Currently, I'm working on three different works in process. I have more that I haven't touched in a while, but these three I'm actively working on. Two are in revision and one I am writing. I've been trying to shuffle my time to work on all three. It hasn't been easy, and I'm afraid I'm not doing too well.
On one of the wips, I'm working with a mentor. I havne't sent her my latest chapter to critique, and I really need to get it to her. Luckily for me, but not her, her computer has been in the shop so she hasn't had a lot of time either. But, I know I need to get it to her soon.
On the second one, I'm writing a story to go in an anthology. It has been really fun, and I was excited to be asked to join in. It makes you feel good to know that someone thinks your writing is good enough to invite you to join them. This one I'm still writing, and the deadline is looming closer each day. I should have plenty of time to finish it, but lately I havne't been doing so well with my writing. It's been like pulling teeth to get the words out. In fact, I was working on it last night and had to give up on a scene and start a different one because I was getting no where. As long as I remember to go back and finish that one, I'll be alright. :D
The third one is a story I'm trying to get ready to sub. I've sent it out to three different people to read for me. It's nearly ready, but I need to rework the beginning a little bit before it's ready to go. Hopefully, that won't be too involved of a rewrite. Fingers crossed!
Right now, it feels like I'm chasing my tail. I work on one for a bit, then try to work on another. I'm not very good with schedules, so I don't think it would help me to try to stick to one. At least, I'm keeping my pace, slow but steady.
What do you do to manage your time? Do you write/work on more than one wip at a time? I'd love to hear what you do for time management. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
About Us
We are the authors Sierra Wolfe, Tierney O'Malley, Wendy Ely, Alisha Paige, Mark Alders, Kate Davison, and Gracen Miller. Welcome to our blog. We hope to entertain and inform you. This is where we will share our writing journeys and life experiences, and maybe, share a bit of wisdom we pick up along the way. We hope you enjoy it!
About Gracen
Gracen is a hopeless daydreamer masquerading as a "normal" person in southern society. When not writing, she's a full-time basketball/football/guitar mom for her two sons and a devoted wife to her real-life hero-husband. She's addicted to writing, paranormal romance novels and movies, Alabama football and coffee…addictions are not necessarily in order of priority. She is convinced coffee is nectar from the gods and blending coffee and writing together generates the perfect creative merger. Many of her creative worlds are spawned from coffee highs. To learn more about Gracen or to leave her a comment, visit her website at www.gracenmiller.com.

About Kate
I like to read and write just about anything. But I am a sucker for a Happily-Ever-After. I need to know characters ride off into the sunset and all is right in their world. That's why I chose romance instead of another category. HEA's aren't always promised in other genres, though I do read them too.
Most of the time you'll find me at the keyboard, moving between the 5 projects I tackle at a time.

About Alisha
I write paranormal, magic realism, fantasy, erotic and vintage romance. I live in a haunted house built in the 50s and love to drink red wine and eat dark chocolate while sitting in the swing out back. I love to watch my children play in the sandbox while my dogs wrestle on the grass. Does life get any better? It's the simple things in life I cherish.

About Wendy
Writing is an adventure I started at a young age but never took it serious until last year. My focus is on contemporary romance and have two books coming out later this year. Besides writing, I run a childcare, attend college, and am a single mom. Life isn't boring for me!

About Tierney
Hi! My name is Tierney O'Malley, contemporary and paranormal romance author from the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

I'm excited to join this blog and hope to share you fun and meaningful posts. :D Click here or go to my website http://tierneyomalley.com to learn more about my books or contact me.

About Mark
My name is Mark Alders. I live in a house. This house has a street in front of it which is a good thing because if it didn't I wouldn't be able to drive down to the shop and purchase the chocolate I need on a daily basis *giggle* Seriously, I am a mild mannered post office worker by day and an erotic romance writer (mainly male/male) at night. Not much else to say other than, like everyone else, I have bills to pay, a mortgage and family that I love and drive me crazy all at the same time. Oh, and I have a dog, too! See? Average Joe...execpet when I get down and write...then I let my imagination go to places I never knew existed and my characters invade my mind.
About Sierra
I have an Associates Degree in Nursing and work as a traveling nurse. Although, I miss my family and friends back in Missouri, I enjoy meeting new people and love to travel. Of course, I wouldn’t go anywhere without my wonderful daughter and two rotten dogs. Writing has always been a part of my life, but for many years, I thought it was only a hobby. Finally learning that I couldn’t live without writing my beloved stories, I decided to see where it would take me. Who knows where my next adventure will be? Either in nursing or writing, I will continue to look for new and fun places to explore.

Sierra,
When it comes to time management I really suck. I wish I know how to do this. Life would be easier. LOL
Although working on one ms for a bit then work on another is not a bad time management--for me. There are times when I feel "hot" about writing my third ms and sometimes the second. When that "hot" feeling taps me I just write. I don't go by whatever ms is the first. Most of the time I have two to three mss open. Am I rambling? Yes. LOL I blame my allergies.
I do this too, jump from one to another. Sometimes I have to if I feel I've lost "that loving feeling" for a certain manuscript!
Hopefully it'll pass and you'll be able to knock one of them out of the park soon.
Good luck!
Thanks for the comments! I appreciate the input.
