Yay… i just finished writing a whole 462 words. Albeit, these are new words to a totally new and different story. Same universe but different characters. In the story so far, I have about 4000 words. I think this story’s … Continue reading

If Andrew Were Real…
Interesting. I’ve been working on trying to get back to my writing. And I still have no story planned for my character Andrew, but he’d fit perfectly into this statistics of this year’s class of new priests. http://www.catholicclergy.net/articles/typical-new-priest/

Character Visuals
I know we all do it from time to time, we usually find actors or models who look like our characters. I pretty much have most of my characters identified but I was poking around IMDB and saw this guy– … Continue reading

A #777 Excerpt
I have been challenged. I feel the need to heed the call. I know the fiction writer’s group I’m trying to more actives with have all been challenged by Juli so this doesn’t apply to them. However, if anyone reads … Continue reading

As Soon as the Potatoes Are on I’ll Write…
That was the response I gave my husband when he said, “write, Baby, write.” Meanwhile, he’s playing his guitar, which I love to hear and I’m writing this blog entry. Writing for me lately has been harder but I have … Continue reading
On What to Write
I have been reading NANO forums, sometimes I shake my head wondering why, but I still have no idea for a story or if I’m actually going to write a story for the National Novel Writing Month. There are stories … Continue reading

Eureka! My Google Fu Worked.
Found what <a href=”http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/us/corpus-christi#obs”>I was looking for</a> regarding my writing post of last night. And it’s perfect for my story. I love it when things work out like that.
He Won’t Shut Up
Andrew is talking away like a little kid. So, I have an idea for a couple of scenes to write. One that I’ve mentioned in Isabel’s story, but I thought I could write it in Andrew’s story. But it will … Continue reading

Isabel’s Catholicism
Just some thoughts that came to me in the shower. Yep, I often find myself inspired in the shower. Or lying in bed either after waking up or before falling asleep at night. Some of this will reflect my own … Continue reading
Another Post…
So, I lost my family tree. I have it on paper but I don’t know where my writing notebooks are. I think they’re in my other computer bag. I’ll look later. The writing is eeking along. I’ve done a revision … Continue reading

Reading… Writing… Thoughts…
Oh so bored. Ever so bored. Someone entertain me. Maybe I’ll read. I just finished reading this book, The Gifted Gabaldon Sisters. Eh… it was ok. I picked it up because it sounded interesting and am curious to see how … Continue reading
Characters! The Bane of My Existence.
Ok, not really. I’m revising my novel. I’ve decided that I’m breaking it into two stories, at least for the time being. I’m trying to tighten up the first half and then the second half, I’ll work on and think … Continue reading

The Priest’s Hands
I was working on a scene in one of my stories. It looks like my character Andrew will get his own story someday, but he’s with his sister Isabel as they’re contemplating their lives without each other as they’ve now … Continue reading
Shopping For Blood
So, I was talking on the phone tonight with my friend who also has her house listed with me. It’s a case that she doesn’t have to sell the house so she’s going to pull it off the market probably … Continue reading

Fiction or Real Life?
And man… I guess stereotypes exist for a reason. I’ve been kind of following a scandal in Florida about the young, handsome priest who was seen on a beach in the arms of a woman. Apparently he’s been thinking of … Continue reading

Been Thinking Again…
Amazing huh? Actually, I’ve been thinking about my writing in relation to the niche or genre in which I’d like to eventually market it. I pretty much think I write for a women’s oriented audience, it may be chick lit … Continue reading

Enjoy The Silence
So, lately, (again) I’ve been revising my novel, my second one. To say it’s Catholic is an understatement. Of course my main character spends the first half of it declaring how much of a heathen she is, she constantly gives … Continue reading

As the Muse Turns
Thinking about particpiating in NANO this year. Not seriously enough yet to actually sit down and try to come up with a story. I have a start from last year’s attempt, about three pages or so, but I don’t really … Continue reading
A Mission Statement… Perhaps?
I’m going to see if I can get a bit of action going on in here. I have all these thoughts and ideas about my novel(s) and I never seem to jot them down. Quite honestly, this is a place … Continue reading
Fiction Plots… Original? Think Again
Recently, on the Catholic Writer’s Online yahoo group I read, this list was posted by one of its members. I am reposting it from the email sent to the group and definitely not taking credit for it’s compilation or any … Continue reading

Ponderings … Catholic Fiction
I saw this first at Amy Welborn’s blog, which directed me here to the Inside Catholic book circle. It sounds like something worth checking out and following along. So I ask myself the question: What is Catholic Fiction? Is it … Continue reading

Lena
I just opened up my first novel. I do like it. I think I’ll print it up and give it to someone to read. The main character is Lena, short for Magdalena. She’s a bit cocky, independent, somewhat insecure and … Continue reading
Hmmmm….
I may phase out my Writing LJ in favor of this site. Or maybe it will be a mirror site for all my musings about writing. I’m not quite sure yet.
