Wipmadness Week 1
Hi, everyone! I'm excited to be your host for this month's #wipmadness!
I'm glad it's summer! I'm burned out with teaching and need a break! I hope to finish my revision of book two in the goddess series and get back to El Compuesto! Also my one publisher wants to read more of the sequel to CROSSED OUT!
My plans for this month and next include:
Scheduling more writing time at the local coffee house and nearby library. It's really hard to write at home as husband works there and son is off for the summer.
But I also hope to take it easy:
and visit my own family in Sacramento!
My question for all of you is what are your goals for this month? Do you have anything standing in the way of accomplishing them and if you do, how do you overcome those odds?
Remember, I'm cheering for you all!

And what would #Wipmadness be without prizes to help motive you all?

Like No Other by Una LaMarche
I'm a total sucker for a bittersweet love story and this one delivers. Think modern day WEST SIDE STORY with an engaging voice and two characters that you hope will somehow overcome the odds against them. And the odds are huge for this couple.
Fiendish
The whole premise of something wicked happening in a small town and the hypocrisy of the townspeople reminds me so much of a Ray Bradbury story only with much more woven throughout. She also reminds me a bit of Francesca Lia Block, another one of my favorite authors!
Don't Look Back by J.Armentrout
An amazing thriller
The Falconer by Elizabeth May
Think Steampunk meets 1844 Scotland with one kickass heroine that would give Buffy the Vampire Slayer a run for her money. Only in this case the heroine is supposed to be the proper lady with a secret: she's a faery slayer and loves it.
End Times by Anna Schumacher
Great voice with intriguing twists on an end of the world premise. Fascinating backdrop that foreshadows where the Rapture might occur with characters that will keep you guessing on their roles in all of this.

My goal is to get at least 2 chapters done and get some full-force momentum going.
Rock on, Wipsters!
Good luck with your goals this month. Sending some fairy writing dust your way!
Summertime may have a reputation for long, lazy, do-nothing days but in my household there's been more than usual filling my days, leaving less time for writing. But vacation time is coming! My July goal is to give an earlier manuscript another run-through and ready it for submission in mid-August. Only time will tell if I actually manage to do it. I have another story on the go that keeps begging for my attention. LOL.
I hope everyone is enjoying a summer full of sunshiny days.
Good luck with your manuscript!
Sending you some writing magic dust to help you along!
Thanks for stopping in!
This month is a busy one! I'm working on the first draft of my WIP, which I want to finish before fall. I'm also setting up the blog tour for THE PAPER MAGICIAN and getting ready for #PitchWars in August! Assisi expecting edits back for THE GLASS MAGICIAN soon too. The only hindrance is that I can only work during the baby's nap time. ;)
Yay, on getting ready for a blog tour! I totally swear by these and have done more than a few myself! What is #PitchWars?
Thanks so much for stopping in!
**Oh, I totally know about finding time to write when baby is napping. I did this myself a while back. At that time son took nice long naps that was so nice! Later, though it got a little more challenging. Thank goodness for notepads!
Ooh, never too late to jump back in! And I know all about the drafting. **Just yesterday was brainstorming ideas for book three in the goddess series, along with a possible spin-off series.
You can do it! Sending some magic drafting dust your way!!!!
And thanks for stopping by!
