February’s Prompt

My January story is posted. You might be wondering what prompted the story that emerged. I honestly don’t know. I didn’t write from an outline like I have in the past. Instead, what I did is every time I sat down to work on it, I just wrote what came to mind. The process ended… Continue reading

What have I been doing?

Tech Problems

Chapter Break Down

Well… I didn’t reach my goal this past week. I wanted to reach 19978 words, and I only made it to 18,435. However, even though I didn’t get quite as much done as I was hoping, I did find myself at the desk more with my draft and notes actually trying to work on it.… Continue reading
