Sundays are for Writing #358

This week, I only wrote one book review, All in Her Hands, by Audrey Blake. I also DNFed two books, The Astral Library (if I was interested in the author’s politics, I’d read her blog, not her fiction) and Weavingshaw (I’m all for a slow burn, but not one THIS.ridiculously.SLOW).

I also outlined two scenes for the fiction project, and wrote a thousand words, so I’m happy with it.

Happy writing!

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!

Sundays are for Writing #356

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!

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.

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.

Happy writing!

I only wrote one book review this week, The Bookbinder’s Secret, by A. D. Bell. I DNFed three books this week, So I didn’t get a lot of reading done.

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.

Sundays are for Writing #347

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.

Happy writing!

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.

Happy writing!
