Tarot Tuesday
Vibes of the Week: Four of Cups. Keywords are discouraged, apathy, taking things for granted. So, you know, fun. I’ll take it as a warning and try to be more of a glass half full girl. Hidden Opportunity: The Emperor. Keywords are authority, structure, stability, discipline. Clearly what is needed here is some strong leadership.…

Weekly Goals
Here we are again. Somehow, I’ve gotten myself back into the position where there aren’t any small goals left. There’s only one goal- Finish It. So, I’m going to take another shot at those last 20K words that have yet to be revised and see if I can pull off the KO. Might have to…

Progress Check
Solved one and a half of the two plot problems I wanted to solve this week. I’m still working on revising the last two chapters I shared with my critique partner, but I have a pretty good idea of what needs to happen to move it forward. I also touched base with the mastermind group…

What I’m Reading
Not what you expected, I’m sure. I have to give some love to my nonfiction shelves, since YouTube doesn’t always have all the answers. Still revising Cate 2.0, but this week I’m also learning some amateur plumbing. (And yes, I see the jokes sitting on the shelf there. Where is your mind?) Anyway, this is…

Tarot Tuesday
Yesterday got away from me, so I’m doing my weekly vibe check today instead. This is one of my favorite week spreads (from @awitchalone) The lesson is the Queen of Pentacles. I feel like I never go a week without seeing this Mama, so at least this week she’s stepping out there with confidence. Still…

Weekly Goals
Instead of finishing the draft last week, I moved a bunch of chapters around (mostly at the beginning) and wrote new transitions. I resurrected a chapter I’d cut (and may cut again), bringing my word count over 80k. Not bad for an original goal of 65k. All of which is to say that I’m basically…

Progress Check
Insane goals lead to insane progress. I’m so close. And the day’s not over yet. Realistically, I’m probably not going to finish today. It’s disappointing, but I’m still way ahead of where I thought I’d be just a few weeks ago. I’ve been killing darlings left and right, and it’s only making the manuscript stronger.…

Book Mail
It’s @goscribbler day! First off, how sweet are the ladies at Scribbler? After they found out that my snack bag popped en route (totally not their fault), they reached out to make sure I got a new one in my next box. Which means this box has TWO yummy snacks. And my kids are at…

Tarot Tuesday
As I’m getting closer to finishing the WIP, I’m starting to look at next steps. Publishing is a whole other project. The page of swords says I’m ready for it. He jumps into new plans with enthusiasm and energy. The Queen of swords is flexible, having both the mental clarity and clear boundaries necessary to…
