Thursday Thirteen #134

Another happy Thursday to everyone out there! This week has been busy on the writing front but slow on the blogging-side. Yesterday’s national holiday (AKA my birthday) gave me a break but I’m looking to get some big editing done tomorrow on my day off.
On this week’s Thursday Thirteen, I’m focusing on inspiring [...]

Monday One

So on the last Thursday Thirteen, it seemed I was called out on ‘I don’t feel like it’ and ‘not feeling it’ as the same thing. That means I owe you all another item for my list.
So…here goes:
#13: I’m too busy reading the Amazon Kindle delivery forums. I know my Kindle is [...]

Working the Ends

I spent most of Friday working on my Robert story and focusing on a major item on my to-do list: the final chapter. This chapter is kind of a wrapping up of the loose ends and it’s something I’m finding somewhat difficult. Specifically, I’m trying for it to not sound rushed nor try [...]

Friday Feast for Feb 22

I’ve been editing most of the day and my wordcount shows it, with me gaining another 400 words today. I’m heading back to that in a bit. For now, here is this week’s Friday Feast:

The Carnival Has Moved On

It looks like the JustWrite Blog Carnival I was participating in is not being updated any more and it’s dying a slow death. On the advise of Auria Cortes, I’m switching exclusively to Friday Feast for my Friday posts. Hope you guys enjoy it.

We Interrupt This Blog

UPDATE: WordPress has been down most of the day, so I was only able to update the post now, to get the video to display. Sorry about that!

This has nothing to do with writing and more to do with our normal everyday frustrations with computers. If you’ve ever had a bad Windows experience [...]

I Gave In

Well that didn’t last long. I ordered a Kindle from Amazon. My mom was gracious enough to help me get it for my upcoming birthday, so combined with $105 in gift cards I was able to cut the price in half, which was the major factor in me not buying this awesome device.

Even the Best Thought They Sucked

I came across this article today on CNN, which is an interview with John Grisham. It opens with a really interesting fact:
“Some things John Grisham knows: He got 15 rejections before his first book, “A Time to Kill,” was published.”
Now to any aspiring author, to hear this is good news. We all hear [...]
