Rose's Writing Journey: June 2008
http://roseswritingjourney.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 27, 2008. I stole this meme from Deniz. Ah, the fun of doing a useless quiz when I should be getting over a rough spot in the novel. {eg}. What is the wallpaper on your computer? A boring Vista picture of grass with dew on it. How many televisions do you have in your house? Are you right handed or left handed? Left-handed, even when it's inconvenient. Have you ever had anything removed from your body? Not that I know of :P. What is the last heavy item you lifted? Already done it for free!

Rose's Writing Journey: August 2008
http://roseswritingjourney.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 11, 2008. Long time no see! It's been ages since I updated this blog last! But in this case at least, my silence here equals a great deal of productivity. In the last few weeks, I've upped the word count on the 2nd draft of Hidden Underground from 20,000 to 50,000, which means I'm now half finished. Hurrah! That's a good deal toward my goal of completing this stage before Christmas. Since it's my birthday today (blazing hot day at 120 degrees Fahrenheit! Excerpt #1 from Hidden Underground.

Rose's Writing Journey: February 2008
http://roseswritingjourney.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 24, 2008. Literally laughing out loud. Does it ever bug you how often you see the word literally used all wrong? From stories, to blogs, to new articles, and of course constantly in everyday speech, people love to use the word, ending up with some pretty ridiculous sounding assertions. My brother and I discussed our shared pet peeve about this the other day, which led to a googling challenge to see how many results we got for phrases like "his eyes literally popped out of his head" (eww!

Rose's Writing Journey: Losing Perspective
http://roseswritingjourney.blogspot.com/2008/05/losing-perspective.html
Friday, May 30, 2008. Writing Hidden Underground over the past seven years, the project's become such a part of me that I sometimes feel like I'm losing perspective. My list of criticsms of it could fill pages, but I don't know how to fix them, because I can't look at it objectively, even when I put it aside for months. In my self-critical viewpoint, I'm probably blowing the extent of its problems out of proportion. So what do you folks do when these blues hit? Posted by Rose D. View my complete profile.

Rose's Writing Journey: March 2008
http://roseswritingjourney.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 26, 2008. Just for fun, here's a pencil portrait I did recently, drawn from a photo of a friend's daughter with regular pencil and paper. Posted by Rose D. Tuesday, March 25, 2008. My first novel lies in the midst of the second draft, begging to be edited. I have no excuse to drag my feet on it, really. But instead of buckling down to it, I've been busily writing chunks of my new WIP, as they sizzle in my mind and demand their turn to be heard. Another interesting bit of research I've be...

Wednesday, March 26, 2008. Just for fun, here's a pencil portrait I did recently, drawn from a photo of a friend's daughter with regular pencil and paper. Posted by Rose D. How talented you are! I can only paint something, so that it looks a bit like the thing my teacher told me to do. LOL. March 30, 2008 at 10:13 AM. Do you have any more? How about any of Jamie and Claire or any of the Lord of the Rings characters? You can tell my biases can't you :-). April 2, 2008 at 12:59 PM. You are SO TALENTED!
