My husband said I couldn’t have any more tea until I wrote my blog post. Can you imagine? Noooo I’m dying Let’s do the ROW80 check-in first. For those who have missed previous ROW80 posts, ROW80 is a writing challenge
The Mountain Won (and a ROW80 Check-in)
Time for more mountain analogies, Squiders. I think we’ve compared writing to climbing mountains before, but the fact of the matter is that you have a lot of time to think while you’re trudging uphill. So, last Friday, my family
The Video That My Inner Editor Loves (Plus a ROW80 Check-in)
Well, my edit’s hit more bumps. I’ve decided it’s best to add in a new character who’s got to be integrated into at least two of the subplots, so I’m going back through and making new conflict arcs for him,
ROW80 Round 3 Goals
Howdy, squiders. How’s your Thursday? If American, excited for your extra Friday off? If not American, uh, you can mock us for losing to Belgium? Though that’s just mean, you should be ashamed. Anyway, as hinted at on Tuesday, I’m

The Downside of Plotting (and a ROW80 check-in)
Well, Squiders, I’ve been working on the third book of a high fantasy trilogy recently (passed 50K this past week, hooray!). I’ve been working on this trilogy on and off for a lot longer than I like to own up
Too Many Books (and a ROW80 Check-in)
I have this problem, Squiders, where I start new books when I am in the middle of other books. Normally it’s not that big of a deal. It’s usually only two books at a time–one on my nightstand for pre-bedtime
The Foundation Trilogy Readalong, ROW80 Check-in, and Miscellany
