Or heads or anything else rolling in your story. What to write about today? Hmmm. Well, I unfortunately spent the week mourning my grandfather so no writing got done. Today though I'm back in the saddle. I'm nearing the end of the story and working my ... http://wickedwenches.co.uk/blog/2008/08/25/rolling-rolling-rolling/ (Argh. I've just lost a nice post I was writing. So I'll try to recreate it. *sniff*.) All authors are readers. If we didn't read, we wouldn't be able to write. It's that simple. Occasionally I will review a book, good or bad. If you want to read any of the reviews, ... http://wickedwenches.co.uk/blog/2008/08/24/book-reviews/ I had this nice long blog about writing challenges and goals and the computer ate it. So here's the shortened version. Goals are good. Making short term goals for writing is awesome even if it's just I want to write 1000 words. Challenges have sprung up all over the web. ... http://wickedwenches.co.uk/blog/2008/08/18/writing/ I officially gave myself the month off from all writing endevors, including my blogs. However, I'm back and going to get right back on the wagon. So anyone have any ideas for what you all want to hear about? If you have a chance Paperback Writer has an amazing set ... http://wickedwenches.co.uk/blog/2008/08/12/hello-again/ I'm in huff. Actually, I'm pissed off as all blazes. And that's putting it mildly. When 2.5 came out, I was all gung ho and upgraded a blog to it. Previously, every new release was a step forward, with many workflow improvements. 2.5 was a BAD move. The admin area was a shambles. Many, MANY ... http://wickedwenches.co.uk/blog/2008/07/17/wordpress-26-why/ I have a tricky surname. A rare one, but it freaks people out when they need to pronounce it, or, God forbid, spell it. So I am looking for a pen name. It's difficult. Really difficult. So I thought I'll blog about it. :) (Hey, it's Saturday afternoon and I'm bored!) My first name ... http://wickedwenches.co.uk/blog/2008/07/05/whats-in-a-name/   A few years ago, a critique partner suggested I give the YA market a try. She said I had a youthful voice and it came through in my writing. Now since I loved writing the hot stuff as much as the sweet stuff, it took me a little bit to ... http://wickedwenches.co.uk/blog/2008/07/03/attempting-to-write-for-the-young-adult-market/ I like gadgets. Any gadget. Therefore I tend to like software, too. So what do I use? I use Word to write (2003, I can't stand the 2007 version), or Open Office Writer. I like both and they are interchangable for me. I use Onenote to organize things. Anything. Snippets, pictures, links, descriptions, ... http://wickedwenches.co.uk/blog/2008/07/02/software-the-bane-of-our-lives/ Most of us have lives. Well, all of us do. :) Some lives are more hectic than others, but we all have things we should be doing. And things we shouldn't. (Like me, typing this at work, looking over my shoulder the entire time. *cough*) Anyway, I joined the SoCNoC Challenge ... http://wickedwenches.co.uk/blog/2008/06/27/busy-busy-busy/
