I am very happy to report 2 very exciting things.First, I had LASIK eye surgery last Saturday, and things are now WONDERFUL! I have suffered from severe myopia for most of my life, and to be able to wake up and see is absolutely amazing.However, this did slow down my writing for a couple days, hopefully understandably so. I …
That February Goal
That original goal of being completely done by February really crept up on me. For the longest time, it had just been a far off date, like a light glowing at the end of a very long tunnel. Now it's right around the corner and I'm facing the fact that I am just not going …
Resolutions
Resolutions. We all have them right? At least most of us have made one at some point in our life. They're almost always pretty generic. Loose weight, get healthy, stop drinking coffee/alcohol, stop smoking, stop secretly listening to Justin Bieber in your room while crying and eating waffles and ice cream. Pretty mundane stuff.Last year I …
Halfway through…
the month.Can't say that I'm halfway through Part 3 yet, although the writing is still going well. I pulled a couple mini marathons with my daughter this weekend to help us both focus on our writing. It worked pretty well. She got two short chapters finished, and I am now well underway into Chapter 14. …

Stuff.Stuff. Stuff. Stuff.Oh... you want details?Okay, I was procrastinating. I spent way too much time browsing all …
What Didn’t Happen
So, the optimistic plans that I made at 8:05 am this past Saturday morning failed to come to fruition. Instead, my exuberant feelings for completing the epic finish of Part 2 of After turned into a stuffy nose, sore throat, and just a general feeling of craptasticness all over my body.And at 9 pm tonight, I am still …
Oops
Chapter 11 is done, however I am not sure if Part 2 is done. Perhaps just one more chapter.I have also started to roughly develop some of the characters that will be introduced in Book 2, and can't wait to see what happens when Ali finally meets up with them. Now if only I can …
Weekend Update
Excited to say that chapter 10 of After is now finished. One more chapter should wrap up Part 2 of the book. Everything is still on schedule!Taking a little break this weekend, and will pickup the writing on Monday.
After
Well, I've gotten the few edits done I was aiming for, and have uploaded the final NaNoWriMo version of the story to hit my 50k word goal for the month of November. (Aside from the formatting errors I've already spotted. Quick fix there!) Victory!! If you would like to download the first draft, here is the link to …
