What I'm Reading: I haven't touched  Endlessly by all week. I'll get to it eventually. I had so much more free time before I moved...

What I'm Writing:  I took a much needed break last week. I'm bringing an old unfinished MS back from the grave. That's about it. I'm not touching my NaNo project for another three weeks. It's for the best.

What Inspires Me Right Now: 
Oh look over there...a thing! **scurries and hides from the question**

What Else and I've Been Up To: 

It's weird seeing all of my college friends post about heading back to campus and getting ready for the start of the school year. I'm not saying that I want to be back in school, the thought of that give me chills, it's just different. For as long as can remember I've always gone back to school in August. Now it's just real life and IT'S FREAKING ME OUT. 

I'll be fine, once I get a job and figure out this life stuff. 

What's up with you? How is your week going?

Happy Reading!

What I'm Reading: Still reading on Endlessly by Kiersten White. It's been a slow week.

What I'm Writing:  Last Wednesday, I finally finished my Camp NaNoWriMo novel. Right now I'm taking a wee break from writing, then I'm going to attempt to rewrite my old WiP Unremarkable, I kind of threw it aside to work on Suspension of Disbelief back in 2012 and I haven't picked it up since. I love the concept, but it's executed poorly. It's only halfway done, but if I start fresh, it might give me that push I need to complete it.

What Inspires Me Right Now: 
Blerg

What Else and I've Been Up To: 

Still adjusting to the move, trying to find jobs and stuff. Not much else is going on in my life.

Ready, Set, Write! Brain Freeze

Ready, Set, Write is a weekly writing intensive hosted Jaime Marrow,  Erin Funk, Alison Miller,and Katy Upperman.
Over the next few months I will be checking in with Jaime and the gang to answer a few questions about my writing week.


1.  How I did on last week’s goals: I FINISHED!!! The 50k and the novel. It's surprisingly short, but I hope to add another 5-10k in revisions.

2.  My goal(s) for this week:
None this week. I'm recovering from NaNo. I'm going to let this sit for a month while I figure out what my next project is going to be. But for now. I rest.

3.  A favorite line from my story OR one word/phrase that sums up what I wrote/revised: 
I know I've been doing single lines, but since I finished I will share a little more. It's rough, but I liked this bit between Lucinda and Xander.

Xander stumbled out of his cage. “Lucinda, I’m so sorry. I was caught outside a portal and dragged here. I’m sorry I ruined your prom night.” Xander collapsed in my arms. “I’m okay,” he groaned.
“I don’t care about prom,” I said. “Okay, I’m lying, but I came for you, didn't I? You were in distress, my little damsel."
“So you felt it,” he smiled weakly. “Sucks doesn’t it?”
“Yeah, I felt it,” I said as we touched foreheads. “Never do that again or I will personally set fire to your car.”

4.  The biggest challenge I faced this week: Finishing before my brain melted.

5.  Something I love about my WIP: I said earlier this summer that my goal was for my MC Lucinda not to change at the end. Well I caved a bit and changed the ending I had planned. It actually works, don't worry, Lucinda's still very

What are you're goals this week?

50,000 words (told through gifs)

So this happened.

After reading through the first couple pages:

I have a lot of work to do, but first:

What I'm Reading: I finished Just for Fins this weekend. Perfect ending to the series. Now working on Endlessly by Kiersten White.

What I'm Writing:  "So close to the finish line. Less that 2,500 words to go.

UPDATE: This happened

What Inspires Me Right Now: 
So. Close. To. The. End.

What Else and I've Been Up To: 

So, I moved this weekend. I wasn't having much luck looking for jobs and internships and Indiana was just not the place for me. My aunt offered me a place to stay in a city with a better theatre scene, so I took it. It was difficult to say goodbye to my parents and childhood home, but I had to make that step sooner or later if I want to make my dreams come true. I don't know what the future holds, but I know I'm heading in the right direction.  

What's up with you? How is your week going?

Ready, Set, Write! Nearing the Finish Line

Ready, Set, Write is a weekly writing intensive hosted Jaime Marrow,  Erin Funk, Alison Miller,and Katy Upperman.
Over the next few months I will be checking in with Jaime and the gang to answer a few questions about my writing week.


1.  How I did on last week’s goals: I yo-yoed this week. I was on a hot streak early this week to prepare for the couple days I knew I wasn't going to be writing. I'm almost finished with the draft I'm over 45k. So close.

2.  My goal(s) for this week: 
Yes, I'm going to knock out these next 5k and then take a well deserved nap.

3.  A favorite line from my story OR one word/phrase that sums up what I wrote/revised: 

“Fine, I’m cheating on you, you’re cheating on me,” I screamed. “Are we still going to prom together or what?"

4.  The biggest challenge I faced this week: There were quite a bit of challenges this weekend. More on that on Wednesday.

5.  Something I love about my WIP: The romance between my two main characters is slowly forming into something I can smooth out during revisions.

What are you're goals this week?
