Writing Habits

 It seems to me that the one thing that holds back most writers is creating a habit to do so. A schedule. The only time I was publishing was when I set daily goals for myself. Since I have had nothing work for me lately, I will do it again. The same goals. If it's a mental block, then if I know I've done it before, I know I can do it again.

Weekly goal: Day 1 - 3000 words; Day 2 - 3000 words + edit day1; Day 3 - final 3000 words + edit day2; Day 4 - book cover + edit day3; Day 5 - finalize details, review full story, prepare publication.

With this, I'll be writing novellas. The following weeks, day 1's will include publishing the story written the previous week.

If I can do this for a few series, then maybe I can work into either serialized fiction or novels... For now, this will be my plan! And when do I start it? Well, as they say, there's no better time than the present. So I best get off here and get started on that.

Imaginary Life Day 1

Things kinda suck right now. Not like everything is terrible, just more like my patience is constantly being tested and not much is going right. So I've decided I'm going to make up an imaginary life for this blog. Cam and I are getting ready to open up our shop. We had some disagreements on how to decorate it. He wanted something that felt like a coffee shop, cozy that supported local artists, with a natural yet dark color theme. I wanted a vintage vibe, 1920s inspiration, leather chairs, industrial shelving, dark decor. Elegant and sophisticated. But it isn't a coffee shop, or a bar, as mine would have been appropriate for. We are opening up a cupcake shop! Plant-based because we are both lactose intolerant and I never want to make something I can't try. It is also where customers can drop of vintage sewing machines to have serviced. This is a hobby of mine, so it just made sense to have both businesses run out of the same shop. For this reason, we combined the concep...

Back to Basics

 It's been a while since I've journaled online. I probably shouldn't. Love Life has been a bit hectic and I'm almost on the verge of getting overwhelmed. I'm ok for now, though. Last November, I went through a breakup. Somehow ended up with a new boyfriend almost immediately afterwards. And now, we are looking into moving in together. Already. And I'm actually looking forward to it. I'm not sure I've ever looked forward to moving in with ANYBODY. I'd rather be alone. I mean, I'd usually rather be single--I didn't even want to date my last boyfriend. He had to whine and complain and give me an ultimatum which really should've told me something, but I think I was too depressed to listen to reason. Now I'm with a guy that I actually love to be around and that makes me feel secure and happy. Who knew that was actually  a thing? Career You know how, by my age, I'm supposed to have things figured out, but then we find out a lot of peopl...
