This Summer:
Honestly? I took most of the summer off from writing. Well, not intentionally. But ideas just weren’t coming to me, and finally I decided that, since I’d been pushing myself for a very long time, maybe it was time for a break, so I let myself go with the flow 🙂 But now suddenly ideas are flowing, and I’ve been hard at work these last couple weeks on Reluctant Rogue, the 5th book in my Wishes & Dreams paranormal romance series.
Plan for This Week:
Writing on Reluctant Rogue. I have no plans for anything this week except to write! That being said, we’re moving into Preptober for National Novel Writing Month. So I’ll be keeping an eye on their website to grab the banners and badges, and work up some graphics to use throughout November. But mostly…. writing!
Last Week’s Word Count: 6,117
Manuscript Total: 58,361

In Other, Non-Writing-Related News……
- TikTok. Eh. I don’t feel like I’ll be a major presence there. It was fun, don’t get me wrong! But to successfully market there, you have to spend a LOT of time making videos and so forth, and that’s time I could spend writing. So I’ll make the occasional video, because really, it IS great fun! But I’m not going to make it my life’s work to be a significant presence there. Still, feel free to follow me over there!
- Uber. I drive for Uber fun, to get out of the house and honestly? Most of my passengers are tourists here in wine country, and they’ve got great energy, and I enjoy driving them to/from the vineyards, wine tasting rooms, restaurants, and the casino. Plus, it gets me out of the house and I get to enjoy the scenery and so forth. I generally have a blast when I’m out driving, and I come home all happy and hopped up on the excitement and fun I’ve had. That being said, the price of gas makes it too much of a loss. I’ve drawn a line in the sand; when the gas comes down to under $4.75/gallon, I’ll go back to driving. So far, that hasn’t happened 🙁
