Very pleased with those numbers

Good chunk today. I was concerned I wouldn’t get as many words today because once again, I had problems starting up Libre Office (program I’ve been using lately). I had to work in the old Word. I’m thinking with all the benefits of the Microsoft Office Personal edition, I will just try that out for a while. I could buy a version of it, or just get the monthly (lowest) plan and see how well that works out. Which is what I think I’ll do. Microsoft did something I don’t agree with in that they...

Nothing much. Read the post before this one.

Just shy of my 500 words for the day that I prefer to write. Brain is thinking I need a variety. I like to be able to switch back and forth. If I don’t do that, I get sluggish as heck in my writing. Starting to notice that with this and I amfrustratedwith myself.

Above is from yesterday. I ended upconcentrating on the editing ofDaughter of the Red Planetand didn’t get back to the post until it was time to quit working on the computer for the day. So yesterday I wrote from 17,407 – 17,811 and...

Prince: Nothing Compares to You

“How can you just leave me standing, alone in a world that’s so cold.”

-Prince “When Doves Cry”

There are some celebrity deaths we never forget. We always remember where we were and what we were doing when we heard the sad news of their passing. Elvis Presley…Marilyn Monroe…Freddie Mercury…Princess Diana…Michael Jackson…Whitney Houston….and now… Prince.

My memories of Prince and his music start in the summer of 1984 when I was 11 years old. That summer you could find me either off somewhere...

We aren’t victims of time. We are creators of time.

I’m amused when my editortells me she reads these posts sometimes. haha Mostly because I don’t think anyone does, or I don’t think about anyone doing it. I write for myself so I forget these blogs are public! I’m just this awesome, I’m aware.

Not really much went on story-wise today so not too much to mention. I did however, think about something while I was outside gardening that I wanted to talk about.

A common theme among all of us is the idea that we don’t have enough time.

We aren’t vic...

And she exposes a bit about herself!

Gonna start using the featured images to share what I feel like a scene looks like from that day. I’ve been trying to attempt writing at the desk again. See if my back can handle it, my wrists, and my chest. I’ve found the muscle in my chest getting strongerfrom working in the garden so I can hunch over for longer periods without feeling like someone is stabbing me the rest of the day. I’m also sitting in the chair differently than I was. More of a lean back position, or straight back (easier...

Something’s gooonnna happen

Good word count today. I’m happy that I boosted myself back up. Last week wasn’t as fun in how many words I got. One of the drawbacks of writing about the word count every day, I end up letting my own mind get sucked into that realm ofI have to hit a certain number so I can keep up the word count publicly.Rather a stupid thing in the mind if you think about it. But it’s something that will worm its way in there and suddenly you’re all . . . oh great.

Either way, back up there, and that make...

Nothing much

Too much on my mind today, so just a word count.

Word count I started the day with: 13,491

Word count I ended the day with:14,055

Total for the day: 564 words

Current Book I’m Reading –

A Dance with Dragons – George R.R. Martin

Edits are in

I got the notes back on Daughter of the Red Planet. I haven’t opened the file so I don’t know how much is marked up, but Jeanie gave me a great idea. Gonna give me some good work to do.

When she told me she liked the book, this is how I react –

I haven’t mentioned it recently, but if you’re looking for a great editor you should check her out – creechenterprises.com. Be warned that if you want the type of edits I get, you really need to tell her straight out that you want the blunt appro...

Curse computers sometimes

Sometimes the computer makes me lose my mind, haha. I swear, it seems like the issues are only in the morning. I know that if the neighbors are on the internet, it’ll slow us down, which of course is like, gah!

I’m still over 500 words so I’m good. haha

Couldn’t get a handle on starting today and I realized it was because I was trying to start in Anora’s POV. Storm wanted to take center stage so he’s coming out now. Gonna get to see what he thinks of Anora now.

Jeanie is sending me the edits...
