A finished first draft

October 4, 2012October 4, 2012 CasiaPickering

For the longest time, I have started countless projects fully intending on them being finished and published. I have never finished a full novel's first draft. That is, until today. Today marks the first time I have ever finished writing the first draft of a book. Though I have many drafts left to do and… Continue reading A finished first draft

The Desire is Back!

September 22, 2012 CasiaPickering

Lately, I have been in a writing rut. I haven't had the desire to compose anything in a few days. Today though, the desire is back. I think a part of it is the fall like air outside. Fall always makes me feel renewed. Another reason may be because I have been wanting to change… Continue reading The Desire is Back!

Stuck in a Rut

September 14, 2012 CasiaPickering

You know the feeling. Truly, you do. It's when you don't think you can do anymore. You've lost all your steam, all of your confidence. You've lost your drive. On top of that, there's the anxiety that goes with it. Yep, that's where I'm at. I am three chapters away from being done with the… Continue reading Stuck in a Rut

4 Chapters Left!

September 9, 2012 CasiaPickering

Ever since I was in preschool, I've wanted to write. Since then, I've written countless short stories, countless unfinished novels, and mountains of poetry. I've also written a piece of a high school play and wrote a preschool play. I am constantly writing. You can tell just by looking at this blog. My current project… Continue reading 4 Chapters Left!

My Book Thus Far

You may be asking to yourself: "Casia, how's your book going?" Well, great inquiring minds, I am currently writing. Yep, I'm still writing. I never finished the June NaNo and I'm still working on it right now. I estimated the book at twenty chapters. The good thing? I have four and 1/4th chapters left to… Continue reading My Book Thus Far

Changing Everything

September 1, 2012 CasiaPickering

So, I'm sure you've noticed that the blog name has changed, but the URL is the same. You have? Good. The reason for it was that I wanted a change. I wanted to make it state that this is me. Of course, that just made it look strange and now I'm wondering if I should… Continue reading Changing Everything

Random Thoughts

August 30, 2012 CasiaPickering

I've been thinking... My book "reviews" are terrible. They don't really give a lot of information. Most of it is my opinion and thoughts on the books I've read. Which is PART of a review, but really, no one really knows what I'm talking about when I type what I feel about a book. I… Continue reading Random Thoughts

Writing Soundtrack

July 18, 2012 CasiaPickering

Many authors listen to music as they write. They tend to use popular or rock music to help set the mood within them in order to write. I personally love using music to help me write. However, I also listen to audio books while writing. The funny thing is, I don't care to listen to… Continue reading Writing Soundtrack

Aloha and Composition Notebooks

June 22, 2012 CasiaPickering

Sorry for not updating lately. Truly, I am. I have been writing like a madwoman, playing mommy to a now three month old, and vacationing in the beautiful state Hawaii. Right now, I am way behind on my word goal for the first Camp NaNoWriMo. It started when I was sick last week and really… Continue reading Aloha and Composition Notebooks
