Sundays are for Writing #113

This has been a decent writing week. Three fiction sessions, five book reviews—and a bit less stress than last week. Or at least, a different kind of stress. But more sleep, nonetheless.

Happy writing!

Sundays are for Writing #112

This week was a so-so writing week. I only wrote two book reviews, and I finished making changes to the WIP, so I can continue writing next week. Work was mentally exhausting and I didn’t sleep well for most of the week, so things just kind of dragged. Hopefully next week will be better.

Happy writing!

Sundays are for Writing #111

This hasn’t been the most productive writing week, because I never seemed to have enough time! I did get three sessions of revising fiction, and I wrote three book reviews as well. I think the stress from work made everything feel much more tired.

Happy writing!

Sundays are for Writing #110

I’m going to call this a slow writing week: two book reviews, and 3 editing sessions on the WIP to incorporate the change in setting that needs to happen. That’s it for me this week.

Happy writing!

Sundays are for Writing #109

Well…it ended up being a good writing week. Being stuck at home due to ice/snow all week will do that for you. If you’ve seen the Texas weather on the news this week, well, I live right in the middle of all that. We just don’t get weather like that here usually. I was extremely blessed and didn’t lose power or water. I had no internet for four days, but that’s a small thing compared to people having no heat in single-digit temps.

I got in my three fiction sessions, and I also wrote seven book reviews (with no internet for most of the week, I was unable to work from home, so I had a lot of extra free time to read).

Sundays are for Writing #108

This was an interesting writing week. Three book reviews, and no fiction writing…because I realized that, although I’m only 40 pages into the new story, nothing is really happening (except for the opening scene), and I am, in essence, just feeling out the characters.

I think the Muse has been trying to tell me she’s bored, so I finally listened. Instead of three actual writing sessions, I did three sessions of brainstorming. I think the setting is key to fixing this issue, and now I know how I want to change that. I’ll probably spend this next week fine-tuning the idea, then see if I can use any of what I have with the new setting.

Happy writing!

More book reviews and fiction this week! Only two book reviews, as I DNFed one of the books I was supposed to read (it was way too slow), but I got in three fiction-writing sessions. I hope you had a good writing week!

Happy writing!

Sundays are for Writing #106

I finally got back to writing book reviews this week! Three of them, to be exact. And three fiction sessions, so it was a good writing week. Still trying to get comfortable with the new story and the new characters, but it’s slowly happening.

Happy writing!

Sundays are for Writing #105

Another week of writing no book reviews and getting in three fiction-writing sessions. Some days, just one page makes me happy.

Happy writing!

Sundays are for Writing #104

I hope everyone had a good (writing) week! I’m still reading strictly for fun (apart from my monthly reading selections), so no book reviews, but I did get in three fiction writing sessions. The characters are starting to sort themselves out a bit, so it’s the fun part.

Happy writing!
