I ain’t gonna lie. I didn’t get much writing done in the first 2 months of 2011. Call it post-holiday blues; chalk it up to a case of wanderlust after going to Texas at the end of January. Whatever. I’m over it.<\/p>\n

The past month, I’ve gotten back into my daily routine. I’ve stopped wallowing when my stories aren’t going as planned. I even manage to cut the umbilical cord of social networking while writing from time to time. Amazing what a little self-discipline can do for one’s word count.<\/p>\n

You see, I’m the type of gal who, when TOLD what to do, I tend to wanna rebel. Maybe it’s the Miss Write side of me. Sure, Miss Write<\/a> is all about the tough love, shut-up-and-get-on-with-it-already school of thinking. But she also isn’t opposed to breaking the rules.<\/p>\n

So, what did it take to rock my word count? Flitting<\/a>. Instead of whinging and moaning when I got stuck, I moved onto another WIP. Tried & true method of mine when I find myself slacking. Keeps me on my toes. And makes writing fun again.<\/p>\n

Because, really. Isn’t it supposed to be fun? No? Then you're not doing it right!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m going to post a little snippet from my latest WIP – either here or on Twitter<\/a>. I’ve dubbed it….. ~drumroll please~<\/em> The Daily WIP-pet!<\/strong> Get it? Snippet? From my WIP? Forget it.<\/p>\n

Here is today’s sampling:<\/p>\n
