In both reading and writing. Middle school started and we are all up a lot earlier than we used to be. I’m being very good about doing my physical therapy (to stay strong after an injury last fall), yoga, and walking the dog each day. I’ve accomplished multiple general ‘adulting’ to dos so far this […]

To return to creativity. I finished my quick review/edit of the Dreamcatcher series and it’s time to get creative again. I have a few scenes from last April with new characters in a new world. It’s a bit witchy and werewolfy and I’m hoping it will be great fun to plot and write. I’ve realized […]

Stopped my progress. Last month, I successfully swept through Dreamcatcher and Dreamweaver, and dove into Dreamkeeper. I’m still only making minor edits, checking how the 4-book series flows and reminding myself of the ultimate endgame of this story since my writing group will soon start to critique book two. Unfortunately, 2025 already hit my family […]

As strong as possible. Red Hour is in the hands of three beta readers and I’m so excited! I reread it before I sent it off to add some specific questions at the end, and was glad to see that I still really love this story. I’m looking forward to the improvements I can make […]
