Wednesday Weekly Roundup

So, it’s back to the heat, and trying to get through the summer! I managed to put some order on the publisher’s site and added my IASFA author page to the Samples and Free Reads. Since I no longer have a newsletter and plan on “retiring” soon, I will no longer participate in their promos. […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Did you miss last week’s post? I guess you’ll have to get used to it… this blog is almost 15 years old, and it won’t get much older. WordPress is getting more and more complicated (they say it’s to help us, “for dummies”, except I was doing just fine with the classic interface), so I’ll […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I wrote 4K worth of rewriting on my latest project. This week I might wrap it up and possibly write another short story, but there won’t be a post next week. I’ll be traveling, it’s the summer, and I have no energy to schedule anything. I’ll update you the following Wednesday. And of […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I wrote 1.2K only, mostly polishing stuff. And brainstorming with myself, since I currently lack of focus. But I may have decided what to write this summer (sci-fi July for a start!) and autumn, then we’ll see. I have a couple of upcoming travels that I’d like to incorporate in some projects, so […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I wrote almost 8K and finished a short story. This week I probably won’t write much, being busy visiting people and seeing places away from the Roman heat. Yeah, the summer is here, and I’m ready to hibernate until temperatures cool down a bit. And June is over too, the year is going […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Again it wasn’t really a writing week, with less than 500words written, and mostly to adjust scenes and stories because I realized I had made mistakes. Continuity is important in series, right? You’d notice if the author contraddicts herself in following books/stories! So I had to take care of that and didn’t do much else. […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

And it’s June already, can you believe it? Which means… new title out, of course! Mighty Editor said she loved it, and I even adjusted a couple of plot holes thanks to her suggestions… so here it is, in all its might! Pippa “Goldie” Locke agrees to take her boss’s son on a forbidden trip. […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I wrote 10K and managed to finish Book 1. More edits will probably occur after I write Book 2. You won’t be seeing any of this until I finish all the stories, since I keep tinkering with them whenever someone does something unexpected and changes a previous event! 😉 This weekend I’ll upload […]

Wednesday Weeky Roundup

Last week I wrote about 5K, not much, but I had a very intense social life. Sigh. Hopefully this week will be quieter and I’ll double that word count. Short rant on worldbuilding! You have created your own world/universe/whatever with your own culture/society/whatever. Congrats! Please, I beg you, don’t tell me they’ve been living like […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I wrote 8K, but I was very distracted! I mean, I could have written more if stuff hadn’t happened. First I had a high school reunion, and we now have a WhatsApp group, so organizing that meeting took away some of my writing time. Then on TikTok a pinlk-haired Zoomer said that “Gen […]
