Another blog post from the hotel…:) What´s up Wednesday is the brainchild of Jaime and Erin. It´s a way to keep in touch in just four headings…
What I´m reading
I am about to start BLEED LIKE ME by Christa Desir. I bought it on release day and I think I´ll be curling up with it today 🙂
What I’m Writing
ALWAYS SECOND BEST – I shared an exclusive sneak peek yesterday during ONE DREAM´S ONLY´s release day party on Facebook. It´s dual POV and I´m loving it 🙂
What else I´ve been up to
I released ONE DREAM ONLY yesterday and had a wonderful release day party on Facebook!
And as always I am amazed and grateful for everyone who’s supported me, tweeted about it, sent me emails. Really, thank you!
What works for me
Writing sprints.
I used to write in the train when I had about 30 minutes to get the words in…and it worked. So now, I try to do writing sprints on Twitter and see how many words I can get in…Maybe when we´re settled in a house, I might change my routine but for now it works…
I can’t wait to check all your posts and see what you’ve been up to 🙂
Yay for a great release day!!! I am so excited for you and hope it’s a party all week 😀
Thanks, Rachel 🙂 The rest of the week will be a writing party…I need to get words down! Hope you had a wonderful Wednesday and that the rest of your week is lovely 🙂

Congrats again on your release! Yay!
I just discovered word sprints this summer and wish I could do them every day. Seriously, I never pump out so many words as when I do those.
Thanks again so much Tonja! 🙂

Yay! So excited about your successful release day!!! And yay for word sprints! Glad you’ve found something that works for you!
Thanks, Alison 🙂 🙂 Today will be a big writing day…yes, it will (if I repeat it enough time, maybe the words will magically appear :)) Hope you had a wonderful Wednesday!

I’m happy to hear that your release day was so fun! I wanted to spend more time doing fun things on the FB page, but yesterday was super, super busy, unfortunately. BUT I have my copy of ONE DREAM ONLY, so I’m set.
I haven’t really done writing springs formally, but there have been a couple of times when Erin and I texted back and forth that we were going to work on writing for the next hour and to check in after that. That really seemed to work for me, so I might have to give the whole writing sprint another try once I get drafting again. Hope you’re having a great week and that house-hunting is going well! 😀
Thanks, Jaime 🙂 The Facebook party was definitely something I´d consider doing again, it was fun and being all day gave me some flexibility so yay! House hunting is going well, now we *just* have to get the mortgage through… Hope we´ll do some word sprints together in the near future…:)

Release day is the best, right? Such a rush, but so much love. Congrats!
Thanks! Definitely a rush and a bit surreal 🙂 Hope you had a great weekend!

Congrats on your release! You are now not only a published author, but a multi-book published author. I would say, have a great week, but I expect you already are. 🙂
Thanks, Kate 🙂 And I have to say, it still feels surreal to know that I have several books published, but definitely exciting…:) Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Hmmm… Maybe I need more train rides in my future 🙂
🙂 Train rides do really help, even though I did really get upset whenever they were late 🙂 Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Ha ha! Love that cute “note to self” snippet! I’m glad your release day went well and that it was a fun and memorable occasion for you! Hope you find time to squeeze in lots of word sprints this week! 🙂
Thank you so much, Erin! I did manage some time sprints this week, which were very helpful…hope you had a wonderful wéekend!

Big congrats on the release day! How exciting 🙂 It sounds adorable just from those two lines!
I used to be the same with train trips – my commute to uni every day meant much more time for brainstorming and notetaking. Unfortunately, the train station is a 40 minute walk from my new house, so I don’t think I’ll be commuting anywhere anytime soon!
Have a wonderful week, Elodie 🙂
Commuting really does help…even though I did get upset when the trains were late after a long day at work 🙂 Hope you had a wonderful weekend…
