So on this post I mentioned that my word count was zero. Nada. Zilch. And now my friends my word count is…drumroll please…20,292 words! I am stocked, excited, downright giddy at the progress I’ve made in a month’s time. Actually, less than a month’s time, because I’ve been sick for two weeks, and didn’t get [...] My first two novels tackle subjects that I am very familiar with. Hair. But with this next book, (when, oh when will I be finished with this thing?) I felt the need to stretch myself. The saying, “Write what you know” holds true at first. But on my third book, I feel the need to [...] Okay, I know I’ve been absent for a few days. The daughter has been sick with a bad stomach virus that I’m praying that I don’t catch. She’s on the mend so I’m back on the blog. And what news to share! The wonderful Sarah Pekkanen will be stopping by the blog on Monday! Her [...] Hey guys, the hubby is off work this week and so I plan to take this week off from the blog to finish revising my book. (That and getting some good ‘ole fashioned reading done. So far digging Sarah Pekkanen’s The Opposite of Me.) But don’t worry I’ll be back Monday with new posts about [...] Whoops! Tomorrow turned into a week didn’t it? Sorry about that, sometimes life just gets in the way. On my last post I mentioned that I would have to re-write the first 100 pages of my WIP. Well, I have good news. Things aren’t as bad as I previously stated. Yes, my novel needs work, [...] I’m almost there guys. I’m about 100 pages away from finishing this novel. Let me rephrase that…I’m 100 pages away from finishing my second draft of this novel. I don’t know if I should laugh or cry, but I feel like crying. Let me explain. Imagine you’re running a marathon. You hear the whistle [...] So I’m done with round one of revisions, (can you hear the glee in my voice?) and now I’m on to round two. Like I’ve mentioned before I’m doing this book a little different than my previous books. As Maya Angelou says, “I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know [...] Day one of revisions. I have so many post it notes everywhere I can barely see my desk. I have a lot of work ahead of me, but I feel like the hard part is over. Time to make this book come alive! One of my favorite memories growing up was the family [...] So on my last post I mentioned that I finished my book. (How many times am I going to mention this you ask? Hmmm, how ‘bout one more—I finished my book! Squeee!) I go over my draft several times before I let a few people in my circle read it. But before I begin [...] |
I’m a Women’s Fiction writer with two novels under my belt, Six O’clock and Unbeweaveable. Curl Up and Write is where I fuse my two loves: hair and writing. You’d be surprised at the similarities! When I’m not writing, I’m watching How’s It Made with my Hubby (and pretending I’m not interested in learning how a tennis racket is built), or I’m reading to my daughter. I also dabble in gardening, love to cook, and watch way too much HGTV.  |
