#Wipmadness Week One- Summer Time

I decided to carry on the #wipmadness pom poms this month as it's the last summer month and all.  I hope since it's summer break that most of you are still writing!

During this summer I found I have to schedule in my writing time but not only do that but go to my coffee house and/or library otherwise I don't get anything done.

Somehow my muse has been thriving in these spots.


































This works for me.  What do you all do in the summer time and how do you still squeeze in some writing?

Yayyy!! Thanks Kim, and thanks for hosting again. You're awesome.

I'm still plugging away at this first draft. It's harder than I expected, jumping in without much preparation, but I'm determined to keep writing until the end (don't let me give up!)

No problema, Denise! And yes, I have that one galley you want! Will ship it out either this Wednesday or Thursday!

You can do it with this first draft. I'm waving my Wipmadness pom-poms and sending some writing fairy dust your way!

Thanks so much for stopping by each week and RTing this on Twitter!

Week #2 Revisions

"I am hard at work on the second draft...Second draft is really a misnomer as there are a gazillion revisions, large and small, that go into the writing of a book." -Libba Bray Hi, everyone!  How did you do with your goals for last week?  I admit, I wasn't as good as I should have been.   But remember: Now that school and scoring tests is over, I can concentrate more on my writing. I noticed a number of you are working on revisions so I thought I'd make that our theme for this week. Is this you? Do you dread revising? Or do you have revision angst? I'm kind of in the middle.  I've been known to spend forever just on one paragraph to get it right. I love this other quote: "I've found the best way to revise your own work is to pretend that somebody else wrote it and then to rip the living sh*t out of it." -Don Roff In the book THE WRITER'S BOOK OF WISDOM 101 RULES FOR MASTERING

Week #1 Motivation

“You can sit there, tense and worried, freezing the creative energies, or you can start writing something . It doesn't matter what. In five or ten minutes, the imagination will heat, the tightness will fade, and a certain spirit and rhythm will take over.” – Leonard Bernstein Welcome to: I admit it.  This last month I started off with the right intentions but my one part-time job held me back from doing all I wanted to do. I know, I know. For today I'll be using something out of THE POCKET MUSE by Monica Wood for an idea on how to help kick that muse into working. ...Set an egg timer for forty-five minutes, and don't get out of the chair until the timer dings.  Even if you sit starting at the page the entire time, you're ingraining a habit... What are some ways the rest of you help get the motivation feeling back? Remember I'm cheering for you! Also share what your weekly goals are this week.  Don't be shy! My goal is to finis
