The weather is cooling off, the sun is going down earlier and the kids are back in school. It must be fall. Time to switch gears once again. Fall means a lot of changes to my schedule. I add both Scouts and Cub Scouts to my week (Scouts are Monday and Cubs are Tuesday), plus campouts. That sucks a lot of time. Time I’ve been using to write and podcast. So what do I give up? Well, actually, I’m not going to give anything up. Part of the reason for that is I will be finishing GalaxyBillies in the next two weeks so that writing and podcasting will go away for now.

It’s Time to Start Thinking NaNoWriMo
You may think I’m jumping the gun a little when I say that it is time to start thinking about NaNoWriMo. After all, it’s only the beginning of September and NaNo is in November.

Read moreAdjusting to Change
I used to be one of the lucky ones. I had a writing routine where I could sit down at the same time every day to write and edit and do all the things that writers are supposed to do. Then, along came that terrible nemesis to routine and messed everything up for me. You know the one. It’s called change. Yup, once again, my life is undergoing change and my muse is not very happy. It all began with a three week writing hiatus while on holidays. Then I started a new job with all the upheaval that comes with it and my kids are going back to school and… Well, suffice it to say, there are many new […]
