ROW80 Midweek Check-In #1

I’ve already had 2 good days and 1 not so good day. Bad news first, I’ve done something terrible to my neck and it HURTS!! I’m on my 2nd day of icing and taking it easy. Tomorrow I hope to begin to add heat and stretching to my neck recovery, I HOPE!!!! My week started on the right foot and that is what I am hanging on to.  I signed up for ROW80 finally and spent Sunday and Monday getting re-organized and I am very pleased with the results.

For the past two months I’ve been in editing mode, looking for what was missing and cleaning up as I go.  In two months I got through just over 100 pages, boo. Between Sunday and Monday I got through 42 pages, yeah, and came away pleased with the pace of the book and I have confirmed each scene IS pushing the story forward, double yeah!!

Yesterday I was a mess of pain and made no progress in my ROW 80 journey.  I was simply trying to do too much and I kept aggravating my neck.  I’ve learned from these mistakes and I got a good night sleep. Today I plan to dig back in and get back to my hour a day goal.

Here’s to progress and healing!!

Six Sentence Sunday #4

Picking my 6 this week was the hardest so far.  I’m still working on my 1st WIP but as you can see by the graphic on the right I’m getting close to being done with this book.  I’m hoping I do not turn into one of those writers who never finishes.  I really like to finish projects and I really want to join a critique group!!!  I’m currently working on some edits.

Back to today’s post, this week I’m starting to show you some heat from my book.  Although this isn’t the first heated scene, it’s the first I’m sharing.  Sam and Mark are meeting for the first time at Club Voyage.  Here are six from the end of their greeting at the beginning of the evening.

While staring deeply into my eyes he takes both his hands and caresses my breasts.

He locates both of my nipples through the fabric, pinches and then pulls.

He does pinch a lot harder than I do, oh that’s nice.

“Eyes on me Sam,” he commands.

I open my eyes and he’s staring into…me, making me feel so many things.

“Follow me.”

I’m starting to get the feeling Sam would follow Mark just about anywhere, but we shall see.  I hope you enjoyed my first sneak at the heat!!

I’ve really enjoying all the authors who participate in SixSunday!!  I have a few new books I’ve already read, couple waiting for me to read and still a few to buy.  I wonder what new attachments I’ll make today, make sure to go make some of your own: SixSunday 

Six Sentence Sunday #3

I’ve got another 6 for you all, from my WIP I’m All Yours. Sam’s good friend Charlie has started her on a journey with a man, a Dominate named Mark.  Sam and Mark have exchanged a few emails and now they are having their first meet at a coffee shop.

He turns my right hand over so my knuckles  are facing him.

“It is very nice to meet you Samantha,” While keeping his eyes on mine he leans in and kisses my
knuckles very sweetly.

I actually blush and practically whisper “thank you, it’s nice to meet you too.”

We sit silently for a bit and drink our coffees. It feels like he is observing me, trying to figure me out.  I start to feel heavy, almost relaxed, that’s
strange, I was so nervous a second ago.

oh Charlie, what has she gotten Sam into? I’m pretty sure Sam doesn’t know what to think of her journey OR Mark, 🙂  Come back next week to see if they start to burn up or just crash

Lots more to read, get hooked, laugh and cry about over at http://www.sixsunday.com/ visit as many as you can, visit those you have before and try out someone knew, you never know when you will fall for a another great author!!!!

Six Sentence Sunday #2

I had so much fun last Sunday.  Not only did I find new authors to follow, but I found several books to read and I got some really nice comments too.  After such a fun start I’m jumping in again for the 2nd time in a row.

I’m keeping to my current WIP I’m All Yours and continuing in the same scene from last week.  Sam has come to her good friend Charlie for advice after firmly committing to learning about her own needs.  After some trepidation Charlie has finally gotten Sam to open up a little.  Charlie has one more question to ask and hear Sam’s response before she can confirm her next steps.

“Do you want someone to injure you?” Charlie queries

 “Well, no, not injure,” she’s asking straightforward questions and it’s beginning to make me feel a
little more comfortable.

“Well ok then, see, not so terrible,” she says confidently.

Not so terrible, that probably depends on who you ask.  “But Charlie, it’s not that simple”

“Oh but Sam, it is.  Do you know what I’m going to do?”

“I have no idea what we are even talking about,” I say confused but excited.

I wont have time to peruse all the #SixSunday posts until Sunday night and I have a real good reason.  Starting November 12th through November 18th I’ll be in full day sessions and earning my Nia White Belt.  I’m really excited about this intense week, but I also can’t wait to get home tonight and read all the posts.  I hope you enjoyed my 2nd 6, please let me know what you really think and come back next week!!  I already have an idea for my 3rd 6 where much will be revealed about what Charlie has discovered about Sam’s needs and what she sets in motion.

Six Sentence Sunday #1

I’m jumping in with both feet into the #SixSunday fun.  Sure I’ve hesitated now for a few weeks, but no more.  The six sentences below are from my current and 1st WIP I’m All Yours.  Sam has come to her good friend for advice after firmly committing to learning about her own needs.

I look her in the eyes, I know she cares and will listen but I’m still nervous to start this conversation.

“I don’t think I can do that, it’s just too embarrassing,” I whisper as I swirl my finger in the condensation on my glass.

“Nothing doing, you know I’m open minded, no judgment here.  Sam, look at me.” I look right at her, again.

“That’s better, I just want to help you, it’s obvious you want to talk to me about something, so go on, spill it.”

Please let me know what you think and come back next Sunday for six more sentences in Sam’s journey.  Thank you to everyone over at http://sixsunday.com, if you have not yet checked out their site, go now, you just might find a new author to follow.

Some where to begin

I’ve been writing for several months now.  Never thought I’d get a few thousand words let alone the fifty thousand mark that I broke yesterday.  I still have a few read throughs I want to do before I move on to book #2.  Since I know there are other things a writer needs to do, besides write, today I began a new journey.  I bought my domain name and I’m beginning to set up my new blog.

After months and months of writing, writing, writing and learning new things, it’s time to start putting my work out there and get some feed back.  My first step is to find a critique group.  Wonder how long it will take me to find a group of folks who are interested in helping me with my stories.  I’m pretty nervous about this initial step and I know it may not be easy, but I’m so excited to find a group that I can help and that can help me.

Hopefully in the months ahead I’ll be writing about finding my crit group.  I’ll also be writing about my books, giving you reviews of books I’ve read and blogs and websites I love to visit.
