Calissa Leigh Writes

Chocolate milk. Corn bread in the oven. It’s 10 minutes until 11 PM.
And I have an urge to write romance novels. What’s with that?
 I think tomorrow I’ll be editing manuscripts. That’s my job for the next two weeks, outside of my regular work.
 Maybe it’s the sugar from the chocolate milk talking, but yeah. Watch this, tomorrow I’ll […]

Okay. I messed up. Sort of.
I got the urge to query this morning, so I’m browsing through online business magazines looking for an idea. I get one, I hobble over to find an email address and use my open email window to write the idea out.
Fleshing it out. Fleshing it out. Okay got it. Now […]

Oh my. My father has work for me, circit boards. Holy cow. His business is taking off and he doesn’t have time to make them himself. My brother helps out but he’s not able to keep up.
So I told them to mail me out some supplies and I can probably figure it out. I grew […]

I have two days to write a 1000 word article for businesses. I hate not having enough time to really feel comfortable with it, maybe get someone else to look it over. Okay so I’m procrastinating by not writing it right now. That’s not going to make it any better. My mind is buzzed. I […]

I don’t feel comfortable writing anymore.
I used to think I was hot cheese and would write epics and everything is perfect.  Not really, I didn’t think that but it was fun to think about. I used to feel proud of it all.
Now I’m reluctant to get started, because I know some editor somewhere will hack […]

My schedule is way, way off. I’ ve got slight ADD so schedules are very important. I have to have some sort of plan or I end up doing things I’m not supposed to and nothing gets done.
And now I have new things to do. I’m doing edits on a novel, I have Japanese lessons. […]

I so had a thought just now about something to blog about. I take two seconds to do something else and come back to my open screen. I lost it. >.> Erm.
Hi.

If you’re struggling to get some work, try your local newspaper. I avoided them for the longest time, thinking I needed a degree in Journalism before they would bother with me. I was wrong.
 I write for my local now. I’m considering getting in touch with another local just to get more work. I […]

I don’t read my reviews. I can’t. I’ll read emails from people who write to me about my writing, but the reviews are another thing. I know a few other writers who feel the same way, they won’t read reviews at all. I’ve written book reviews, and I always try to say some kind words […]

I’m trying to urge some interviewees to email me answers to questions. I have a cold so I sound like a dope head.
So I sent a letter off to the secretary asking her to give them a little nudge… and I forgot to spell check my little letter. Argh. I usually run it through Word […]
