Hey guys!

Seems we’ve all had a busy season 😛 I got a new job and was directing a drama for the past couple months, but now that the drama’s done I hope to be around more. I’ve missed it here!

WHAHOO! 😀

Hey guys!

How’d the writing go this week?!

I just submitted my word count to the form. (Brandon linked it in one of his post on page one of this convo in case you haven’t submitted yet!)

@brandon-miller

Whoa. Scapple looks amazing!

Excellent. I’m so glad the race is back on.  😀

Did you get some words down this week with the word war and all?!

Oh cool another word war! I’m in! 😀 (and yay you have actual writing @brandon-miller ! All the excitement!)

@corkybookworm

Hey there! I left my comments in the doc! <3 Overall thought… ADORABLE.

I love how Greyson and Lenora interact!

(love how the glass slippers come about btw 😉 )

I’d love to see more someday!

@corkybookworm

Ahh!  Cinderella is my favorite. 😀 So I ‘m looking forward to reading this! Could you repost the link? I’m having troubles finding it in your original post. 🙂

@brandon-miller haha. The explosive weekend was GLORIOUS. I was “exploding” with excitement that weekend, mainly having to do with finishing my first draft. 🙂 Yeah not so much public news on channel 6 but you saw that exclusive in my newsletter so… 😛

@corkybookworm @brandon-miller

I FINISHED THE BOOK LAST NIGHT. *squeaks* it’s so unreal.

Thank you for all the check ins and encouragement. I couldn’t have done it without you guys believing in me.  Much appreciation for you guys. *hands you muffins*

This week’s been shaping up to fantabulous with a hint of explosive excitement to erupt this weekend. *nods* yep that pretty much sums it up.

Ooh y’all have good favorite songs this week.  I have two this week. Wherever I Go by Dan Bremnes.  And Train Tracks by Jacob Montague because folksy feel + harmonies = YASSS!

I has snow. That has ice on t…[Read more]

@scribbles

Thank YOU for how much you poured into this place.

And for being my squirrel buddy. 😀 *hugsback*

It’s so wonderful to see God working in your life in this way and I’m LOVING seeing Him working through you.  (I’ll be around still to watch what else He does. I doubt you can shake me and my squirrels 😛 )

Thanks for sharing friend!…[Read more]

@corkybookworm @brandon-miller

Estimated 16,000 words for this month. 😀 That leaves me with about 8,000 ish words to finish ‘er off. (with the more complicated ending and all that jazz)

I’m thinking I can get this first draft wrapped up by the end of the week 😀 which is a LOT closer to my original goal than the second one I set. Yay! Thanks…[Read more]

Really booking… hahaha 😀

Counterattack was not as bad as expected. My characters merely complained about being overworked underpaid yada, yada…

Okay, but I felt a little brain dead over the weekend but wrote close to 1,800 words yesterday so not too shabby.

Haha it just feels so much like a train chugging. Slowly. Up a mountain.

@happyholly_c

WAY TO GO GIRL! That was super close.

Where are you at in this novel? Has it just begun, in the middle or near the end? 🙂

@brandon-miller

haha. yeah.  *shakesheadatcomplicatedendings*

Okay, okay, but I CRUNCHED the words this week. :O I about fainted when I wrote two chapters in THREE days.  That’s about double what I’ve typically been writing per week. 😀

Anyway… yeah come back and annoy me cause words like to crunch me back.

@happyholly_c

Attainable goals! Woot! Did you get some words in this week?

Haha! So the ending became more complicated than I realized and needs more writing to finish up than I originally calculated. So my new goal is set to finish the first draft, February 16th (I wrote it in big fancy gold letters in my writer’s planner 🙂 )

Here goes nothin’ 😀
