So many words. So little time.

I’m happy with this writing week! I was on vacation the first half, and the second half was…pretty horrible (working in health care is not for the faint of heart), so it all evened out. I wrote one book review, Shards of Glass, by Michelle Sagara, and did some behind-the-scenes stuff on the new fiction piece.
Happy writing!
I got a lot less writing done this week than I did last week, but still, I wrote. One book review, Never Wager with a Wallflower, by Virginia Heath, up Tuesday, and two fiction writing sessions. One of those was the cozy mystery, and one was…something else. I don’t know what, yet. Just something that popped into my head.
I also DNFed three books, Plot Twist (because I’m not into frivolous and obsessed-with-what-people-think-of-them main characters), Artifacts of an Ex (I completely appreciated the MC’s obsession with planning, but wasn’t a fan of her careless and juvenile behavior), and Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Lord (Look, if I’ve read a third of the book and the MC says she doesn’t care about the ton and societal expectations but that’s all she can think about, and if all the male characters seem to be either foolish, demeaning, or borderline evil, well, I have no interest in finishing reading).
How was your writing week?

This was a GREAT writing week! I wrote four book reviews: Highlands Christmas – Wishes Come True, by Amy Quick Parrish, The Predictable Heartbreaks of Imogen Finch, by Jacqueline Firkins, When I’m Dead, by Hannah Morrissey (will be up tomorrow), and Swarm, by Jennifer Lyle (up on Friday). Even better, I got in FIVE fiction writing sessions! This is the most writing I’ve done in a long, long time, and I’m very happy with it. How’s your writing week going?

This was a decent writing week: I wrote one book review, Unholy Terrors, by Lyndall Clipstone, and I got in two fiction-writing sessions on the cozy mystery/fantasy, so I’m happy with that. My goal for this next week is five fiction writing sessions and three book reviews (Yeah, pretty audacious, I know. Go big or go home, right? Right?). How was your writing week?

It’s been an excellent writing week! I wrote two book reviews, Starter Villain, by John Scalzi, and Night of the Witch, by Sara Raasch and Beth Revis (review forthcoming). I also got in two fiction-writing sessions! Only 500 words each, but that’s more fiction than I’ve written in a loooong time, so I’m thrilled.

I’m happy with this writing week: a review for The Roaring Days of Zora Lily, by Noelle Salaza, which was a fantastic historical fiction read, and I actually did some fiction-writing. Five hundred words is better than no words!

This was a decent writing week: I wrote two book reviews, The Viscount Who Vexed Me, by Julia London and The Dueling Duchess, by Minerva Spencer. I also did a little bit of work on my story idea. I need to make some decisions on setting and culture, so I can push through my inertia there.

This was a decent writing week: I wrote three book reviews (Warrior Girl Unearthed, The Secret Book of Flora Lea, and The Last One to Fall by Gabriella Lepore, forthcoming), my April reading post, and the best books I read in April post. My job has entered a new stage of crazy, so writing will be challenging for a while, but I’m looking forward to doing more brainstorming on the potential fiction idea.
Happy writing!
I ended up working an extra day this week—and all five days were mentally exhausting—so I only wrote one book review this week, Pieces of Me, by Kate McLaughlin. (Interesting read, but it struck me as a bit sugar-coated.) I also DNFed three books (again), Where Coyotes Howl, The Dutch Orphan, and Under the Cover of Mercy. The first one, I DNFed because there was no conflict in the first 25%, the second, the POV was too distant for my taste, and the last one, the MC felt a bit haughty and distant.
I also wrote four posts on A Little Bit Greener: Green=peace of mind, Time is greener, Sometimes it’s hard to find the light, and tell them they’re pretty. I honestly didn’t realize I wrote that much this week…I ALSO binge read Kresley Cole’s From the Gave , the final book in the Arcana series, which I love.
I also did a solid bit of brainstorming on the new story idea, so I’m very happy with this week of writing!
Happy writing
This week, I wrote three book reviews, Silver in the Bone, by Alexandra Bracken, This Isn’t Going to End Well, by Daniel Wallace, and How to Best A Marquess, by Janna MacGregor (that’ll be up tomorrow). I also DNFed four books, including This Isn’t Going to End Well, but it’s for a blog tour, so I wrote a review anyway. Also on the DNF list were The House is On Fire, The Seaside Library, and Blind Spots. I guess nothing measured up to Silver in the Bone, which I read last weekend.
Happy writing!
