I thought I would get my post in early today. We are on our way to a swim meet, and up at 5:30. I guess it is called getting ready for State. We expect snow and freezing rain, but there is a wrestling match in Cottage Grove and there is no way they would cancel that. So the swim meet will go on. My heroine […]

I’m looking at the thermometer and it’s saying 24 degrees. Sooooo cold and then I hear on the news 15 degrees somewhere and I think I heard -5 degrees. Well it’s too cold for me to walk. My toes hurt too much when it gets cold. 2000 words yesterday but no editing and I’m afraid I have lots of words but a real big job […]

Good golly, Miss Molly but the little pickpocket has become the mistress of a very rich man. She is about to be decked out from the skin out and from the toes to the top of her head. But is she happy? Does she regret her decision to become the heroe’s mistress? Are all her dreams of becoming a respectable lady vanishing in the London […]

One more week until I announce the winner of my January contest. It’s foggy here and cold. We are supposed to get a few snow flurries this morning turning to rain tonight. I’ve written a little over 15000 words since Alice issued a writing challenge. Thank you Alice. I’m hoping we’ll have another challenge in February. It’s a three day weekend and I’ve so much […]

Waking up to a two hour delay, not because of snow but ice. It’s 29 degrees out there. Now I know that you in the midwest and northeast probably would think this is warm. But this is the Willamette Valley. And for us, it’s darn cold. There are accidents all over the valley. But this school delay give me time to blog and to write […]

I’m waking up to a beautiful sunny day–no rain. My weather contest is coming to an end and I’ll be looking for the most romantic city in the world. My personal favorite in Paris but I love New York. Every city seems to take on a personality all its own. And I suppose the ones with the most pazazz (is that how you spell that […]

It has been one week since the challenge to write 1000 words a day went out in my RWA group. It has definitely been a challenge and I wrote a little over 7000 words last week. Now I’m starting over. Thank you Alice for issuing the challenge. I’m confident now that I will finish this book before summer gets here. Wow! I didn’t think I […]

The 1000 words a day is a challenge. I managed 600 words today even though I worked all day and coached my swim team. I was proud of myself. I got home, ate dinner, watched my one soap then wrote. My goal was to write 500 words. So I will have to do that tomorrow too. It’s a good feeling to make your goals and […]

One day down, 30 to go. I managed almost 3000 words yesterday and I’m quite satisfied. I will edit and then write some more today. I realized that I was close to half way on this book. My original goal was to finish by the end of summer. However, with this challenge and ongoing encouragement, I might finish in March. Still no luck with my […]

I accepted Alice’s challenge of 1000 words a day. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do it, but at least I will make sure I write every day. I’ve finished Highland Song and now need only to do edits. I am working on An Uncommon Thief which was renamed in my October contest. Please, if the winner is out there, email me at […]
