Sundays are for Writing #367

Despite unrelenting craziness at work, this was a decent writing week. I wrote two book reviews, Metal Slinger, by Rachel Schneider (as far as twists go, this one had a doozy) and Thistlemarsh, by Moorea Corrigan (this felt like reading one of my favorite classic novels mixed with fantasy). I’m predicting minimal reading or writing this week, due a mandatory work conference, but we’ll see.

Happy writing!

This was an okay writing week: I wrote one book review, Deathly Fates, by Tesia Tsai and DNFed While You Were Seething. Work was super busy, and I was mentally exhausted, so i didn’t have time to read for several days, and I wasn’t eager to get back to Seething, which I took as a sign that I wasn’t that into it.

Happy writing!

Sundays are for Writing #363

This was a decent writing week. I wrote about a thousand words of fiction—not a lot, I know, but I wrote zero words of fiction last year, so I’m doing baby steps this year. I also wrote one book review, Daughter of Egypt, by Marie Benedict, and DNFed The Creek, the Crone, and the Crow, by Rachel Weiss (because it was really dragging for me).

This was a solid writing week. I wrote three book reviews, Heiress of Nowhere, by Stacey Lee, When the Rain Came, by Matt Eicheldinger,  and Only Spell Deep, by Ava Morgyn. I wrote 1k on the fiction project, and outlined two scenes as well.,

This week, I only wrote one book review, Midnight on the Celestial, by Julia Alexandra. I thoroughly enjoyed this read! I also wrote my February reading post, and the best books I read in February.

I also outlined two scenes in the fiction project and wrote 1k.

Happy writing!

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.

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!

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!

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!
