So after blogging yesterday, I got down to work. It took a while to get in the groove, but I did and ended up with a great day. Stats below. Because I did so well yesterday, I’m wearing my 10K Day shirt from Tosca Lee. Hoping I can duplicate and then some today, but we’ll see. Sometimes I hate being true to character though. One of my characters is currently kind of a jerk (okay Read more
I spent most of yesterday evening in my friends’ rec room doing research and then as I settled in to write about what I’d researched, well… two other friends walked in. i hadn’t seen them in ages so we chatted a bit then I went home and chatted with my FAMILY (shocking I know ;)) for a bit. I did get some work done before bed, but not much actual writing. The numbers are a Read more
YAY! I made progress yesterday! It’s always such a good feeling to see the word count rise! I think I’ll probably need to go back and add some stuff in the middle of what I already wrote – maybe even a whole chapter’s worth, but we’ll see. In between three trips to school (drop off a kid with a project, pick up a kid with a project, pick up a kid after color guard), I Read more
Just a quick post while the kid is getting for school. Got some work done yesterday. Went to Chick-fil-A for a couple hours while the oldest worked. Read through what I have of In Concert with the King and made notes. Then wrote some when I got home. Finished two scenes that I’d started months ago then wrote a whole new scene. But part of that scene is sort of flashback-y to when Benjamin stood up Read more
Sometimes plans change. Mine did this summer when Grace to Stand just wasn’t working :(. I’m hoping to have it (or a different Grace book) out next summer still. I’ve been working on Book 2 in CROWNS & COURTSHIPS, but had to put it on the backburner when a boxed set due date cropped up. That set, Out of the Blue Bouquet, releases November 7. I’m super excited about the story – A Kaerasti for Clari (I can’t Read more
So blogging consistently hasn’t been my strong suit this year (or, like, ever), but here we go! I’m also over on InspyRomance today talking about conference! For more on how this link up works, check out the original post on Laurie Tomlinson’s blog! Name: Carol Moncado Location: Southwest Missouri What you write/tagline/trademark: Romantic Dramedy in the Ozarks – and elsewhere (mostly because I love the Romantic Dramedy part, but there’s no easy way to say things like “fictional Read more
Whew! If it hasn’t been one thing, it’s been another!!! Hello flight delays! And WordPress not taking my password (but thanks to GoogleFu, I now know how to reset it from the back end – as well as get rid of the login blocker). And swollen ankles (thanks to conference room chairs and small airplanes and flight delays that leave you standing for 2.5 hours). Getting the pictures and graphics to cooperate? Madness I tell Read more
Hey all! So I haven’t blogged much in eons, but such is life :p. I am, however, working on my third book of the year, with a goal of five novels and a novella total by the time 2018 rolls around ;). Another thing I’ve been doing is trying to come up with a better way to connect with y’all. After seeing what some other authors have done, and I’ve enjoyed, I’m going to try Read more
New year… new plans… So what’s coming from me, book wise, this year? I have some seriously ambitious plans, but we’ll see if they come to pass. Here’s what the plan is though. It is kind of novella heavy, but those are quicker and easier to write (usually!), and I have some I’ve been itching to get to. A big chunk of this depends on how quickly I can get this current WIP done and into Read more
Happy New Year, all! Hope your 2017 is off to a great start! 2016 was a difficult year for many people. For us, it wasn’t bad. It was pretty good overall. No major tragedies in our family – immediate or (close) extended. In our extended-extended families there were more challenges – like the members of our family who miscarried twin girls or those who lost everything but each other in the flooding in Baton Rouge. That Read more
