Weekend Writing Sat - Sun (February 16-17th) Tag #wwab to join in!

By Anonymous

All right. Getting going fairly early. Let's see if I can get myself some nice quiet writing time. Everyone has been taken care of and people are still asleep. This weekend, the two that are lowest in word count will be, as usual, the ones I work on. So that means. Saturday will be: DARK ILLUSIONS: THE FINAL CHAPTER and then tomorrow, Sunday, will be HOPE FOR THE FUTURE.

Saturday Updates

  • Starting the book at 22,190 words total
  • First break. Lunch! At about 1K. Going to be abouts because I went back and added words. So I'll be rounding up every time I update today.
  • Forgot to update. 3274 words so far. It's so funny. Started reading Dean Koont'z THE TAKING last night. There is a storm that arrives in the night. Harsh. Rain. And with a distinct smell. Possible aliens or something else (haven't got that far in the book). I'm about to share a teaser for you, but this is the sequences that just took place here. I wrote the teaser lines. Looked up. Noticed harsh rain hit. Out of nowhere. Saved the teaser. Rain disappeared ten minutes after it began. haha If that rain smells like semen, I'm grabbing my samurai sword and locking the doors. Here's your teaser.
final chapter tease copy
  • 4129 words. Head hurts. This is getting intense. Time to make dinner.
  • Ending the night at about 4800 words. Book is at 27,253 total. Going to do some editing on ALWAYS CONSEQUENCES before I call it quits. Join me tomorrow for Hope For the Future. :D

Sunday Updates

  •  Starting at a word count of 21, 806 words with HOPE FOR THE FUTURE today.
  • First stop 1334 words. Lunch and coffay! Bless ze coffee gods for all their miraculous lovely things they do for us writers. Amen. ;)
  • Break. We're at 3132 words. Ahead of normal. Good stuff. But, I have to get some cleaning and such done, so hopefully that won't set me back. So that's rather good I'm ahead of schedule.
  • Okay, stopped the above there. So the story is at: 24,938 words total. I'm trying to finish up ALWAYS CONSEQUENCES, but tonight we'll call it good. Eyeballs are about to bleed and I still need time to relax before bed. Sleep is something I can't sacrifice or I get physically sick. Shakes and such, even. So, I will go ahead and close down for the night. Get to my notes tomorrow on the bits I have to make sure I fixed from my editors notes on ALWAYS CONSEQUENCES. Make sure I stuck with the problematic areas. Hopefully be able to send the story to my two editors for a final once-over by tomorrow night. I am so grateful that everyone has had patience with me over this book. First one I have been way off on estimates of release date, but I really wanted to make sure I was thorough, instead of giving you a half-baked cake to eat and expecting you to like it. :) Personal issues at home that sent this house into chaos a few months back, too. Hopefully life will start becoming more normal after this month. More than likely not for a few months yet. I'm just hoping it will. Doing my best to get through this so you guys can have this next book 'cause I love you so much.

Silent relaxing sunday--wait it's Saturday. A day lost and found! :)

By
This week's   GBE   is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me.  That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even.  She said:  "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life."    Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works.  A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w...

(GBE 2:Blog On) First Love

By
Old post being reposted. GBE2: Blog On's Topic this week is: First Love Click the link to find out what GBE2: Blog On is and how YOU can participate. If you love writing and/or blogging, it's the place to go! Great people, great fun, what more could you ask for? FIRST LOVE When I first saw the topic for this week's GBE2, my first thought was of the friendship I walked away from just last week. He was one of my first love's. But I had already talked about it on a previous web post so I wanted something different. I just didn't want to focus on it. Today, while I was doing dishes, a.k.a inspiring myself, I thought of a different first love. To myself. I do too. I love myself. I may not always like myself... I mean come on, if you had to live with her 24/7 she might drive you batty too. But I do love myself. People can tell you so. I don't need to. Well I did, but... I'm digressing. I'm quirky, crazy (two different things there obbb...

(GBE2: Blog On) Let go of the reins and you'll know freedom

By
This week's (4th) GBE2: Blog On topic is "Control." For more info head here I admit it, I'm a type-A personality. It was a learned behavior. I felt as though I needed to be in constant control of everything around me. I worked 3 jobs and went for weeks on occasion without a day off. I still felt as though I wasn't doing enough. Not around the house, not with my friends, not for dating, not even for work. I just have always had this "I'm not doing enough" attitude instilled in me from a lot of the immediate people around me. So a lot of my behavior was ingrained so deep that I still suffer with that. I feel as though no matter what, I'm not doing enough, being the best I can be, and all of that great unhealthy attitude one should not have. But I do. And I know it's not good, but I still suffer with feeling inadequate because I am just not doing enough. Which is wrong. It's just something that I suffer with. I admit to it....
