OLDER AND WISER #IWSG

Posted on April 3, 2024April 3, 2024 by Loni Townsend

March flew by for me, and I was busy with all the things from celebrating my
birthday and having fun on spring break with the kids to less fun events that
ratcheted up my anxiety to fresh new levels. But all my personal chaos aside,
let’s talk writing. Rewriting book 1 is a bigger undertaking…

BETA READY? #IWSG

Posted on March 6, 2024March 5, 2024 by Loni Townsend

Happy March! It’s the first Wednesday and I’ll be slow to visit people, as I’m
off to a career fair with my daughter most of the day. I’ve made significant
progress on book 2, and I think I’m to the point of asking for beta readers! I
did decide yesterday I needed to tweak one…

MONTH TWO, ALREADY? #IWSG

Posted on February 7, 2024 by Loni Townsend

I totally spaced today’s post. It’s that whole second-week-of-the-month timing
that catches me. Whoops. I’ve been hard at work trying to get my POVs rewritten,
and it’s pretty mind-consuming. I struggled and struggled with introducing a
detail to one POV. Eventually, I decided I’d skip trying to put this detail in
its own chapter and…

NEW YEAR, NEW GOALS #IWSG

Posted on January 3, 2024January 2, 2024 by Loni Townsend

Welcome to 2024, Everyone! Guess what?! I finished my zero draft of Isto before
my end-of-year, self-imposed deadline! Here’s a little animation I made of me
and Derek dancing in celebration. (It’s my first animation, so please excuse the
poor quality.) Having completed the rough draft of version 6, I now move on to
editing….

WILL I BEAT THE CLOCK? #IWSG

Posted on December 6, 2023December 5, 2023 by Loni Townsend

It’s the first Wednesday of the month, and the last Wednesday of the year. Much
to my chagrin, I haven’t finished my book yet. It’s not for a lack of trying. I
just spent three months trying to get one chapter to work correctly. After
redoing it multiple times, I think I got it to…

ALMOST THERE #IWSG

Posted on November 1, 2023October 31, 2023 by Loni Townsend

Happy November everyone! I had really hoped to be announcing my success with
book 2. Alas, life’s activities kept creeping in, and my visions for last few
scenes never solidified. I did make major progress, though, and I overcame a
mega scene hurdle that had me stuck for months. Woot! Now, all I have left…

WRICATION #IWSG

Posted on October 4, 2023October 4, 2023 by Loni Townsend

Happy Insecure Writer’s Support Group day! I’ll be slow to visit this week,
because I’m on a wrication (that’s what I call it when I take vacation for the
sole purpose of writing). My goal is to finish this version of the book this
week. If you aren’t familiar with my struggles, I’ve had 6…

THAT DIDN’T GO AS PLANNED #IWSG

Posted on September 6, 2023September 5, 2023 by Loni Townsend

I had big plans for August. I was going to cut back on Red Bull, eat healthy,
exercise, spend more time with my kids, and all around be super mom. A week into
it, and everything got derailed. My dog died on the 8th. Inu was old (15 years),
and we were thinking he wouldn’t…

MISTAKES MADE #IWSG

Posted on August 2, 2023July 31, 2023 by Loni Townsend

The summer flew by, and I feel I accomplished a decent amount these past couple
of months. I’ve taken the kids to the swimming pool, arcade, zoo, fun-zone
amusement center, and we’ll be hitting the fair later this month. I’ve also made
good progress on book 2, finally working out the details for my last…

FOCUS PROBLEMS #IWSG

Posted on July 5, 2023June 30, 2023 by Loni Townsend

Wow. July. The year’s already halfway gone. In June, school let out, I had to
adjust to driving a different car because mine died, and I celebrated 17 years
married to my husband. But this is Insecure Writer’s Support Group day, so I
should probably talk about writing. I’ve put a lot of focus into…

Welcome to my blog. I post here on Wednesdays most of the time, but you can find
me on social media any day of the week. My topics include my stories and
writing, life at the Town's End, creating and tinkering with graphics, things I
learn and think might be helpful to others, and the occasional amateur photo.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope to see you around.
