Why am I having the urge to blog? Every once in a while I remember this space, and how dedicated I was to it back in the day. I started WOAW nine years ago, posting every other day, unashamed, not caring about whether my words would be judged, or if people would think I'm nuts.…
Writing Prompt, Day 2!
"Pick an object from your room. Now describe it in as much detail as possible." Not the most original writing prompt. I'll roll with it though... My gray hoodie is so thin, that if I hold it up to the light, I can see right through the threads. It's the perfect summer cover-up for when…
Writing Prompt, Day 1! Because why not?
A few years ago I received a thank you gift for helping to organize a writing conference. It's a jar, with little rolled up papers in it. Each paper has a writing prompt. Here's a pic... Cute right? In an effort to make my fingers work and type something... anything... I'm going to grab one…
Publishing, Rejections, and Writing is Weird
Being a writer is a weird thing. Some days, weeks, months, you seem to have it all together and everything is flowing. Words, marketing, tweets, posts. Other times, you open the laptop and stare at it until your head starts to bob because you're falling asleep. When things are going great, whoopee! Those are the…
Drafts
Me again! Having been absent from my WordPress site for some time, now that I'm back, the entire interface seems different (Where are the Daily Prompts? Are we not doing that anymore?). Up in the corner, next to my blog name, there's a little number "41." Click on it and come to figure out that…
When Good Things Happen…
Sometimes good things happen to good people. I know, I know... it's hard to believe. Well, sit back, Blogtropolis, and let me tell you a little story... I work with a lady, let's call her Terry. Terry has worked in my office for a million years, since she was a teenager (she's in her 50's…
Another year…!
Where does the time go? I started Waiting on a Word four years ago. How did it get to be 2017? I'm sorry I haven't been around much because WOAW is still my favorite corner of my cyberworld. So where have I been? 2016 was a whirlwind. After starting a new day job, I…
Love is more than a little complicated…
Happy news! Today I'm excited to share the cover for The Love Square! Here it is... And here's the whole cover... Isn't it cute? The Limitless team did a great job. Here's what the back blurb reads: Clare Davis hates everything about L.A. Well, almost everything… Accustomed to a small town life in Nebraska, Clare…
Do-Re-Mi, ME ME ME … Stuck on Me
I've been writing posts and keeping them in my drafts because I feel so incredibly self-centered talking about me, me, me all the time. Especially with everything going on in the world. But guess what? Here's another post about me. I tried checking out the Daily Prompts. There was one I liked about a mystery…
Juggling November
Two years ago, I wrote a blog post on Halloween night discussing whether I should take part in NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month. I did do NaNo that year and "won," meaning I wrote 50,000 words in the month of November. That first draft sucked. But for the next year and a half I worked…
