Things are cooking up this season on Reign! The drama is addicting!

NaNoWriMo Check In

This year I tried something different. Instead of what I normally do writing as I go along I ended up outlining my whole book before I wrote it. I outlined chapters, wrote the synopsis, and pitch. I found myself writing faster than I normally do. I do write fast enough as it is, but this time I ended up trying something different and I am amazed with the results I am getting so far. Hope everyone else is doing well. I plan on posting my playlist for the story soon.

New Reign tonight! I wonder how long it's going to take for Francis to admit that he killed Henry.

Liebster Award: 10 Questions Blog Hop

So my friend Nikki Roberti Miller tagged me for the Liebster Award. I have two WIP and another if you count my NaNoWriMo story. I have to answer her ten questions about my work-in-progress, and then tag a few people to answer mine. I'm going to tell you about my NaNoWriMo story Under the Lone Star. 1) How did you come up with your WIP’s title? The way I came up with my title is kind of funny. I was outlining my book, and I had just put for the title TBA. As I was outlining I was singing a well know tune that is taught in the schools, and BAM I got the title. 2) What motivates you to write? Music! I must have my music when I am writing. It blocks out the background sound, and the lyrics inspire certain scenes. 3) Do you find yourself putting past experiences in your book? Give an example! Yes. One of my past experiences writing the scenes underneath where I have the bullet point in my outline. It makes it so easy to write the scene because all I have to do is read the sentence on to...

A new episode tonight! Best of all it's going to have some cozy moments between Catherine and Mary.

NaNoWriMo Check In

Day Three of NaNoWriMo, and I wrote 10,000 words! I'm really excited for this story, it's nothing like I ever have written before. Normally I draft faster than this but this semester is piling up on me.

HAPPY NANOWRIMO

NaNoWriMo Pep Talk from Chuck Wendig

Imagine being allowed to do something you’re not supposed to do. Imagine you’re given the keys to a mud-bogging Bronco, or a dune buggy, or a Lamborghini. And then, you’re pointed toward a field. A soccer field outside a high school, or maybe just a wide open grassland. Nobody there. No kids playing. No animals frolicking. In fact, right now, nobody is here to see you at all. You have total freedom to rev the engine, slam the pedal to the floor, and gun it through that field. You can do donuts, spinning the car wildly about, flinging up mud, leaving tracks that look like the calligraphy of an old, mad god. You can slop mud on the car. You can get out and dance in the grass. You can do whatever you want. This is not something we’re particularly used to, as adults. My toddler gets it. He isn’t fenced in by the boundaries of adulthood—which, okay, yes, that means he doesn’t necessarily know not to shove a ham sandwich into a whirring fan (instant ham salad!) or not to climb the tallest th...
