ROW 80 Sunday check in

ByCheryel October 30, 2011

I attended HallowCon this weekend, and had a blast. Sold one book, and a couple of people walked away with my info saying they wanted would buy one later. But that’s not the point, not really. More than anything, it’s about the fun 🙂

ROW 80. I haven’t finished all the polishing and a few other details to get the partial manuscripts out. I am committed to NaNo. Not only committed, but determined. Sooooooo…back to the writers cave until I’m done. Somebody shove a sandwich under the door once in a while, please. Goals here.

Blood, Fingerprints, and DNA

The Heatwave in Europe

ByCheryel July 21, 2022July 21, 2022

There’s a heatwave in Europe. I know, for most of us, that seems like something we don’t need to worry about. After all, we have plenty on our plates as it is. But we do need to think about this. The UK, for instance, is known for being cool and damp. It’s not today, my…

I Like To Play With Blocks, OK?

ByCheryel May 17, 2012

This is my desk (yes, it’s messy), I found these blocks on clearance one day and when I start writing for the day I tend to set them up to match my mood. It’s fun. Do you have childlike things you do? If not, try it, you’ll like it 🙂

Glad you had a great time at HallowCon, Cheryel! I know you will do great during NaNo and have fun starting the new project. What’s your fave sandwich? I’ll make sure you get that and maybe some chocolate pushed under the door as you crank out word count. 🙂
