Not sure if you’re still here, but…

Hey WOAW readers—my friends, family, and followers! I’m not sure what is going on here over in WordPress land, it’s been so long. Remember me? I used to write things! Since then, over and over, I’ve tried to write something, anything, and failed. Recently, I tried to start a novel with an idea I’ve been Continue reading

Are we still blogging in this, the Year of our Lord 2022?

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. Continue reading

Writing Prompt, Day 3!

Welcome to Day 3 of the Writing Prompt excitement. Something that revolves around movement… Since the lockdown due to the pandemic, I’ve added a couple of new talents to my repertoire. First, I’ve become an expert bread-maker. I have a great no-knead recipe that comes out delicious every time. The family loves it. But also, Continue reading

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 Continue reading

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 Continue reading

Three Things Post

A million years ago, I started to draft this post after lifting the idea from another blogger. Check out Essential Doctor Who, who hopefully doesn’t mind that I’m half a decade behind. I’m not sure anyone is interested in all of this information about me, but this seemed like a fun thing to do and Continue reading

My 200th Blog Post!

Yeah, yeah so I know I’ve had this blog since January of 2013, and in six-plus years I should probably have more than 200 posts but I have excuses, okay? The two biggest ones are asleep upstairs as I type this. The third excuse is sitting next to me… Kiri Dog Posing in her Patriotic Continue reading

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 Continue reading

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 Continue reading

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 Continue reading
