Yeah for writing goals! I did a lot of work this week. I was hoping to say “…and I finished The Beekeeper’s Mother” but…not yet. Close though. A chapter and a half, and I can close it up neatly and … Continue reading →

Selfieish

Posted on October 21, 2015 by AmyBeth Inverness

Ummm…Er…~cough~

Posted on October 14, 2015 by AmyBeth Inverness

A busy week, but I specifically added the goal of not letting writing-related stuff trump actual-writing stuff more than half the week. It kinda did. Yes, I had important stuff that needed to be done, but in the end if … Continue reading →

When They Know You, and When They Don’t

Posted on September 22, 2015 by AmyBeth Inverness

About ten years ago, before we had kids, I took hubby down to the area in southern Connecticut where I lived and worked as a nanny back in the early nineties. I knew the kids had not only grown, but … Continue reading →

Are We There Yet?

Posted on September 15, 2015 by AmyBeth Inverness

For the past few weeks I’ve posted about how little actual writing I’ve done even though I’ve been busy with editing, promo, and other writing-related stuff. Last week I swore I’d get back into the actual-writing goal, and I did. … Continue reading →

Ma Lune Est Faite de Fromage Vert

Posted on August 26, 2015 by AmyBeth Inverness
