At 51,839 words. Feel like this book has turned into a donkey that I keep beating, trying to get it to submit to my will. But just like a donkey, my novel just sits there, looking at me with vacant eyes as if saying, “Is this all you’ve got?”
Watching the Oscars Sunday night, I [...] At 47,819 on my WIP. Haven’t written much in the past week, will try to stick to my schedule. How funny is it that the girl who wrote Six O’clock, the girl who was told that the she could hoola-hoop through a Cheerio, the girl who was told that she would have to marry a [...] Doesn’t Monique just glow in this picture?

Not completely. (Are you crazy? And miss an episode of Survivor? No way, Jose.) But I am toning things down a bit. I don’t have the time to lay out and watch hours of TV anymore. [...] Glad that Chris Rock is opening up a dialogue about black [...] Fall is here! I’m talking about all the exciting things I have in store for [...] |
