Happenings in 2016
This is a list of my projected projects for 2016. It will be interesting to see how many of them I accomplish over the year. I may complete them all and I may only complete a few of them, but I definitely need to get back to my writing and get some projects completed.
YEAR-LONG PROJECTS
For the entire year, I will be doing 365 Days of Writing Prompts, a download that I snatched from Word Press that came out in 2013. You can find it happening over at Promptly Written
Also for the entire year, I am going to do small stones over at A Whispered Wind

At As the Fates Would Have It, I will be celebrating Joyful January with Satya and Kaspa over at Writing Our Way Home

NOVEMBER
I will be participating in NaNoWriMo, but I am not sure yet if I will post my novel on any of my blogs at this moment. This will be my 3rd attempt in 4 years. Something always seems to come up around that time to prevent me from completing this challenge, but not in 2016! I am sending out to the Universe that I will complete a novel in November 2016!
DECEMBER
No project scheduled as of yet
PROJECTS TO WORK ON
- More Astraeus stories (or another novella) – these will be posted on Promptly Written as I get them completed – I will be adding them here because this is where I began the project last April for the A-to-Z Challenge and I don’t want to confuse my readers by moving them to another blog – they will not be prompted stories.
- Post my Ravyne Ramirez stories and write more of them – these will be posted on A Whispered Wind
- More of the Candy from a Stranger stories – these will be posted on A Whispered Wind
- I began a series of stories earlier this year called Killer Tales and I want to write more of them – these will be posted on A Whispered Wind
- I want to work on some Flash Fiction this year, some time during the summer months
- Poetry – I want to write 100 new poems for publication. These will not be posted on any of my blogs
- I’ve been working on a project with a friend about Bobby Kennedy, so I will continue my research on that – none of that will be posted on any of my blogs.
This seems like a lot of projects, but spaced out over a year, that really isn’t a very big to-do list. As I decide which months to do which projects, I will update this list of Happenings.
Promptly Written 
It’s good you schedule. I ended up writing 405 short stories in one year. This year 2 long books in one month. Now onto another book. Writing can be an addiction for me its so much fun. And is good for you!
Wow, that’s a lot of stories and two books!… not sure how many I will finish by the end of the year… have plans for something each month though. And yes, it is an addiction 🙂
Yea its like an impulse thing if I got ideas for a book or story I get of my butt write it or save ideas. I will write more horror books. I love horror. Well you are well planned. I came up with the ending for my book you will love it when I finish it. Perfect ending.
I get like that too… I have two randy little muses who are always chattering away in my head… they are pests and will keep after me until I sit down and write.
I am looking forward to your ending… intriguing mind.. ya know 😀
I have muses too Rita B, Paris, AnnMarie a lot of my friends appear in the stories. Rita B has appeared in the majority of my 860 stories. She is a long time friend twenty eight years.
Oh wow.. that is great that they are friends and muses and you put them in your stories… Catharine and Evelyn show up in my poetry sometimes 🙂
Cool we have that in common. I think its a special thing to write something for someone. How many times in your life does a person write you a song or story. I wrote my friend Samantha a book named after her ‘Samantha Adams’ she loved it. I also did that for another friend too.
That is cool 🙂 well, Catharine and Evelyn only exist in my mind, though I see them very clearly and I do talk to them… I do write poetry every week for a friend and long ago, I wrote a whole book of poetry for a guy I was seeing at the time. But I do agree.. it is a special thing to do for another person 🙂
I tell you a crazy story I have a girl that only exists in my mind too. I had a dream I married her while we meeting on this awesome musical play we were both in. I played in real life a retired actor young who has been working as a dustman and my friend gets me to return to the acting musical to act with Bella. I call her Bella she looks a little Goth deff Italian. I wrote Bella stories for a while I may go back to it.
Oh cool! I will look forward to her stories if you decide to go back and write them 🙂
Right now I am back in a Rita B writing mode. Before I was doing many with my friend Paris. I took a break to go back to the face of my franchise in Rita,
Awesome! It’s good to switch back and forth sometimes. You could get in a rut otherwise 😀
Yea true its funny Rita B and Paris are very similiar. Very kind and nice. Women of grace and very classy.
Ah! Beautiful 🙂 it must be so easy to write about them then 🙂
Yea those are always going to be great stories. Rita, Paris and Sammi are my great friends who get the big parts in ‘Freddy vs Jason 2’ I have done a good job in this book making everyone one equally important in their roles. It’s an exciting story.
I love to hear writers excited about their work 🙂 that’s when you know they still enjoy inventing stories and don’t consider it a “job”
Yea plus I know a lot of fans of those series will love it. It could get a popular following on here. This is really living the dream doing this book.
Hopefully you can tap into more of those fans and definitely make an impact 🙂
Yea hard to locate them on wordpress. I’ve only got a couple readers.
Hopefully word will get around. Do you post on FB and Twitter? those might help too.. especially on Twitter using these tags: #horror #horrorwriters #amwritinghorror
I’ve gotten a lot of new readers as a result of those tags
Yea I posted on fb first before my sister created wordpress for me to share writing. Don’t have twitter.
