Today I got to write with my good friend Ruthie! Here are my observations: Hot, brisk tea on my tongue. The cool lulling in the air speaks, whispers "fall." My skin saps in the moisture, the remnants of the morning, from the air. Crick, tap, skatch, rum. Two men snerk over good times and sports. The… Continue reading Today’s Words…

I'm going to write the book one day. A memoir/self-help book entitled: How Bethy Got Her Groove Back. Hmm. Might need to work on that one... ANYWAYS It will be the book of books, one to tell people how I bungee-jumped off the Cliffs of Insanity and lived to tell the tale, and there were… Continue reading Inconceivable!

Did not write 15k? Do not collect your dignity. Go straight to jail. Just kidding...well, about the dignity thing. I failed to write 15,000 words on the third. But I'm not giving up on myself or my writing. Things have just been a bit stressful lately. It's a blip. It'll pass. What about you? Have… Continue reading Soooo…THAT Didn’t Happen

Hiya. I'm just going to touch base briefly. My stats this year have been...well, not very good. BUT I've written over 88,000 words, guys! WOOT! And tomorrow I plan on trying to write... 15,000 words! ...because I am a masochist. Care to join me in setting a ridiculous goal for tomorrow? Post in the comments,… Continue reading It’s September?

SUPER BETHY! Just kidding. Nothing super about me*...except for that one time when I slapped a hand-dryer and it started working again. Everyone called me the Fonz for the rest of the day. It was awesome. Just sayin'....anyway... Things have not gotten any less crazy-busy here. Still helping the Sisterly One with her kids and… Continue reading Crazy Times Call for…

So, what's the difference between explaining a situation and excusing one's behavior? Anyone? Anyone? Buehler? Buehler? I have no idea >.< so...I'm going to excuplain. Why haven't I been blogging lately? Where am I? What am I doing? <--All questions I am certain you are dying to know. The honest to goodness truth: I am… Continue reading Explaining…or excusing?

Ack! Today is Friday! How did this week go so quickly? Anways, here's the scoop: I completed sixteen short stories/songs/poems/plays, and I started two novelettes (each in three parts) for the whole Write Like You're Alive challenge. So, grand total is twenty-two pieces. I'll be in the anthology, so HOORAY! Camp NaNo = Bust. Ending… Continue reading FRIDAY?! Did we even have a Thursday?

This writer's journey is a long one, innit? I've had a bit of a rough week and week's end...but I won't bore y'all with details. It may have involved juice and my sinuses and an accidental snorting, but yeah. The good news is...I GOT BITTEN! :-O ...by two plot bunnies. I really need to have these… Continue reading I Snorted V8 – Oops

Okay, okay, so that ^ title is a little melodramatic. I've written over 26,000 words so far this month, but only 6,000 of them are for Camp NaNoWriMo. My goal for Camp NaNo? 30,000. I will have to up my game, continuing to write a short story/flash fic/poem/song each day, 500 words minimum on the novelette,… Continue reading Progress? What Progress?
