Unless I pull myself together and write roughly 1,500 words daily over the course of 37 days, I won’t reach my goal of a finished draft (second book) by April 1st. I don’t always see goals through to completion: it’s an issue I’m very much aware of. Why do I give up so easily? LackContinue reading “Days 19-21 of the Love Write Now Pledge”

Days 17 & 18 of the Love Write Now Pledge
I’m more a Spring kind of girl, and yet, most of my creative inspiration this week has come from Winter’s beauty. I created a winter wonderland in the draft of my second book, watched documentaries about the Nordic regions, and took pictures of ice crystals on my windshield. I’ve learned to be more present, awareContinue reading “Days 17 & 18 of the Love Write Now Pledge”
Days 12 & 13 of the Love Write Now Pledge
I spent yesterday and today surrounded by that which I love: family, writing, books, and genealogy. Between watching my 7-year-old niece cheat at basic card games and breaking through a genealogical brick wall, I fell asleep with joy and pride in my heart. Today, Valentine’s Day, I shared this day with some of my favoriteContinue reading “Days 12 & 13 of the Love Write Now Pledge”
Day 11 of the Love Write Now Pledge
Every now and again, when in need of a writing boost, I seek out the beauty of nature. Such was the case today! I found a bench near a nearby lake, gazed out on the frozen water, and felt refreshed. I wrote feverishly as seagulls squawked and the crisp wind blew, reminded that beauty existsContinue reading “Day 11 of the Love Write Now Pledge”
Day 10 of the Love Write Now Pledge
Fun fact about me – I will randomly burst out in musical theatre songs. I. Love. Musicals. 🥰😍🥰🎭 My love affair with musical theatre began as a young child whose parents played soundtracks for me when I was sick. From then on, my spirit knew its home. I’ve written many times about the various showsContinue reading “Day 10 of the Love Write Now Pledge”
Day 9 of the Love Write Now Pledge
Well, it happened – I fell asleep last night without posting a Day 9 update. 🤦♀️🤦♀️😴 So today you’ll get two for one! I had almost the entire day to do as I wanted and yet I wrote absolutely nothing. Zilch. Nada. Squat. It wasn’t for a lack of trying. I opened the draft ofContinue reading “Day 9 of the Love Write Now Pledge”
Day 8 of the Love Write Now Pledge
Dreams have always fascinated me, even from childhood. There’s something so intriguing about the blend of mind, body, and spirit when I consider why and how we dream. It piques this writer’s curiosity. I dream in vivid colors with memorable “characters” and a wild mix of details – some of which I only have toContinue reading “Day 8 of the Love Write Now Pledge”
Day 6 of the Love Write Now Pledge
Today’s update is short: I barely wrote anything of substance. I jotted down more fan fic ideas (see Day 2), stared at the unfinished draft of my second book, and returned to genealogy research. I don’t feel all that productive with today’s writing count, and yet I’m proud that I pushed myself to write evenContinue reading “Day 6 of the Love Write Now Pledge”
Day 5 of the Love Write Now Pledge
I can easily spend hours a day doing genealogy research. The excitement, challenge, determination to solve a puzzle keeps me glued to my rather uncomfortable chair. Sometimes, I can get lost in the past and miss out on the present. Today was not such a day thanks to my seven-year-old niece. Though immersed in myContinue reading “Day 5 of the Love Write Now Pledge”
Day 1 of the Love Write Now Pledge
Two days from the date of this post (in the second month of 2022), my debut novel turns 2!!!! Can you tell by my overuse of exclamation points how excited I am? 😉 About a month after THE SPIRIT PROJECTOR’s release in 2020 the world went quiet due to COVID-19; so too did my enthusiasmContinue reading “Day 1 of the Love Write Now Pledge”
