Ensign’s Log, Entry 60: It’s a Wrap for June!

June has been a bit of a break month for me in terms of writing. I was busy prepping for Between Heroes and Villains‘s release on the 17th (get your copy here!) and then recovering from said prep–proofreading and formatting is exhausting! But totally worthwhile when you’re holding that finished …

Ensign’s Log, Entry 59: I’m back! And with a big announcement!

Hi everyone! I’m feeling much better, though still taking it easy. There will not be a month map for June, but there IS a release on its way! My writer’s group, the Just-Us League, is releasing their second anthology on June 17th. This one is titled Between Heroes and Villains: …

Ensign’s Log, Entry 58: Update on May, or Why this blog will be silent for a while

A lot of things have happened these past two weeks–some good, some bad. The good: I have extra work this month that was unexpected but very welcome. Suffice to say, it’s doing what I want to be doing as my regular part-time job, and I hope it will lead to …

Ensign’s Log, Entry 57: May Month Map, aka an attempt at reasonable goals

It’s a new month, which means a clean, fresh start! (And cherry blossoms on my month map, since it’s around cherry blooming season in Brooklyn and I LOVE cherry blossoms.) This May, I’m going for simple, firm goals. No bonuses, no piling on things I might not have time to …

Ensign’s Log, Entry 56: April Month Map Final Update

It’s time for a final look at how April went… I warn you now, it didn’t go as well as planned. Mainly because I bit off a bit too much to do on top of everything else that was going on in April… The breakdown: Upgrade: 6/20 chapters edited so …

Ensign’s Log, Entry 55: April Month Map Week Two Update!

Yes, this is a few days late. This month has been so crazy… The breakdown: Upgrade: I’ve edited Chapter 5, putting me a quarter of the way through the book. Will be focusing more on this, as I really want to wrap up this revision. Don’t Make a Wish: Currently …

Ensign’s Log, Entry 54: April Month Map and March’s Wrap Up

April dawned bright, rainy, and hectic… But I finally snagged enough time to sort out my April goals and update my March month map. Let’s start with the results from March. So much color! March was definitely my most successful month yet, in terms of reaching goals. Not perfect, but …

Ensign’s Log, Entry 53: March Month Map, Week Three Update!

Here’s another Month Map update–this one’s actually on time, hurray! 🙂 Possibly even a little ahead of time, given that I still have half the day left and it’s only the 21st. But since I’ve been making good progress, what the hey! Let’s take a look at my map: Skin …

Ensign’s Log, Entry 52: March Month Map, Week Two Update!

I missed my week one update, but since most of what’s been done so far this month happened this past week, it’s not a big deal. However, now that we’re halfway through the month, it’s definitely time for an update! Here’s how I’m doing so far… Skin as White as …

Ensign’s Log, Entry 51: March Month Map

I’m welcoming in March with a shiny new month map and new goals (plus a couple transfers.) Skin As White As Snow: This month’s major goal is finishing the first draft of this. I’m going to start by reading through what I’ve got so far and filling in some holes, …
