Hello World

I thought it would be nice to start the last post like the first, even though it’s actually a good-bye! Yes, you read it correctly. This is the last post on this blog. To stay updated, you can now follow UPB, where I’ll still post the new releases and at least once a month other […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

A few “last” this week (sorry for the new subscriber, you came on board too late)! Last post with this title – end of the weekly posts! Last post with my wordcount! I wrote 8K, which brings the yearly total to a little over 200K. With three more months I may write another 100K, but […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I wrote 11K, so I’ll probably get to 200K this week. Still very low, but still very okay for a yearly wordcount. The next will be the last post of wordcount accountability, since I’ll still keep count of words written, but will no longer post them. This leap year will mark the end […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I wrote 7.5K and finished another story. I also brainstormed the next couple of stories that will lead to the next novel. I have a collection in the middle of the mini-series this time! 😉 If you’ve been following this blog for years, you know I never did NaNoWriMo, because I write all […]

Sunday Surprise

THE 2024 SPACE OPERA SISTERHOOD BUNDLE The 2024 Space Opera Sisterhood Bundle – Curated by Robert Jeschonek What is it about space opera that makes us love it so much? The action, the exotic settings, the colorful characters, the alien species? The promise of countless adventures in the face of the great unknown? Or is it […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week, with the break between projects, I ended up writing 6.3K, which takes my yearly total to almost 180K – very low, I know, but that’s the best I can do at the moment. Major changes in my life coming up, so I’m glad for every word I can jot down at this time. […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I wrote 14K+ which is a record for this year. I went back to the fantasy projects I had abandoned to write sci-fi in July and finished the one I hadn’t finished while editing the other. Afterward, obviously, I wasted a day doing nothing, brainstorming the next story, LOL! By now I’m on […]

Wedmesday Weekly Roundup

Last week, having finished the personal projects and the book I had brought, I ended up going through an abandoned project that I planned to review and get back to after my trip to Scandinavia. So I ended up writing 1.3K new words and mapped wherever I need to go a little better. Still a […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Scheduling this on Sunday morning, since I know I won’t add any words to the lot. I wrapped up the project and this week’s wordcount is 3250 new words. This week I’m taking a break from everything – I have a family project to set up, and my pictures of Scandinavia to review – then […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I wrote about 4K, and I’m not sure how many new words I’ll manage this week – or the next, when I’ll probably skip the post not because I’ll have no laptop, but because I won’t have any WiFi. Unless I manage to schedule something Sunday night, I guess I’ll skip another week. […]
