Wednesday Update #3



This week I am participating in Rachel Harrie's platform-building campaign. So if you're here for that, Welcome!



I feel kinda bad that my post on Monday was so dark, and everyone who to came to my blog got depressed, but I promise it's a lot of fun around here most of the time :)

















My writing is coming along slow and steady. I've updated my writing status bar to your right to show my progress on the re-write. That way you guys can poke me when I'm not doing anything.



That's pretty much it on the news front so I'll leave you all with one of my long-time favorite songs. It's one that never grows old to me.







What goals do you have this week?

Hey - fellow Campaigner here - and I scrolled down and read your Monday post. Heartbreaking. I will put that family in my prayers.

On a much lighter note, I'll see you out there....

Hi, Just another campaigner stopping by to say hello. Can’t wait to get stuck into the writer’s campaign.

I’m doing the rounds so to speak! I’m following, Facebook liking (because we all like that…) Goggle + finding and saying hello 

Have a great time in the Campaign

Another campaigner stopping by!

I scrolled down to read your Monday and I'm so sorry to hear that happened to your friends' family. I'll keep them in my thoughts.

(I then scrolled up and saw your next month. I loved Divergent!)

As for myself, I'm currently working on some pre-writing for my WIP. So my goal for the week is to finish that up!

YAY for the campaign builders! It is really getting huge. I'm so glad you are doing it too!

As for my goals this week... I think I am just hoping to survive the week! JK. I need to get badges put on my sons scout uniform, take the kids to Back to school night and run one of the booths, make sure to blog and get 10K done in my novel. Visit with an online crit group and another crit group both on thursday night. AGH. See what I mean about surviving?

I didn't know Jimmy Eat World did slow songs. I always heard their faster rock ones. Learn something new every day!
