Certified Resolution Writing Endeavor Review Report: Week Forty-Eight
Guys, I received a new bestest-rejection ever email! It was very exciting, because it came from an agent who usually doesn't formally send out rejections, but allows her unending silence do the rejecting for her. Anyway, the agent offered...

Hello, peeps!Not much to report here.I'm pretty much abandoned NaNoWriMo. I know, I know. Major FAIL on my part. But I've had other projects on my mind--mainly editing the last novel I'd completed to try to resubmit it. I'll p...

It's been an eventful week for me! I got my bestest rejection ever--with revision suggestions and an offer for me to resubmit. Yays! And I will resubmit...once I have time to revise the piece. Which won't be soon with Nanowrim...
Certified Resolution Writing Endeavor Review Report: Week Forty-Four
So, each year November comes around (as November is prone to do) and with it arrives Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month) and I usually come up with an excuse that prevents me from participating: "I'm too busy," or "It's november 3rd. ...

So, how about that 24-hour readathon, hmm? Intense. I'd thought it would have been easier. I was shocked by how quickly I started to feel tired. I never realized how good I was at working for four or five hours. But after thos...
Certified Resolution Writing Endeavor Review Report: Week Forty-Two
My life right now is dominated by one question. One teeny-tiny, three-part, page-long general exam question that is due Wednesday. hehehee.So right now, all I do is edit my response (which has seeped out into a horrifying 40 pages) or avo...
Certified Resolution Writing Endeavor Review Report: Week Forty-One
Tralalalala.I had a wonderful short story idea. I thought of it while walking to a bus stop, and wrote all it's beautiful prose in my head--from beginning to end. Hours later, I finally got to my computer, opened a new file for story. &nb...
Certified Resolution Writing Endeavor Review Report: Week Forty
I spent yesterday at a local writers' conference. I decided to go in an attempt to find my missing motivation. In the past, I've walked away with mixed feelings about conferences. A lot of the time, some of the information is obviou...

Oh, long weekends. How you confuse me. As though I don't already have enough trouble remembering what day it is.Last week, my submissions were to short story and poetry competitions. I usually avoid these. Mostly because they cost money...
Certified Resolution Writing Endeavor Review Report: Week Thirty-Five
I am particularly exhausted today. I spent two nights this week being an extra in a movie. My motivation for doing this was mainly boredom and the fact that I can now wander around and inform people that "Yeah, I was an extra in a movie once...."Th...
Certified Resolution Writing Endeavor Review Report: Week Thirty-Four
Checking in again.Are we absolutely certain that an entire week has gone by? Cause time appears to be speeding up. And I don't appreciate it.Many agents and editors frown on sending out simultaneous submissions (submitting one of your manuscripts t...

My goodness, the weeks are passing quickly. I'd really prefer that they didn't. In fact, if time could stop so that the summer continues for a while, I'd be very appreciative. Can someone get on that for me? Thanks.In terms of writing, things...
