Sundays are for Writing #354

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.

Happy writing!

Sundays are for Writing #353

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?

Happy writing!

Sundays are for Writing #351

I only wrote two book reviews this week, Anne of a Different Island, by Virginia Kantra (A cute read full of callbacks to Anne of Green Gables) and In Bloom, by Liz Allan (A quick read, but chaotic and very meh to me).

I also finished reading through the almost-100-pages of the fiction project I haven’t touched since 2024, and I’m ready to start outlining (very loosely) the story I want to tell now.

This was an okay writing week: I wrote two book reviews, Skylark, by Paula McLain and Oxford Blood, by Rachael Davis-Featherstone. I also did quite a bit of journaling and some fiction brainstorming.

This was a good writing—and reading—week. I wrote three book reviews: No One Aboard, by Emy McGuire, The Time Hop Coffee Shop, by Phaedra Patrick, and Wildwood, by Amy Pease. I also did a tiny bit of prep work for some fiction…for the first time all year.

Sundays are for Writing #346

This was an okay writing week: I wrote two book reviews, both for blog tours: Dawn of the Firebird, by Sarah Mughal Rana (DNF) and The Library of Fates, by Margot Harrison (an okay read). Hopefully I’ll get more writing done next week.

Sundays are for Writing #345

Coming back from vacation sucks. Coming back from the beach to cold weather and disasters at work sucks even worse. I did get some writing done this week, in the form of three book reviews: Persephone’s Curse, by Katrina Leno, The Italian Secret, by Tara Moss, and The Rebel and the Rose, by Catherine Doyle. The middle book was just meh, but the first and last ones were pretty fantastic.

Happy writing!

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!

Sundays are for Writing #343

I only wrote one book review this week, The Memory Gardener, by Meg Donohue, but it was a fantastic read! The rest of the week was busy with work and getting ready for vacation this week–so don’t expect much writing!

Happy writing!
