviews, prayers, journaling (Yeah, that’s the headspace I’m in right now.)

This week, I’ve gotten a ton of writing done! I did get in one fiction session, but I also wrote my December reading post, my best books I read in December, What I Read in 2024, and four book reviews: Here Beside the Rising Tide, by Emily Jane, A Sea of Unspoken Things, by Adrienne Young, Capitana, by Cassandra James, and All Better Now, by Neal Shusterman (all forthcoming).

I also did three journaling sessions, so there was a ton of writing happening over here. How about you?
