So many words. So little time.

This was another great writing week! I wrote two book reviews, The Lost Dresses of Italy, by M. A. Mclaughlin and A Step Past Darkness, by Vera Kurian. Spoiler alert: I DNFed A Step Past Darkness because I found it and the characters boring, but I really enjoyed The Lost Dresses of Italy. It was a great historical fiction read!
I also got in five fiction-writing sessions! This will prove more difficult next week, as I’ll be traveling a bit for work, but we’ll see how it goes.
Happy writing!
This has been a great writing week! I wrote two book reviews: The Uncharted Flight of Olivia West, by Sara Ackerman and The Last Days of Lilah Goodluck, by Kylie Scott. Olivia was a great read. Both timelines engrossed me (and made me want to visit Hawaii). I’ve enjoyed all of Sarah Ackerman’s books I’ve read, and this was no exception. Lilah Goodluck had me laughing out loud several times, and I almost hurt myself snorting. Seriously, if you need a fun weekend read, pick this up.
I also got in five fiction-writing sessions this week. This was a bit of a struggle, because things are in such a state of flux at work, and I had two squeeze in two writing sessions on Thursday to make it work, but I did! The WIP is slowly starting to sort itself out—and I think it’s morphing from a fantasy to a bit of a dystopian. Who knew?
Happy writing!
This was a fantastic writing week! I got in five fiction-writing sessions, and I wrote three book reviews, too: A Body at the Seance, The Missing Witness (up on Tuesday), and It Takes a Rake (up on Thursday). I’m very happy with this amount of writing.
How was your writing week?
I didn’t write any book reviews this week, but it was another great fiction-writing week: five more sessions! So far, two weeks in, I’m really happy I set specific writing goals, instead of just “writing.” This makes me much more focused.
Frigid temps blew in here last night—it’s 12 degrees right now. In Texas. No, thank you—so I’m huddled inside trying to stay warm. As long as it doesn’t turn into an ice storm and we lose power, I’ll write some fiction tomorrow. too.
Happy writing!
This was a solid writing week. I wrote two book reviews, Our Cursed Love, by Julie Abe, and The Paris Housekeeper, by Renee Ryan. I also did some brainstorming on the new story idea, and got in one writing session with it. I’m still trying to figure some things out with the setting and genre, so that’s making it a bit difficult to get much real work on it, but my goal is two writing sessions on it this week.
I hope you had a good writing week. Happy writing!
This wasn’t a good writing week: I wrote one book review, The Fiction Writer, by Jillian Cantor. Between the holiday and working almost every day, there just wasn’t much time. Hopefully next week will be better!
Happy writing!
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).

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?
Happy writing!
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?
Happy writing!
