Insecure Writers SupportGroup

I am punching this blog post out on my phone, so please excuse any typos. ( Who am I kidding. I'm the typo queen and I don't need my phone to make them!)

Also, please forgive me for the lack of links and graphics, as my phone makes this much to difficult.

I signed up for camp nano and yesterday was the first day. How many words did I write?

0.

Today was epic fail in he writing world. I had two unexpected appointments and was gone all day. By the time I dragged my weary bones home at 10 tonight, I was so tired, my mind couldn't concentrate on writing. I hope to make it up tomorrow.

I hope.

After 20 years of hone schooling, I made the very difficult decision to send my children that are still school age, to a private school.

We are trying to find a house so we can get out of the camper and settled down before school starts.

These are the two biggest things that will nake my writing  insecure this month.

How about you?

    Sounds like you are very busy with home and family at the moment. I hope you find the perfect house for your family and that the children settle quickly and happily into their new school. I'm sure the writing will follow once you are settled.

    It's anew day! Don't worry about what didn't happen yesterday with your writing.
    Sorry you had to send your kids to a school. A private school is better than a public school though.

    Wow, sounds like a lot going on. Good luck with finding a house and settling in the kiddos. And with camp, remember not to mourn what you didn't achieve, but look forward to what you will.

    I've also signed up for Camp NaNo, and like you, circumstances have prevented me from writing anything yet. You're not alone! We'll both get there in the end :)

    Wow! Some big changes for you this month. You still have plenty of time left in the month, so don't despair about your writing goals yet! All you need are a couple of kick-butt writing days where your Muse perches on your shoulder and whispers in your ear. Good luck!

Writer in Motion Round two

Hey beautiful guys and dolls!! Welcome to my first post during WRITER IN MOTION round two. I was lucky enough to be chosen in the raffle to have my short, 1,000 word or less flash fiction chosen to be edited by a professional editor! So, follow along  my journey as I go from prompt to polished draft in for weeks. Out first post is prepping for the first draft. Given the prompt, what were my first thoughts and what did I do to prep the character, story, and plot?? HEre's the photo prompt: Honestly, it didn't speak me. At all. I was lost, and my excitement quickly deflated like a helium balloon stuffed in the back of a dark closet. Not because I didn't like the photo. I LOVED it. But because I was completely lost in ideas. So, I put the put the picture away, and ignored it. Well, that's not true. The photo haunted me for hours. Who was this girl? Why was she here? What had happened up to this point in time? That's when it hit me. Tell the story before...

GUTGAA Meet and Greet!

Hey everyone! I'm taking a quick break from vacation to introduce myself and say hi! I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone and meeting some new friends! -Where do you write? I live in a camper. My writing spot? Usually in bed. But sometimes I get a chance to write in the "living room" but that's rare. When I am at home (yay!) I have my own little office:) I love m space there and I can write during the day light hours. Oh, who am I kidding! That's rare. -Quick. Go to your writing space, sit down and look to your left. What is the first thing you see? My husband. Yeah, he sleeps with me! -Favorite time to write? At night. When it's quite. Aaahhh. Sweet quite. -Drink of choice while writing? Depends on the time of day I get to write. In the morning, coffee, coffee and more coffee. (with Creme Brulee creamer!) Afternoon it's iced coffee. After school, it's Dr. Pepper. Night it's water. -When writin...

Operation Agent Ink

UPDATE: PLEASE FILL OUT THIS QUESTIONNAIRE AFTER YOU SIGN UP. Have you ever wondered what agents were dying to find in their inbox/slush pile? There have been many times I entered a contest and not even received a comment, not even from one of the agents. Or maybe the agent was kind enough to leave a comment that simply said, "Sorry, this just isn't what I'm looking for, but I love the premise and your voice." I always walk away feeling unsatisfied. If I had known exactly what the agent wanted beyond, "YA" or "Fantasy" I might not have even entered a contest I knew I wouldn't win! Even more, I wasted a very busy agents time! Well, your time of guessing is up! OPERATION AGENT INK to the rescue! That's right! This workshop will help aspiring authors get on the list of an agent's WISH LIST! When the workshop is over, your manuscript will be ready to view by a group of AMAZING agents who are dying to see what you've wri...
