There are two things I’m going to talk about today in terms of word count. First, about the current project. Then I’ll talk about my midyear accounting. I am normally all about the word count when it comes to writing. I have a fuzzy daily goal with a stronger weekly goal. Normally, it’s all about, […]

I’d started a new novel this week. It was about a girl who has no magic in a world where magic was completely common and used for everyday tasks, such as lighting a room or having running water. However, I kept having problems every time I sat down to write. At first, I thought it

So I’m feeling as though I’m finally back to normal. I know that doesn’t make a lot of sense, I haven’t technically been sick. However, I have regularly been having “off” days since the 11th (and today’s the 26th.) As of yesterday, though, I no longer feel as though I’m going to have my period

Today, I start writing on the next novel. Its novel number 42. The working title is, “Magicless.” She’s one of the few who cannot use magic in a world where magic is as common as electricity. Most people just wave a hand. She has to go do something physical, like turning the knob on a

Last week wasn’t a good week when it came to exercise. I had several meh days. Plus I had the day of weird urges when I overate, and this weekend, when I had a lot to drink. However, the scale still shows I’m losing weight. YAY! I was honestly a little shocked this morning. Took

Woo AND hoo!  The final book in the Troll Wars trilogy is now available! I AM SO EXCITED! I hope that you love this series as much as I enjoyed writing it. But don’t worry – there will be one last trilogy, dealing with Christine finding a mate, and what happens when someone comes after

Yesterday was a weird day. Not a good day. I recognize that it could have been a very bad day, if I wasn’t hardcore keto. Woke up feeling as though my cycle was going to start at any time. Felt that way the entire day. (Of course it didn’t start. It’s going to wait until

I went into this morning prepared for the scale needle to not have moved at all. Last week wasn’t the greatest when it came to getting my steps in. I had quite a few days when I didn’t get anywhere near 10K steps. And while I was hungry, I was also eating more, so I

I was on a podcast yesterday. It was silly and fun. Go here (https://youtu.be/gKqoec9ybSM) if you want to hear me blather for 90 minutes about books, writing and such. ION – today is a much better day. Feeling pretty good. Lots of brain. Still a little weak. It was pretty obvious when I did yoga

My migraine yesterday lasted until about 4:30, so 12 hours more or less. Which is typical for me and migraines. They’re not going to last 2-3 hours. It’s going to be 12 or more, sometimes spreading out to 2-3 days. What wasn’t typical was that I still felt pretty meh afterward. One of the characteristics
