A New Direction

I'm putting all my YA and MG writing on a shelf, and writing romance full time now.  I think I might be writing Erotic Romance. My plan for the next week is to read some titles and compare my work. 

February, still fuck you. 

President's Day Weekend Storm

Fuck you February.  It's time for your to get the hell out of dodge.

Happy Birthday to my Husband!

Today is my husband's 41st birthday.  The kids and I spoke to him on Skype, the first time in a few weeks, and we all had a good time "visiting" in person.

Health and Happiness
We all are much happier now that we saw the big cheese live on Skype.

Don't ask. It's pathetic. Just pathetic.

Something interesting is happening. I've steered way off course in my writing. I think I'm writing romance. I think I'm writing steamy romance. And I think I really like it.

Hello, Feburary

Guess what? More snow! That's not excitement. It's total disgust.

Happiness and Health
The snow and yawning stretches inside is wearing on us all.

Meh

Word Counts
I wrote about 1,000 words of vomit. I started with two names and hammered at the keys for about a hours. I have no idea what I'm doing or where it's all going. For right now, I'm enjoying the ride.


Snow Days=Too Fucking Many!

Goals? What Goals?

Happiness and Health
Status quo. No fevers. No complaints.

Happiness and Health
Child #2 is sick with some nastiness. She's running a 102.5 fever. We're off to the pediatricians tomorrow.  Child #1 is hating all things common core.

NYE and Graduation

Happy New Year! 

How did I spend my NYE without my honeybun at home? I took my two monkeys to see Frozen and had dinner at Noodles and Company. Everyone was in bed by 10pm.

Goals Update:
Happiness and Health
Kids are healthy and relatively happy without Daddy.

Word Counts
I wrote about 5,000 words of my MG novel that  I've been trying to finish since I started grad school. For reasons unknown to me, trying to finish this story feels like I'm peeling skin from bones. I need to rethink my direction. 

I'm on my way to my MFA graduation. Wish me luck! 

Snow Days=still 2 but that might change tomorrow!!
