Sundays Are for Writing #247

This was not a good writing week: I got in one fiction session…and that’s it. Better than nothing, I suppose, but life was just so busy this week! Work was super crazy and I worked around 50 hours. My dad had surgery on Tuesday, and instead of getting out of the hospital Wednesday as planned, he was in until yesterday. I ended up doing a 15k trail race yesterday that I hadn’t planned on, because my best friend’s mom had signed up and couldn’t go, and I had family and friends in town this weekend. I. Am. Tired. So, yeah. That’s it for me.

Happy writing!

Sundays Are for Writing #246

This has been a busy week, writing and life. I wrote one book review, The Hurricane Wars by Thea Guanzon, and one fiction session. I also wrote my September reading post and my best books I read in September post. I also DNFed four books (Man, that really sounds like a lot!): The Mis-Arrangement of Sara Saeed, Love Interest, Snow Place Like Home, and Silent City.

This next week will be even busier, but I hope to get two fiction writing sessions in and at least one book review.

Happy writing!

Sundays Are for Writing #245

It’s been an excellent writing week! I wrote two book reviews, Starter Villain, by John Scalzi, and Night of the Witch, by Sara Raasch and Beth Revis (review forthcoming). I also got in two fiction-writing sessions! Only 500 words each, but that’s more fiction than I’ve written in a loooong time, so I’m thrilled.

Happy writing!

I’m happy with this writing week: a review for The Roaring Days of Zora Lily, by Noelle Salaza, which was a fantastic historical fiction read, and I actually did some fiction-writing. Five hundred words is better than no words!

Sundays Are for Writing #243

This was an okay writing week: I wrote two book reviews and did some outlining on the fiction story. I wrote reviews for Bright Lights, Big Christmas, by Mary Kay Andrews and Case of the Bleus, by Korina Moss. Both will be out next week. Hopefully I’ll get a bit more reading done this week than last week. Now I’m off to write some fiction.

This week, I wrote two book reviews,The Spy’s Daughter, by Bianca M. Schwarz and The Forest Grimm, by Kathryn Purdie. They were both solid reads, but nothing that just blew me away (live tomorrow).

Happy writing!

Sundays Are for Writing #241

I was off most of this week, which was wonderful, and I got a lot of reading done. Not as much writing done, but I’m good with that. I reviewed The River Runs South, by Audrey Ingram and Main Character Energy, by Jamie Varon. I also unearthed an old manuscript of mine and have been reading over it.

Happy writing!

Sundays Are for Writing #240

This has been a decent writing week. I wrote three book reviews, Her Radiant Curse, by Elizabeth Lim, Letters from My Sister, by Valerie Fraser Luesse, and Kissing Kosher, by Jean Meltzer. I DNFed the last one because the characters annoyed me so badly–that’s the second book from this author I’ve DNFed for that reason–but I enjoyed the other two reads. I have some time off this next week, so I’m hoping to do plenty of reading AND writing.

Sundays Are for Writing #237

This was a great writing week! I wrote three book reviews: The Keeper of Hidden Books, by Madeline Martin, The Bone Hacker, by Kathy Reichs, and The Secret Recipe of Ella Dove, by Karen Hawkins. I also wrote my What I Read in July (2023) post and my The Best Books I Read in July (2023) post. I DNFed Deadlock, by James Byrne because it just didn’t hold my attention. I don’t foresee this week to be anywhere near that good.

Happy writing!

Sundays Are for Writing #231

Well…I wrote no book reviews this week because of work chaos and DNFing Ciao for Now, by Kate Bromley (I’m not sure why I thought that was going to be a good fit for me in the first place: I avoid social media and superficial people like the plague). I did write a post over on A Little Bit Greener, though: Hello, beautiful! Hopefully this week will be a better writing week!

Happy writing!
