Monday Goal-Setting
Hope your week is off to a great start! What are your writing goals for this week? Do you want to write a specific number of words? A certain number of scenes? Are you writing shorter pieces like poems? Naming goals is the first step toward achieving them. We’d love to hear yours.

I find focusing on word count usually sends me in a downward spiral. This week I want to complete three butt-in-chair sessions on my UF novel, four-hour blocks of time, on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday.
Horror
Anyone else writing anything horror-related?

Umm.... did you film me just waking up because that's exactly how I look in the mornings. :D Yes. The horror genre is my favorite kid (don't tell my other kids please). And almost all of the short fiction I've written is in that category. I could definitely use some fresh eyes on a few stories that have gotten some lovely personal rejections but just haven't found a home yet if you ever want to exchange feedback. Good luck with your project!
Critique
I'm finishing up some critiques on student papers today. This is such a great reminder that being a participating citizen in a writing community makes me a better writer! Giving back by reading someone else's work... a friend, a student, a new member of a group... doesn't just give them feedback, it helps me to really think about writing, the process, and how particular words make me respond. I think it's so cool that writing is such an act of love, no matter what stage you're in.

I love your comment. So true.
The Horror
I have an entire day to write while I wait for my car to be worked on and I’ve already managed to procrastinate two hours away lol 😏 Sometimes the hardest thing to do is pick a project for writing time. What’re you all working on? I should be working on my horror novel but I’ve been having fun with prompts lately.

I, too, have a problem with balancing short fiction and the novel that I'm currently working on. I've tried splitting up the day or picking particular days to work on short fiction ... the struggle is real. Too many shiny ideas. I'm working on an urban fantasy novel with a dash of something else. All of my short fiction and poetry reside in the dark fantasy-horror-weird realm.

Procrastinating at the moment. I'll get to the bio some other time.
