I Was Wondering

I am back and I couldn’t be more excited. I didn’t get everything done that I wanted but it was productive.

Final round of hard copy editing done. Found one hundred more pages of material for my in progress memoir and I have more than one idea percolating for NaNoWriMo.

However, there was something missing over these last few weeks. I couldn’t figure it out at first but it was not updating this blog.

This quote sealed it for me. My everyday curiosity needs to be satisfied by the exploratory writing I do here and with the interaction I have with my followers.

By the way this is post 501… I can’ t believe it, here’s to 500 more 😉

Bubbles for Inspiration

 I was struggling to get back on track with my latest novel so I decided a change of scenery was needed. 

Delicious local beer can get the creative juices flowing, every bubble is an idea.

Where do you go to get the juices flowing?

Summer Changes

/ Alysia / 4 Comments

I think what I like most about the summer is its ability to be dramatic. It can be sunny and cheerful one moment and then dark and destructive the next.

You think you can see the storm coming but you can never be sure until it arrives.

There is no preparation only experience.

It strikes me as the right way to approach the world

and

for me, for tonight, writing.

Another Day, Another Challenge

To celebrate finishing up what I believe to be the last major edits of a novel I started over two years ago I am going to start yet another new story. You know because the other novel I did which is begging for its edits just isn’t enough.

I am participating in Camp NaNoWrimo in July and set my goal at 50K even though this is the month where you can pick a lower goal if you wish. It was tempting but there is something about the 50K mark that just calls to me.

I wonder is it possible to have too many stories, edits, poems, blogs etc. going on at once?

Nope 🙂

Is anyone else participating? What are your goals and strategies?
