Calming the Chaotic Mind (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/books.php/item_id/1501794-Calming-the-Chaotic-Mind I swear! I think my entire writing history is littered with dilemmas as I try and wade through what I should do. What I "should" do is maybe write another short story or two and get them posted here. However, I'm currently working on 2 novels with a 3rd being planned. That doesn't leave much time for short stories. My "dilemma" is...[Read Full Post] Sun, 05 Dec 2010 02:35:20 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/713029 Okay, that does it. I have my goal and I'm going to shoot for it. I want to be a published author. While I've had that dream for YEARS, it's time I pulled it out and did something about it. Dreaming about it does no good if you're not willing to work for it. Some dreams are like that, you know. I'm starting to build my name outsid...[Read Full Post] Sun, 28 Nov 2010 17:35:20 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/712539 I woke up this morning to several messages from my group here on WDC who are part of the NaNo Write-A-Thon. They're all working so hard towards the goal and trying to get our little group to make a good showing in the contest. I feel bad "dropping out" to go slower. I could always make a note to myself saying that I 'turned on the heat&#3...[Read Full Post] Sun, 21 Nov 2010 12:52:54 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/711921 Sometimes, making decisions while I'm tired isn't good, and yet, sometimes it's when I need to make them. When I'm tired, my guard drops and my mind opens up. At these times, I sometimes see things more clearly. So, while I'm here, completely exhausted, I had a thought. What it boils down to is this... My book started out great,...[Read Full Post] Sun, 21 Nov 2010 00:29:04 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/711893 First of all, thank you [Link To User j.s.wayne] for your lovely review of my rough draft. You have given me new hope in my book when I thought all was lost in some land of boringness. I will definitely keep writing and see it through to the end, as there's no telling what my characters will do. As a matter of fact, I managed to extricate my MMC...[Read Full Post] Wed, 10 Nov 2010 23:48:11 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/711047 This is taken verbatim from my NaNoWriMo 2010 blog I'm doing using Blogger. This is what I get for reading too many other people's opinions on NaNo. lol I apologize if any published writers who understand NaNo completely get offended at this. Just please realize that this was in "response" to a few particular things I've read rece...[Read Full Post] Sat, 06 Nov 2010 01:49:08 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/710476 I accepted the challenge of writing a blog entry a day during NaNo 2010. With that in mind, I'm only writing out there until the end of November. Feel free to tag along: [Link: 'http://mynanowrimo2010.blogspot.com/'] It's a lot like this one, only out on Blogger. lol It's been fun. I've missed one day since I started, a...[Read Full Post] Sat, 30 Oct 2010 11:10:20 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/709781 Tonight, I went out to Barnes and Noble with a new friend I met through NaNo. She's in the area and we decided to get together before NaNo started. Oh, tonight was so much fun! We've gotten together one time before, and I learned that she is a freelance writer. She makes decent enough money by the sounds of it. Tonight, while we were at B&N,...[Read Full Post] Thu, 28 Oct 2010 01:37:56 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/709596 As with any writing project, you run into problems. I'm sure that I'm not the only one who has that happen. My recent problem has been in the form of 'The Dark Rider.' Nothing is wanting to click, none of the characters are wanting to play nice, nothing. Perhaps it's pouting over the fact that I literally threw away the 3 chapters...[Read Full Post] Sat, 23 Oct 2010 20:04:56 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/709134 This is funny. There was a challenge on the NaNo boards to blog every day of your NaNo journey. Not sure how that's funny... But the fact that I set up a separate blog out on Blogger is. See, that's amusing because I'll probably blog about some of it here, too! hahaha I swear. Extra words like that should count. Maybe I should run a s...[Read Full Post] Thu, 21 Oct 2010 00:37:07 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/708958
