I have a winner to announce today! Thanks to everyone who commented on my previous post spotlighting With a Name like Love, the debut novel of author Tess Hilmo. And the winner of her very own copy of With a Name like Love is Anne Kenny! Congratulations, Anne!
And once again I am changing my blogging schedule. The good news is that I'm finally done outlining my newest wip! (((throws confetti))) I've started working on the rough draft and it feels soooo good to be writing again! But my goal is a scene a day, and that's taking up most of my free time. So from now on, aside from the occasional blogfest or special blogging event, I'll be posting only on Tuesdays to make more time for rough-drafting. Don't you just hate when writing gets in the way of blogging? :)
So, how's your writing coming? What are you working on right now?

CONGRATS to Anne!
I love first drafting. It's magical to me. Enjoy your drafting! :)
Yay for making progress, and a big congrats to Anne!
"Don't you just hate when writing gets in the way of blogging?"
Absolutely! LOL I've been resetting my goals and redoing my blog schedule too.
I like the scene a day idea. That sounds doable.
Hope you enjoy the novel, Anne! And thanks again for hosting this gracious giveaway and helping me celebrate my launch, Susan. What a blessing friends are!
This book seems to be everywhere. I'm definitely adding it to my list to purchase.
For me the blogging is getting in the way of writing other stuff. My fault! Maybe NaNo will inject some new fervor in my novel writing.
Good luck with your novel.

So You Want to be a Writer?
Congratulations to Anne, and to you too, for finishing the outline and on to the next step of your writing process. My writing currently is dedicated only to blog posts recently (darn day job!) but I am reading an excellent book on writing that is helping me feel motivated to didicate time to work on my WIP's again.
Congrats to Anne!! :-)
Congratulations to Anne and glad you're off and rolling with a sound idea.
Congratulations Anne. And Susan, you go with the writing. Blogging has to come second.
There's been a lot going on and my writing has fallen to the wayside. I intend to fix that!
Congratulations Anne
So happy to read that you're done with the outline and a scene a day is FANTASTIC. Go you. Rah.
congrats on the WIP, Suzie!
Good for you, getting your priorities straight. Right now I need to stop reading blogs and go work on my WiP! I'm on my second draft and almost done. 10,000 more words to go!
Have fun rough drafting!
Amy
Congrats Anne! And you make me realize I need to go work, too. :)
*grabs book from Anne and takes off* :D
Congratulations to Anne! :)
I'm trying to finish my current novel before NaNoWriMo--I'm so close. I think I might just get it done before the 20th, which would give me more time to outline the novel I plan to write for NaNo.
Starting something new is always fun! I'm still editing. Wish there were more hours in the day.
Congrats to Anne for the win
Congrats to you for the outlining
And good luck with your new schedule and WIP. Exciting.
Woo hoo on finishing your outline. I was about to start mine by got side tracked with edits on my WIP. Maybe next week. :D
Good luck on your first draft.
Congratulations to Anne! She's going to love LOVE!
I expect you'll have something to show me next month when I come to visit. :)
Congrats to Anne! The book was awesome. ;)
Working on my same ms. I'm getting a little sick of it.
Congrats to Anne!
Lucky thing. It sounds a good book :)
Lucky Anne! Congratulations to her.
And hurray for you! Finishing the outlining is huge. (throws more confetti) I've found that blogging only once a week really does buy me more writing time. There just aren't enough hours in the day sometimes.
Happy writing!
Congratulations on the progress you have made. I'll be looking for your Tuesday posts!
Congrats to Anne! I am gearing up for yet a more intense revision.
*Spits and shakes head*
Dang confetti gets everywhere! :)
You and I are in about the same spot. I've started my outline and the prologue and first chapter, but my outline is far from complete because I kind of half-outline, half-fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants.
Congrats, Anne!
Congratulations on finishing that job and here's more confetti to add to your celebration.
I see you're a Planner. Guess you wouldn't be interested in joining our SemiPantser group, right?
Got to go back to work. Am doing my last go through of my manuscript. It's been marinating long enough.
Hooray for Anne! That's so awesome that your outline is done and you're drafting. Good luck to you!
Congrats to Anne! I'm excited to get this one into my hot little hands. I love Tess!
I'm glad your outlining is done. Yay! Best of luck drafting--I'm revising for a cool friend of mine. :o)
Congrats to Anne :)
And well done you! I'm writing a short story for my daughter, starring her and her pet chicken of course. When my boy realised it was about his sister he went into a major sulk. So the next story is his. Monsters are a must apparantly. haha
Congratulations to Anne!
Congrats Anne! Congrats to you too, Susan, sounds like you're making great progress with your WIP. Lately I've been concentrating on research and reading and more research and more reading.
Congrats to Anne--and to you, too! That's great about your WIP! I'm playing with a new idea and in the early stages of outlining. Outlining is my least favorite part, but I am a total plotter and I love having a strong outline to follow.
New WIPS are like a new love affair! How exciting!
My writing is going great!
