Sundays Are for Writing #251

This wasn’t a great writing week, but I did get two book reviews written: Plot Twist, by Erin La Rosa, which I DNFed, and The Fiction Writer, by Jillian Cantor (up in a couple of weeks). I also started my vacation, so that accounts for (some) of my unproductive week.

Happy writing

This was not a good writing week: I got in one fiction session…and that’s it. Better than nothing, I suppose, but life was just so busy this week! Work was super crazy and I worked around 50 hours. My dad had surgery on Tuesday, and instead of getting out of the hospital Wednesday as planned, he was in until yesterday. I ended up doing a 15k trail race yesterday that I hadn’t planned on, because my best friend’s mom had signed up and couldn’t go, and I had family and friends in town this weekend. I. Am. Tired. So, yeah. That’s it for me.

Happy writing!

I feel like every week lately has been crazy at work—and this week was no exception—but I managed to get two book reviews written this week: Thief Liar Lady, by D. L. Soria and Ladies of the Lake, by Cathy Gohlke. Thief Liar Lady was a retelling of Cinderella that I’m…ambivalent about. And Ladies of the Lake was an excellent historical fiction that I listened to on audio.

Happy writingF!

Well…I wrote no book reviews this week because of work chaos and DNFing Ciao for Now, by Kate Bromley (I’m not sure why I thought that was going to be a good fit for me in the first place: I avoid social media and superficial people like the plague). I did write a post over on A Little Bit Greener, though: Hello, beautiful! Hopefully this week will be a better writing week!

Happy writing!

Sundays Are for Writing #209

This week, I only got one book review written, A Guide to Being Just Friends, by Sophie Sullivan. I’m actually fine with that, as I worked almost 50 hours…and there was a LOT of stress at work. I’m also mentally playing with an idea for a writing project, so that’s exciting.

Happy writing!

Sundays Are for Writing #208

Well….I managed to get one book review written this week. I’m actually fine with that, considering the chaos/emergencies at work. Hoping this next week is calmer.

Happy writing!

Sundays Are for Writing #200

This week, I only wrote one book review. Between vacation aftermath and work chaos—plus not reading much on vacation—there just wasn’t time. Better luck next week.

Happy writing!

Sundays Are for Writing #199

This week, I wrote exactly nothing. Family emergency that took up most of Monday, and I went on vacation on Wednesday, so….nothing.

Happy writing!

Sundays Are for Writing #196

This was a very skimpy writing week: only one book review. I was out of town last weekend, and I didn’t have much reading luck this week, with two DNFs in a row. Better luck next time. I’ve committed to much fewer reviews for the rest of the year, so more time for reading for fun.

Happy writing!

Sundays Are for Writing #192

I only wrote two book reviews this week, but considering which two books they were, I’m okay with that: Spells for Forgetting, by Adrienne Young and The Winners, by Fredrik Backman. Both of these were excellent reads, but I was up until 2 a.n. finishing Backman’s third Beartown novel. So, so good.
