Sundays are for Writing #261

This was a fantastic writing week! I got in five fiction-writing sessions, and I wrote three book reviews, too: A Body at the Seance, The Missing Witness (up on Tuesday), and It Takes a Rake (up on Thursday). I’m very happy with this amount of writing.

How was your writing week?

This was a fantastic writing week! I wrote one book review, Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherland, by Heather Fawcett (won’t be up until 1/18), and five fiction sessions!

Last February, I started trying to write every day, and I think I missed three days the rest of the year. However, “writing” consisted of fiction or book reviews or writing in my prayer journal. This year, I refined my goal. Yes, I still plan to write every day, but I want five of those writing sessions every week to be fiction (aiming for just 500 words/session). And this week, I hit that, so I’m celebrating.

I’m happy with this writing week! I was on vacation the first half, and the second half was…pretty horrible (working in health care is not for the faint of heart), so it all evened out. I wrote one book review, Shards of Glass, by Michelle Sagara, and did some behind-the-scenes stuff on the new fiction piece.

Happy writing!

This was a GREAT writing week! I wrote four book reviews: Highlands Christmas – Wishes Come True, by Amy Quick Parrish, The Predictable Heartbreaks of Imogen Finch, by Jacqueline Firkins, When I’m Dead, by Hannah Morrissey (will be up tomorrow), and Swarm, by Jennifer Lyle (up on Friday). Even better, I got in FIVE fiction writing sessions! This is the most writing I’ve done in a long, long time, and I’m very happy with it. How’s your writing week going?

Happy writing!

Sundays Are for Writing #218

This was a good writing week! I wrote four book reviews: Hotel of Secrets, by Diana Biller, Yours Truly, the Duke, by Amelia Grey, Please, Sorry, Thanks, by Mark Batterson, and When You Wish Upon a Star, by Elizabeth Lim (forthcoming on April 4th). I did a little bit of work over on my other blog, A Little Bit Greener, and I should have a related post up later today there. Also still toying with a fiction idea. I’m very pleased with this week’s writing.

Happy writing! 

Sundays Are for Writing #214

This week, I only wrote one book review–When the Moon Turns Blue, by Pamela Terry–but I worked three days, then went out of town for two days, so I’m good with that. About to start a new writing regimen, so I’m excited about that.

Happy writing!

It’s been an excellent writing week! Six book reviews + my May reading post and also a post about the best books I read in May (Spoiler alert: there were several.). No fiction. Things are very up-in-the-air at work, and I’m also working through a course from Hope Writers.

Happy writing!

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!

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 #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!
