Okay, I know we're already a week into October, but I've still got goals, and I've only just finished scooping my brain off the floor and pouring it back into my skull following my September Story Challenge. Anyway, it's October. Spooky Season. The month preceding November in which writers worldwide descend into the voluntary madness... Continue Reading →
2020 Submission Challenge: Finished Two Days Early
TL:DR: That time I submitted 17 stories 31 times over 29 days.
September Story Challenge 2020
Earlier in the year, I wrote a post about my 2020 writing goals, and then COVID happened. While Western Australia is in decent shape (no community transmission, no lockdown, very few active cases), the mental toll of watching the rest of the world burn has made writing incredibly difficult. I've put aside the novel I... Continue Reading →
How I’m Surviving NaNo2019
As I mentioned last post, I'm participating in NaNoWriMo this year. I was hesitant about doing NaNo again, cuz I find it to be a pretty hit or miss experience for me. Some years it's great for knocking out a rough draft and getting a story that's been in my head for a while down... Continue Reading →
Update and NaNo 2019
Hello. After the awesomeness of my September Writing Challenge, October was a bit more chill on the writing side of things. I met with my writing group to go over their feedback on one of my novels, and I've been working on rereading that novel and making my editorial notes before I dive into revisions....

Looking Towards September
I had several many goals, both writing and non-writing related during August. Let's see how I did, shall we? How'd I Do, August? Let's start with the writing goals first: I finished the revision pass on my current WIP and created my spreadsheet outline for the draft so that I can visualize the story structure...

The Have Done List
Like many people, I function as a result of my many to-do lists. I have one for each of my writing projects, one for household management, a create a new list everyday, and I frequently have a bigger picture list running for the week or month. But even though these lists help me remember to... Continue Reading →
December Postmortem
I set myself some difficult goals for December (difficult for me, at least, being the super introvert that I am). Let's see how that all went down, shall we? How'd I Do? Not great, at a summary, but let's break it down, shall we. 1.) Banjo. I haven't done as well with my banjo as... Continue Reading →
2018 In Review
I've done so much this year that it feels like I should just take next year off. Which is bizarre considering that I've just passed the first anniversary of resigning my full-time job. So what exactly did I do? In January, I finished my part of recording All Stove Up for Miners Creek and then... Continue Reading →
November Postmortem
Welp, it's that time again, where I make one post to write about all the things I did but failed to blog about. November was busy. I went to a con, I organized my desk (this is a huge deal, y'all), I actually finished - like washed, dried, folded, and put away - all my... Continue Reading →
