41 days until I’m back in my beautiful NYC!! 🍃
.

I can’t wait to see my city, but I can’t wait even more to see my wonderful people! I am determined to have this book completely done before then, so I can enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! 🍃

QOTD: What’s your recent five star read?
.
.
I know I’ve been sharing this book a lot recently, but it seriously has been helping me so much. I’ve been reading just a few pages here and there and it’s been sparking creativity! Which is the best! 🍃
.
.
I managed about 500 words before work this morning, which is basically unheard of for me. I am not a morning writer. But really hoping to finish this book by next week, so we shall see. 🍃

How is #campnanowrimo treating you?🍃

“But what of these dreams that hum in my bones?” - Alison Malee 🍃
.
.
I had a pretty productive writing day yesterday, even though I didn’t quite reach my 5K goal. Which is okay and I will not beat myself up about. We’re being nicer to ourselves, right?🍃
.
.
QOTD: What’s the hardest part of drafting for you?🍃
.
.
I’ve been discovering a lot about my writing lately and changing up some parts of my process. Which is fun and frustrating. It’s a continuous learning experience, that’s for sure. But if I’m to reach my dreams, I have to keep moving forward!
Also, meet Mara, my beautiful prayer plant. It’s been a learning experience trying to coax her to grow, but just like with writing, it takes time and it’s worth it in the end. 🍃

Happy Monday, friends! 🍃
.
.
I’ve already had quite a day, and it’s not even noon yet. Had to take Eliza H. to the vet today, so I’ve been spending a little extra time with her. 🍃
.
.
I managed to hit my 5K goal on Saturday, so I’m planning on another 5K today. I made an outline and everything and then my characters completely surprised me and took me in a different direction! Isn’t it funny how that happens?🍃
.
.
How’s everyone else doing on #campnanowrimo? Made any story/character discoveries lately? .

Happy Saturday! 🍃
.
.
I’m way behind in my #campnanowrimo word count. Ridiculously behind.
But I have been making my way through Dear Ally and I’m loving it. If you write YA (actually even if you don’t) I highly recommend it. 🍃
.
.
My goals for today:
🍃 At least 5K written
🍃 Three chapters revised
🍃 Create new promo images .
.
What are your plans for the weekend?

“Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.” - Louis L’Amour 🍃
.
.
I’m going to honest, the faucet refuses to turn on at the moment. It’s frustrating when it’s all in your head and it refuses to come out onto paper. This happens, it’s just part of the process. 🍃
.
.
Nevertheless, I’m persisting. Because I can’t keep focusing on the negative, if I am to make any headway towards the positive. My plan is still to finish this book by the end of the month! 🍃

What do you do when you’re in a creative rut? 🍃

I loved Across the Universe and Saving June! I heard Obsidian is awesome! I can't wait to read it! I also want to read The Summer I Turned Pretty, and The Statistical Possibility of Love At First Sight.
An ipad too! Wow amazing IMM!

I really liked Slice Of Cherry. I reviewed it in the beginning of 2011 – but it's very creepy and definitely different from anything I've read in the YA genre.
I love the LJ Smith bind ups that S&S puts out.
The Statistical Probability Of Love at First Sight is fantastic. I mean, if you like Anna And The French Kiss, you will like Statistical.
I still haven't read Across The Universe, boo. But I'm still excited to check it out.

Awesome haul! I'm interested to see your review of Slice of Cherry- I bought it a couple of months ago and then returned it because it sounded to scary for what I like to read. And The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight is so good!
Thanks for stopping by Des Absurdites!
