Last but not least …

The third book in the cover contest gets posted today! Which one do you pick?

Cover winners… book two…

I’m enjoying the discussions of the covers for Breath. The interesting thing about cover design is that it’s largely subjective. What appeals to people is depends on their backgrounds, their preferred genres, their cultures, education, socio-economic level, and gender among other things. With all the variables it’s a wonder we can agree on anything! But [...]

Cover Contest Winners! Here we go….

First let me apologize once again for how long it’s taken me to get these underway. All kinds of things just conspired against me having any time to work on them. Paying work has to come first, because, this is my job after all. Writing and holding contests are just my hobby! So here goes.

So if you want to enter your Nanowrimo [...]

NaNo Uh Oh?

I have really fallen behind on my word count. I missed writing for five days! I have no a chance in Hades to catching up to the others in my writing circle, they are all closing in on 20,000 or surpassing it! That’s right where they should be on day 12 of the month long [...]

Poems, word counts, and feeling productive.

Hey! It’s November and NaNoWriMo has started. I went to my first “write-in.” It was fun and productive. My word count after the first session? (drum roll here) 3,158! Yay me. The daily goal is 1,667, but since I won’t have time to write every day… I’m trying to do more when I can write.

I’m in!

All right, I am going to do Nanowrimo next month too! I started to feel guilty about offering prizes to the rest of you Nanowrimo-ers(?) when I wasn’t even giving it a try. So I signed up, and I will be attempting to add words to a novel I’ve fallen off track with. I know [...]
