Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I was under 10K again, which means I haven’t reached 250K yet, and it’s August… so I might not reach my goal this year, but I will the next, for sure! And eventually I’ll double it and reach Pulp Speed! 🙂 Meanwhile, thank you to the three Canadians who took advantage of the […]

Sunday Surprise

And here’s the link to that fabulous Storybundle I mentioned in the previous post! My story is in the bonus book, Crones, so make sure to grab that one too! Also, you can read author interviews on the publisher’s Facebook page, including yours truly! Paranormal Women’s Fiction, with a focus on Mystery. Happy reading and […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I managed a solid 12K+ and I hope to finish this project this week. I have a long weekend during which I can go through a few longer projects before I send them to Mighty Editor for proofreading. Yes, August 15 is national holiday in Italy, and I took Monday off since I’d […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I wrote almost 12K, despite stopping in the middle of the week to rewrite another project. I hope to be able to complete this novel by the end of the week, or the next at the latest. The Newsletter went out yesterday with a free story. The IASFA giveaway went rather well, let’s […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I wrote almost 10K, and since I’m now deep into a longer project, I’ll hopefully write more in the coming weeks. That’s a novel I’ve been trying to write for a year, and now I’m finally doing it, yay! I hope you subscribed to the IASFA newsletter like I suggested last week (see […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week was again a bad week for writing (a little over 7K) and I’m still nowhere near half pulp speed, imagine reaching pulp speed. But I know I can do it, and eventually I will. If you’re wondering what I’m babbling about, here’s the explanation by my guru and mentor, Dean Wesley Smith. If […]

And last week I did even worse, 7.5k! But by now I should have reached 200k this year… except it’s July and I should be at 250k minimum! Ah, well, I will catch up. I’m currently on a project that needs research (historical, so online is fine), so I’m slower than usual. As soon as […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I wrote 16.3K, which isn’t as much as I hoped (I want to get to 20K/week), but a) I was done with the longer project, so writing shorts means I waste a lot of time between stories. I still managed to write two of them, though. And b) wearing the publisher’s hat (mostly […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

So last week I wrote less than 10k, but then, I was traveling again. Although I did bring the Netbook, when you travel it’s hard to find that special space to write, especially if you’re also seeing friends and socializing! I was in London and managed to meet a few awesome writer and non-writer friends. […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I got a little more than 11K, so clearly not as much as I wanted, but life keeps getting in the way, between family emergencies and DayJob troubles. Hopefully I’ll catch up this week and the next – although next week is also the last of June and I’ll have to put the […]
