Sundays are for Writing #359

I wrote about 1k on the fiction project. Work was very challenging this week, and I actually DNFed four books this week. I’m not sure if it’s because my reading time is limited so it has to be really solid to grab my attention, or the books I’ve been picking up lately are just that meh, but that’s 15 books I’ve DNFed so far this year.

The ones this week were A Good Animal, by Sara Mauerer (I couldn’t take the leisurely pace.), The Fall of Iris Henley, by Jennifer Graham (I made it about 35% through when the social media toxicity and everyone being nasty started, and I just couldn’t.), The Wicked and the Damned, by Rebecca Robinson (I really liked the first book in this series, but I just couldn’t make myself care here.), and The Valley of Vengeful Ghosts, by Kim Fu (I cannot stand passive, woe-is-me people, so, NO.).

Happy writing! (And reading, for that matter.)

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!

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!

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?

This was a good writing week! I wrote three book reviews, Silver & Blood, by Jessie Mihalik, The Unwritten Rules of Magic, by Harper Ross, and Carnival Fantástico, by Angela Montoya.

I also brainstormed two scenes for the fiction project I plan to work on this year. I didn’t work on fiction at all last year, so…I’m feeling pretty good about this progress.

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.

I didn’t write any book reviews this week…because I didn’t have very much time to read. Oh well. Maybe next week!

Happy writing!

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.

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!
