Sundays are for Writing #281

This has been a solid writing week: I got in five fiction sessions and two book reviews, Loyally, Luke, by Pepper Basham and The Way of the Hermit, by Ken Smith. That last book was a surprisingly interesting read to me, and I really loved the descriptions of the Scottish wilderness.

Happy writing!

Despite this being a bit of a chaotic week at work, it was a good writing week. I got in five fiction sessions, and also wrote three book reviews, The Sicilian Inheritance, by Jo Piazza, Bless Your Heart, by Lindy Ryan, and A Burden of Ice and Bone, by Kyra Whitton.

This was a great writing week—and I was out of town Monday-Friday for training. I wrote three book reviews: The Elusive Truth of Lily Temple, by Joanna Davidson Politano, What’s Eating Jackie Oh?, by Patricia Park, and The One That Got Away with Murder, by Trish Lundy. The first and last books are worth reading. The middle one…not so much. I also got in five fiction sessions.

This was a solid writing week: I got in five fiction sessions, and two book reviews, The British Booksellers, by Kristy Cambron and The Reappearance of Rachel Price, by Holly Jackson. Busy week with family in town, a birthday party for my nephew, and my aunt in the hospital, so I’m pleased I stuck to my writing.

This wasn’t a great writing week: I wrote one book review, Love, Unscripted, by Denise Hunter, and four fiction sessions. This is the first week all year I haven’t met my goal of five fiction-writing sessions each week. :/ Work was tough this week, though, and I was exhausted. Hopefully next week will be better!

This was a decent writing week: I got in five fiction sessions and wrote one book review, The Trail of Lost Hearts, by Tracey Garvis Graves. I really enjoyed this read quite a bit.

Despite traveling/being gone for work this week, it was still a solid writing week. I got in five fiction sessions, and three book reviews: Expiration Dates, by Rebecca Serle (not sure how I feel about this read), The Last Bloodcarver, by Vanessa Le (excellent read), Sincerely, the Duke, by Amelia Grey (solid romance read). I also wrote my March reading post, and my best books of March post.

Happy Easter!

It’s been a good writing week: five fiction sessions and three book reviews. The Berlin Letters, by Katherine Reay was an excellent read, but I DNFed Maya’s Laws of Love, by Alina Khawaja and The Happiness Blueprint, by Ally Zetterberg. The characters just weren’t for me.

This was a good writing week! I wrote Four book reviews, and got in five fiction sessions. An Unlikely Proposition, by Rosalyn Eves (This read like watching a telenovela), Good Half Gone, by Tarryn Fisher (DNFed because I didn’t like the MC), A Feather So Black, by Lyra Selene (I really liked this and can’t wait to read more!), and Bad Like Us, by Gabriella Lepore (This was a kind of YA locked room murder mystery—but I didn’t like the victim at all, so I wasn’t too invested.).

The fiction sessions were mainly brainstorming a do-over and working on bits of a re-write because I decided I didn’t like the genre or world I was writing in, So there’s that.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!

This was a solid writing week: one book review, The Summer She Went Missing, by Chelsea Ichaso, and five fiction writing sessions. Is it bad if I realize, while writing, that I know I’m wandering a bit and the second draft will have to be reigned in a lot? I hope not. I keep telling myself I’m just trying to get a feel for the character…

Happy writing!
