Lame blog post and #writemotivation update

Ok. This is a lame blog post that is just filling space because really, I'm too focused on destroy the life of my new Main Character to really put any thought into a blog post. I keep thinking about it, but all I can focus on is one particularly angsty teen and his rotten life. :D

Seriously.

That and kittens.
 
Daddy? Can I help?
And 8-inch floppy disks
They used these in the Space Shuttle!

 And cute puppies...because who doesn't like Corgis?
They're not mine, but they did follow me everywhere after I met them
Anyway, this month isn't a goal month in the #writemotivation movement, but I'm still have goals. My goal for this month (in addition to being weird, cheering on my fellow writers, and practicing my stalker skills with my friends on twitter) is to write 15,000 words on my new WIP. As it stands I'm about to hit 10K for the whole thing so far. A couple thousand were written at the end of July, so they don't count, but 7K is still very attainable.

That's all for now.
'Till next time.

P.S. the human legs belong to the most awesome KT Hanna who was nice enough to invite a bunch of us weirdos to her house to hang out for several hours and talk writing on August 11th. We all had a great time and now we ALL know where she lives...it's a gorgeous house with a wonderful view (very jealous!).

  1. I should think the goal of being a weirdo should be most attainable.

    So jealous you met K.T.! Sometimes living on the other side of the world sucks.

    1. Yes, KT is so full of awesome! Her accent was a mix of Australian and Midwest America. :D Yes, we were all very weird and had a great time. She finally kicked me out when my kids started calling asking me where the hell I was. :D

  4. What an AWESOME writing goal! Go for it! Maybe I should do the same :) Goals always help to motivate :)

    And Oh my chocolate, what a CUTE kitten! And the puppies, too, even if they aren't yours :)

    1. Thanks! I got involved with the #writemotivation group (started by KT) because of the goal orientated nature (and the cheering bit!).

      Yes, Iris is an adorable little kitten. Our other kitten Lily is just as sweet. Both are rescues. Iris was found in a parking lot with a broken hip and taken to our vet and I found Lily on the side of the highway.

      Thanks for stopping by! Can't wait to read your next book. :D

  5. Yay for kitties! And puppies. :) I think I should have gone to the #writemotivation meeting. 17 hours isn't excessive to drive for one evening, right? Surely not...

    1. LOL. Not for the level of awesome at that get together. :D You could have visited family in KC and I could have driven you down there. Only 3 hours from my house. :D
