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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Coming back from vacation sucks. Coming back from the beach to cold weather and disasters at work sucks even worse. I did get some writing done this week, in the form of three book reviews: Persephone’s Curse, by Katrina Leno, The Italian Secret, by Tara Moss, and The Rebel and the Rose, by Catherine Doyle. The middle book was just meh, but the first and last ones were pretty fantastic.

Happy writing!
