I have been writing, planning, developing and more! (Source)
Hi everyone! Have you been missing me?
It’s a over a week since I posted anything here and I am so sorry! I have been busy with my Platform Challenge and planning my new novel Within The Shadows. I have been writing though (a few poems and some other pieces.) so let me give you a rundown of what’s been going on:
- The Platform Challenge: Today, I just finished Day Twenty-Five, which means that have just 5 days left in the challenge. If you have been following me, I thank you. It has been rough but I am so glad that I am staying strong because I know that when this challenge is over, it will not be over for me. I will need to continue to build my brand and my platform. It’s cool though because I’m ready for it.
- Writing: I have been writing. I have a few poems to post and I need to get back to my Blends again. I also launched a challenge of my own. Since I completed my 79-Word entry for a writing contest hosted by Esquire Magazine, I have decided to challenge myself an spend the next 365 days writing 79-word stories! You can read more about it here.
- Novel Work: I have been planning for my new novel Within The Shadows because I will be off to Camp (NaNoWriMo) next Wednesday and I am so excited. I have been having some difficulty with the setting but I think I have found a way to work it out.
- Etc: I started reading Fifty Shades of Grey and I decided to blog about it at my writer’s blog every Friday (50 Shades Friday). Today was the first post, so please go and check it out!
So that has been my life in a nutshell over the last week and a few days. I will be posting some poetry for you all tomorrow and I hope I can get a Blend in too. Until then you can check out some of my flash fiction from my 79-Words Daily Challenge.
Until next time.
Stay blessed all!
I need to commit myself to doing the NaNoWriMo, because I need to replace my lost story from last November’s WriMo challenge. I am studying so hard for my test that I don’t want to take anytime away from it. I take the test mid-August and don’t think I can catch up the lost time.
What are blends?
You won’t have to worry about your platform. It’s already there. You’re doing great.
JC, you should just focus on your tests right now. This NaNoWriMo is just a camp in August. I plan on doing the official one in November too (Lord willing). And the writing that you’re doing with the 79-Word Daily Challenge should help inspire you for November.
Blends….The are called Daily Blends or Cafe Blends. I have been doing them since 2010 and they are just brief pieces of writing. No edits, just writing. They are usually 1000 words long, sometimes longer. I try to post them everyday but sometimes, I get caught up in other things (Life lol)
Aww, thank you, Jennifer! I really appreciate your kind words. I do want to thank you for sharing my work on FB and encouraging me. You all have been true blessings in my life and I thank God for you all!
Thanks for reading and visiting my blog
Blessings.
Guess I should have read your response before today. Lord, willing I wil be successful in all the things I do. I’m even watching how I speak/write/type. I am speaking it all into existence.
That was an excellent post today. You make it look so easy. Thanks so much for sharing. I really enjoyed reading it very much. Have a wonderful day.
