Happy to Report: It's NaNoWriMo Time!

Every November since 2009 I have participated in NaNoWriMo... 

Some projects I finish. 

Some get shelved. None of them have been published, except this one. 

Four years ago. It was the last book I published. The other 2 parts in the trilogy sit there, pestering me. Daily. This book changed me somehow and gave me the longest-running writer's block in years. 

Until a few months back when I started a new writing project that I cranked out in record time. Today, I shelve that project to start something I've been knocking around since last fall. The outline has been written. The bits and pieces I have jotted down for the last year are being placed within the outline today. 

November, I already hate you, but the challenge has been accepted. Let's see if I can finish this project. And who knows, maybe I'll actually publish 2 books instead of one in the next few months. We shall see.

Still Me. Just New Slogans and Such.

  New year, new me, right? Isn't that what everyone says at the start of a new year?  I am still here.

But, I know I need to. It has to be done. 

Happy to Report: She Writes Things - Anthology Update

  I tell you what.... time sure has flown by since my last post. I don't even know how that happened. But I do know the anthology isn't ready yet.  I have removed all of the separate works (books) from the retailer's sites. I had to wait a period for all of those to be removed and am happy to report that they are all gone.  That was important because if I were to have those lingering and tried to upload the anthology, the retailers, Amazon especially, would ping me for duplicate and/or plagiarized content, and it would turn into this giant headache. While I have all of my documents in Word and saved to an external hard drive and on the cloud, I put them all into one large Google Doc. Easy for me to edit and work on using whatever device I wanted.  Well, with a document that long, my s pell checker and Grammarly were playing very ugly with each other, and it was slowing down the typing and editing process, causing a large amount of frustration.  I then decided to...
