Tuesday

Posted on May 17, 2016 by AmyBeth Inverness

I would like to say that the transition is over, that we’ve completed the move and I’ve got a handle on both the current and future writing projects. The truth is we’re still finding places for stuff in the new … Continue reading →

What Do You Mean It’s Not Wednesday?

Posted on May 12, 2016 by AmyBeth Inverness

Well. That escalated quickly. Or rather, de-escalated. Actually, it didn’t go anywhere at all. Last week, my update was all about “I’m gonna do some planning blah blah blah…” I thought I’d not only do more writing, but I’d also … Continue reading →

Where Am I?

Posted on May 5, 2016 by AmyBeth Inverness

The force was not with me today. Three hours at the DMV, all because twenty-one years ago I changed not just my last name, but my first name when I got married. Apparently Colorado is freaked out that I went … Continue reading →

Outcast No More

Posted on March 2, 2016 by AmyBeth Inverness

It’s five in the morning and I’m sitting in a Super 8 in Colorado Springs, watching channel 13 news on mute with closed captioning on. The rest of the family is still asleep, although my husband is stirring and the … Continue reading →

NaNo a NoGo

Posted on December 1, 2015 by AmyBeth Inverness

I love NaNoWriMo! For me, busting out as many words as possible in a short time is a very effective strategy for writing. From 2010-2014, I won four out of five times, writing more than fifty thousand words each November. … Continue reading →

Lorinda’s Release Day

Posted on November 25, 2015 by AmyBeth Inverness

Row 80 Update: No writing is happening, and I have accepted that for this transition period. (We’re moving in January.) I have set down my NaNoWriMo WIP, and I hope to return to it after we’re resettled. There are, however, … Continue reading →

Clicking My Heels Three Times

Posted on November 16, 2015 by AmyBeth Inverness

An offer was made on the house. The offer was accepted. Closing is in January. We found out last Spring that my parents (who own the house we live in) had decided to put the house on the market. We … Continue reading →

Upgrades

Posted on November 3, 2015 by AmyBeth Inverness

I remember the first CD I bought. Fleetwood Mac’s Behind the Mask in 1990. I didn’t have a CD player yet, but I didn’t want to be one of those people who bought a player but couldn’t afford to buy … Continue reading →

Gurgleplargh

Posted on October 28, 2015 by AmyBeth Inverness

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

If you are fortunate enough to have old albums or boxes of photos from the late twentieth century (Wow…did I just say that like it’s a historical thing?) you may notice a recurring theme. One parent, usually the mother, is often … Continue reading →
