Current Word Count: 80,188 Well, I hit my word count goal, but I am still writing. I knew this would happen, so I am not freaking out. See, preparation (even if it is only mental) is good. I have written 1,187 words today and am not finished. Although I will keep writing tonight, it will […]
Current Word Count: 64,735 We have season passes to Elitch Gardens Theme Park and the kids love it. I, on the other hand, go on very few rides. I’m not sure what happened, because I used to ride all the thrill rides as a kid at Six Flags Over Georgia. I cannot even stomach the […]
Current Word Count: 55,238 We arrived home (Denver) yesterday, and I am still recovering from all the travel. Is that why people say they need a vacation from their vacation? I just need a minute to unpack, do laundry, and get back to normal life. I am thankful that I got the opportunity to be […]
Current Word Count: 51,379 We made it back to Dad’s house from Jacksonville. It was a long road, but worth the adventures.

Then we were good (mutually respectful) for awhile. Next thing I knew Ma (the cat) told me she didn’t like where my story was going and wrote […]
Current Word Count: 42,967 It has been a long day, but I managed to add to my book (1,262 words). I also made a friend while writing on my Sister’s front porch steps. The cat’s name is long and complicated with a story of some sort, but they call her Ma for short. I told […]
Soak that in for a moment…. I get to write in this beauty all weekend. I am a lucky girl. My family and I are at a camp in Gypsum, Colorado. It will mostly be family time, with a bit of writing in-between. Lets see if my word count actually goes up by Monday. Current […]
Current Word Count: 30,760 Generally, I write early in the morning and throughout the day, when I can. I get up at 5:00 AM, give or take 10 – 15 minutes. I do not set an alarm, my body has simply decided that super early in the morning is a great time to get up. […]
