What's Up Wednesday



What's Up Wednesday is a blog hop created by Jamie Morrow and Erin Funk to help writers connect.  I need a little encouragement in the area of writing these days so I felt motivated to join in and find some new friends.  The headings for the WUW posts are:

WHAT I'M READING
WHAT I'M WRITING (+ WRITING GOAL)
WHAT WORKS FOR ME
WHAT ELSE IS NEW

WHAT I'M READING

I am currently reading the delicious Mr. Sandman by Lyle Howard which I am enjoying very much.  I am also reading Writing Fight Scenes by Rayne Hall in the hopes of getting my current writing project unstuck.

WHAT I'M WRITING (+ WRITING GOAL)

I got in a whole 200 words on my WIP over the last week, which is more than I have in the last month so I think that's progress. 

 My goal for this week is to continue that progress and maybe add some more words if I can.

WHAT WORKS FOR ME

 Clearly coming on here and blogging about how I was going to put some time into working on my writing did the trick because I would have felt bad about having nothing to report.  It's not much but it is something and it can only go up from here. 

 WHAT ELSE IS NEW

Ace and I are going through some school drama, oh the fun of having children.  I remember oh so well the days when I thought I knew it all and I feel bad for what I put my mom through now.  Especially since I am getting it back double.

    I'm all about stating my writing intentions to writer friends, too. Honestly, nothing seems to work quite so well for me as that kind of accountability. I've been struggling to add words to my WiP as well, so I'm right there with you on continued progress and adding words if I can. Hope this is a great week for you all around! :D

    Sorry about the school drama. I've got four kids and so far it's been pretty drama-free but I know it won't last forever. :/
    200 words is better than nothing! Good luck on meeting your goal this week.

    School trouble is the worse; it brings on heaps of Mama guilt and feels awful. But it passes. Sorry you're having to deal with that gunk!

Making Mac and Cheese

Image
One of my favorite vegetables is butternut squash so when Chatelaine  posted this yummy looking recipe  for mac and cheese brimming with squash I immediately pinned it to make at a later time.  Now, before Pinterest  I am willing to admit, recipes got saved in my e-mail, but they never got made.  They just got lost in the shuffle; now they get neatly organized and displayed where I can go through them on a regular basis.  More importantly than that I can try them.   This recipe worked out well for me, I thought the cheese and squash tasted great together, the kids however did not agree.  They like their squash on the side, where they can control how much they ingest.  Next time I will definitely use less breadcrumbs though.

Spooktacular Giveaway Hop

Image
When I was much younger than I am now, I loved nothing more that a good "spooky" story.  I spent many nights laying up in bed reading books that were designed to make your skin crawl and leave you with goose bumps. My personal favourite author for Young Adult Thrillers was and probably still is Christopher Pike.  Twenty years after reading his books some of them still stand out in my mind in perfect clarity.  The top one would be Remember Me. Something about Shari's story struck a chord with me that has echoed through the last twenty years, as any good book should I suppose. Sadly when I was a teenager I didn't hold on to as many books as I do now so I spend a lot of time hunting to replace the ones I really wish I had kept. (Sweet Valley High anyone?) I am giving away a $15 Amazon gift card in the hopes that you can use it to buy a book to be loved as much as I loved this one. a Rafflecopter giveaway This post is part of The Spooktacular Giveaw...
