Mallory thinks that sounds good and she’d love for you to join her, @daeus . 😉 🙂

Anyone up for some writing?
How about you, @kate-flournoy @daeus @dragon-snapper @winter-rose and/or whoever else might like to join me? 🙂

I laughed when I read your questions, @winter-rose . 🙂

How far into my book am I? I’d say my story is a lot like Battleship when you’ve got pins sporadically placed all over your gameboard but none of the ships are sunk yet so you know the battle’s only just beginning …

So…it’s kinda hard to track my progress at this point, but I have…[Read more]

That’s alright, @winter-rose. I think I’m done for now anyway. I wrote about 223 words. I don’t know if I’ll wind up using any of it, but that’s the beauty of a first draft. No worries … ish. 🙂 Thanks for writing with me too!

A little is better than none. Good luck on your project. 🙂 (I don’t exactly believe in luck but I still haven’t…[Read more]

Sounds good! @winter-rose 🙂

I kept on writing and wrote about 625 words. Thanks for joining me, @daeus and @dragon-snapper ! I had already written some earlier, but writing with you guys encouraged me to keep going. Sounds like y’all had good writing sessions too. 🙂

I’ll write again and join you at 5:30 @winter-rose if you want. 🙂

Cool beans, @daeus . Sounds perfect. 🙂

I’m about to tackle some more writing. Anyone up for joining me? I keep missing everyone who asks me …

Sure thing, @bluejay ! 🙂

Anyone up for some writing? @daeus @kate-flournoy @bluejay & anyone else whose tag escapes me at the moment. 😉 🙂

Very funny, @kate-flournoy . You are so encouraging. 😉 (Actually, you really are) 🙂 Sometimes, well, all of the time, writing a novel seems like way too big of a task for me, but God is still bigger.

I’ll try to focus on what I love about writing and not second-guess myself so much.

Thanks, all of you. It’s awesome having writing pals I can…[Read more]

Anyone want to write for half an hour? 🙂

Thanks, @winter-rose , @bluejay ! Glad y’all got so much writing accomplished. 🙂

Names can be difficult. How do you usually come up with them?

I usually try to go with the first (or second) name that pops into my head when I think of the character or place, then stick to and trust my original instinct as much as possible. I don’t usually…[Read more]

Well, I didn’t actually write anything, but I reviewed what I last wrote and actually kinda liked it. So … that’s a start. 🙂 😀

Alright, I’ll join you @bluejay and go for 10 minutes. (I’m taking baby steps) 😉

Honestly, @daeus , it’s the sense of obligation that’s killing me … my muse that is. Accountability does help, but if you don’t want to write … and lately I haven’t. It’s complicated, post-vacation can’t get my mind back on my work stuff.

All excuses, I know, but I think I’ll just do it now. I think I’m finally over it. Thanks for…[Read more]

So, where do you guys find your writing motivation? (I’m not talking inspiration. That’s everywhere but not really helping right now …)
