Weekly Writing Check-In: Happy Holidays!

December 24, 2012
| No Comments
| Categories: Christmas, weekly writing check-in

I may or may not be MIA these next couple of days. I am definitely NOT taking the week off from writing / editing / designing, but I’m not gonna beat myself up if I fall a little behind schedule, either. That said, I hope everyone has a wonderful week, whether you’re celebrating Christmas or…

Weekly Writing Check-In: Busy, Busy, Busy

December 17, 2012
| No Comments
| Categories: Ren'Ai Rensai, Self-Publishing, weekly writing check-in

To give you an idea of how busy I’ve been lately, let’s just say I totally forgot to do last week’s check-in. Oops! (Who was supposed to hold me accountable again?) I’m not sure where I should begin in listing what I’ve been doing and what my goals are…aside from saying, “Writing, Editing, Formatting, and…

Weekly Writing Check-In: Another Nanowrimo, Plus Launch News

December 3, 2012
| No Comments
| Categories: Book Launch, Hatsukoi, NaNoWriMo, weekly writing check-in

As I announced last week, I defeated another Nanowrimo. Woohoo! After passing 50k I really pulled back and focused on editing over writing, so I went from writing about 2k a day to barely pushing 1k. So that means I finished around 56k, which isn’t too shabby, but not my best. I got a lot…

Weekly Writing Check-In: Nano Conquered, Release On the Way!

November 26, 2012
| No Comments
| Categories: Hatsukoi, NaNoWriMo, Promotion, Ren'Ai Rensai, Tumblr, weekly writing check-in

First, yay! I kicked Nano in the teeth. (Was there ever any doubt? ;)) Sometime yesterday I crossed the 50k line, thankfully. Now I can focus on the edits for “HATSUKOI.” while getting writing down at a trickling pace like I was before! I’ve managed to get Hatsukoi all formatted for kindle and it is…

Weekly Writing Check-In: That Moment Between Can Do And Futility

November 19, 2012
| No Comments
| Categories: Hatsukoi, NaNoWriMo, Ren'Ai Rensai, weekly writing check-in

First, pleased to say that as of tonight I will cross 40k in Nano, and should I keep this up, I’ll be done by the end of this week, a whole week early! That’s good I’ll be done early. Because “HATSUKOI.” will be out NEXT FRIDAY(!!!) and I’m currently in the final edits/formatting stage. Which…

Just a quick check-in for how Nano’s going! Well, I’m still chugging on with 2k a day, which puts me a little over 23k. I’ll be at the halfway point tomorrow. Earlier this week I finished my first REN’AI RENSAI short that is sure to come out soon, and by the mid-week I should have…

Hey all, just a real quick check-in for nano. Currently have my goal of writing at least 2k a day still going (that’s how much I write on average anyway, except now I’m accountable, haha) of the first short coming out next month. I thought it would only be about 7k, but at this rate…

Weekly Writing Check-In: One Month Check-In for “DAISUKI.”

October 29, 2012
| No Comments
| Categories: Daisuki, NaNoWriMo, Ren'Ai Rensai, Self-Publishing, weekly writing check-in, Writing as a Career

Hard to believe that one month ago today I released “DAISUKI.” unto the world. Since then I’ve experienced a month of ups and down, growing pains and learning curves. I wish I could tell you that I became a big money-maker overnight, but, ALAS, I have not. But I have no  complaints so far. I…

Weekly Writing Check-In: Still Know Nothing About Nanowrimo

October 22, 2012
| No Comments
| Categories: CROSS//, NaNoWriMo, Ren'Ai Rensai, weekly writing check-in

Real quick post this week as I’ve got…things to do. Like writing! and playing Sims 3. Sent off Book 2 of Ren’Ai Rensai to editing and am about 1/3 of the way through with the first draft of Book 3. I’m hoping to do the cover/title/blurb reveal of Book 2, alongside a tentative release date,…

Weekly Writing Check-In: The Coming of Nanowrimo, and My Lethargy

October 15, 2012
| No Comments
| Categories: NaNoWriMo, Ren'Ai Rensai, weekly writing check-in

NaNoWriMo is upon us. In fact, it’s about half a month away. Normally at this time of year I’m jumping around all excited like, but this year I’m just not feeling it. Maybe it’s because I already write ~50k a month so the “need” for nano is gone. Maybe it’s because I’m just BUSY, man….
