Hi! Big news: I\’ve got a book in a big boxed set of urban fantasy and paranormal romance novels. With authors from the USA Today and NYT bestseller lists, this ebook \”boxed set\” is a the collected work of talented writers from around the world. It\’s an honor to have been included. The set is …
It\’s been a fun journey. I\’m on Day 22 now, looking back. It\’s been a challenging trip. The goal: in 21 days, write, edit, and upload a novel. Mission accomplished. The final book was uploaded to Amazon at about 10:30PM on the 21st day. A lot of other people were inspired to work hard over …
Been a busy couple of days at the day job. Thursday, as seems to be the norm, was a \”no writing\” day. Didn\’t get any time during the 17 hour shift to get any edits in. Friday was mostly a packing day, but I did manage to get a few more chapters done. So at …

And the grand total at the end of the day: 45, 062 words! It was a long battle, but I got in 6025 words to finish another day on target. My biggest frustration right now, really, is that the story just isn\’t as long as I was planning it to be. I\’m very much below …
As predicted, I did NOT hit my 6k target for today, making today the first day I didn\’t reach the goal for words. But that\’s OK – I had a 2400 word cushion already built up, which allowed me to take this afternoon and evening and spend a bunch of time seeing friends I hadn\’t …
