Writing – The Accidental Domestic Goddess

This Is Fun

I’m still writing away at this novel every chance I get. A half hour here, a couple hours there. In between family, important tasks, and work. Every time I return, I reread where I left off. I get really into it, excited to see what I came up with next and then it stops andContinue reading “This Is Fun”

To Read, or to Write?

I’m finally getting into actually writing the first draft of my gothic fairytale. I’ve done enough research, backstory writing, and outlining to begin the tale and have gotten a few pages done. It feels good. But, I’ve got two books checked out of the library from one of those series I want to finish andContinue reading “To Read, or to Write?”

My Novel is Alive

I was trying to focus on the novel I started in high school, but noooo, this fairytale retold kept horning in on my thoughts. I tried to start writing it, but noooo, I needed to do historical research on many subjects. Then I had to write up an outline of each main characters’ backstory.

Cross Stitch Procrastination

I have found myself home alone and had the urge to work on my two page counted cross stitch project.

The amount of hours to get this far is crazy!Continue reading “Cross Stitch Procrastination”

If my discarded blog posts could be made into a physical pile of crumpled pages, I’d be buried in them. I keep getting these great ideas, but they morph into slippery blobs when I try to type them up. I can’t seem to stay on point and the rambling is really annoying. If I can’tContinue reading “It’s Not Working”

Journaling

I have been journaling since I was able to write. I still have my first diary packed away with all the other journals and notebooks I have recorded my life in. Over twenty of them. Every ten years I pull out that box and leaf through them. Since I met my husband I’ve been tooContinue reading “Journaling”

Slow Beginnings

*Deep breath* I’m currently working on two large writing projects, while also having a plethora of ideas for other, smaller writing projects. I’m using notebooks and pens. Ideas come in short bursts. Which leaves time for other things. Like another project in a different area. Both novels have been with me since my youth. IContinue reading “Slow Beginnings”

Reclaiming My Voice, with kids

Let’s talk about trying to write when you have kids and a husband. And there’s dinner… I get an idea, I ponder over it while busy with life, then I find a moment where everything is calm, sit down with my iPad, get a few lines in- a story just taking shape… No, you can’tContinue reading “Reclaiming My Voice, with kids”
