Something Wicked is Now Done

Took me until this morning, but it's finished. Came out a little shorter than I anticipated, but not by much.

Wicked 1 (Contemporary)


Monday, I'll tackle the next one.

Mojo

I started a new short last night while the kids were in b'ball practice!!!I got 1000 words PLUS a bunch of handwritten stuff. I'm hoping I can knock it out this weekend.

Busy, Busy, Busy

So busy, I've fallen behind on goal updates. Since the last time I posted, I signed a contract with Cobblestone for Wickedly Ever After (release date sometime in May, unless something changes), completed the first round of edits on According to Luke, and started the first of several planned shorts for the new Wicked line. It's almost done now:

Wicked 1 (Contemporary)


The goal is to finish that one up today and start on the next one, so that I have two to submit when the line opens to in-house authors on February 7. It may be tight, since I expect the second one to run a little longer.

Wicked 2 (Regency)


And what about my full-length request from the agent? Honestly, I just haven't been able to contemplate tackling it. I may decide it's just not worth the effort, but I'm still thinking about it. We'll see.

These will be my last words for the day...

I added 5,297 new words to the novel.



Yeah, I'm all outta words for now.

Goodnight.

Back to school = writing!

Yes, that's right. I got back into writing today. But I'm not going back in with revision or a short story. No, I'm embarking on the adventure that is writing a novel. And baby, we have a progress meter:

Okay, so I was (secretly) hoping to get past the 4,000 word stage. But you know what, after not writing a single new word for several weeks, this is awesome! And I'm loving the darkness of this story already.

There you have it, guys. I'm back. ;)

Fast Draft

Not that some of you need speed demons it, but Candace Havens is doing a Fast Draft (next week I think), if you are interested.

150 words or less

I also write Flash Fiction under my "other" name...and am preparing a submission today (i,e, I hand wrote the story yesterday and it came in over the word count by a bit...so I'll be typing it in, editing, and polishing today. Has to be under 150 words ~ it'll take me as long to finish 150 words as it does some days to write 500. Strange but true...

So, that's what I'm up to today. What about y'all? Got lots of good goals for this week to share? Finishing up goals for the month (there's still a few days left)? So spill...

Gotta Fiinish it

Ok, so I've been working on this story for over a year and only have around 3000 words written. I keep editing the part over and over. So I'm gonna quit and just finish it. I'm thinking this story'll be around 10k. I'm gonna try to at least write 2k a week
