Writing Challenge Update #4

I know this is once again late. I forgot I'm sorry. My latest tally typed words a big fat 0. Why did I say typed? Because I've written everything out long hand in a notebook so truth is I have no idea how many words I've written. Since it's supposed to rain/ thunderstorm today I'm hoping to get some of it typed. No promises though.

Writing Challenge update #3

Ok I forgot to post yesterday. Ya'll can spank me later.
I had to take my daughter for kindergarten screening and then do some errands. I couldn't believe the stuff they wanted kids to know BEFORE they entered school. I used to think that, that was what school was for teaching kids, but now not so sure.
Any way update 104. Which is kinda sucky, but I finished a short I've been working on for a awhile. So it's not so bad. While it wasn't on my intended list of works, my muse seemed to want to work on it and I figure as long as I'm writing something. Now it's back to rewrites from hell. Another short that's got serious issues. If I hadn't magically managed to get it contracted I'd throw the damn thing in the trash and be done with it. But I did and that means fixing it till the pubs happy. Somebody shoot me... Please!
Ok Final tally for June- 1269

Writing Challenge Update # 2

No I didn't forget I've just been very overwhelmed today. My daughter had her front four teeth removed yesterday and is still not feeling quiet herself and my son is very cranky. So this will be quick. I've wrote 690 since the last check in so that means total I'm at a whopping 1165 so far. Yeah I suck, but in my defense I didn't get any writing done at all Sat because we renovated the bathroom and of course nothing yesterday because we were at the dentist.

Writing Challenge Update 1

So it's Wednesday and as promised my first update on the writing challenge 475 words. Talk about a slow start I had dreams of being at at least 2k today. On the plus side at least I am writting again. Guess I need to be realistic with two kids, house work, and every thing else I have going on it's amazing I got that much written.

Which reminds me, if your not busy tomorrow stop by the eXcessica yahoo group around 1pm EST to chat with me and some other great authors. I'll be talking about my eXcessica release The Wingless Fairy, written under my alter ego Wynter O'Reilly. If you're interested I'll be doing a mini-interview with Jen Campbell about the main characters from the short as well. So stop by we'll have a good ole time.

Writing Challenge

I signed up to do a writing challenge with a few of my fellow Midnight Seduction Authors, 25k in 30 days. Why? Well... (she replies looking down at her feet and kicking at a loose pebble) because I need a kick in the pants when it comes to my writing lately and I'm hoping this will do it. The challenge starts today and I'll be checking in here with my stats every Wednesday and then on the 30th to let you know if I did it or not. Here's the low down of what I hope to get done this month.

5k- Short for anthology
5k-Vampire Short another anthology
10k- Finish Paranormal Full length
4k- Free Read
1k- Rewrites(I hope this counts)

So that's my 25k hopefully I'll be able to do it. Feel free to cheer, jeer and harass me.

Help! My muse has stage fright!

Ok I really need to know if I'm the only one this happens to? I know what needs to happen in a story and I know what I want to happen. Yet every time I sit down to write it I draw a blank. That little black blinking cursor sits mocking me. It taunts me to type. But it's like my muse has stage fright, we're find during brainstorming, but when the time comes to put it to paper/ computer screen, she freezes. I have three works in progress and one rewrite, all I really want to finish yet can't because my brain just seizes up when I try. Can anyone offer up some advice as to how to get over this? I've tried all my usually tricks and nothing helps.

Dream Cheating

Ever have a sex dream, I’m pretty sure almost every one has. You know it's you, Johnnie Depp and a bowl of strawberries. Well what if that dream was with someone other than your sweetie. (Ahem...Above reference.) Does it count as cheating?
I know my hubby has these dreams all the time. He tells me about them. Fodder for more books... I think... or maybe he’s just bragging or feeling guilty. But I had one the other night and woke up feeling guilty. Weird, right? I mean it was just a dream. Or was it? Any one remember that song from Cinderella, A dream is a wish your heart makes? In high school I used to really be into dreams and the like. So I wonder what does it mean when you dream of having sex?

Here’s what I found from Dream Moods online Dream Dictionary-
Sex-
To dream about sex, refers to the psychological completion and the integration of contrasting aspects of the Self. You need to be more receptive and incorporate aspects of your dream sex partner into your own character. Alternatively and a more direct interpretation of the dream, may be your libido's way of telling you that it's been too long since you have had sex. It may indicate repressed sexual desires and your needs for physical and emotional love. If you are looking for a place to have sex, then the dream may be analogous to your search for intimacy and closeness.

To dream about sex with someone other than your spouse or significant other, suggests dissatisfaction with the physical side of your relationship. On the other hand, it may be harmless fantasy. In such situations, you may find that you are less inhibited sexually and you can even bring that sense of adventure to your existing relationship.

There’s a lot more to this section but this seems to hit the nail on the head. I haven’t had sex in about four months and apparently my bodies telling me it’s time. Makes sense, so I guess cheating in your dreams isn’t such a bad thing. And me and the hubby need some alone time. ;)

Oh and just for fun what does have sex with a celebrity mean-
To dream that you are having sex with a celebrity, indicates your drive to be successful. Consider what movies your associate this celebrity with for clues as to where and what you want to achieve success in.
