Spring is dragging its feet…

But I’ll take what I can get. The weather is still fluctuating between hot and cold, but I’m taking advantage of the sunnier days and mostly warmer weather to get back into a routine of walking the canine writing assistant regularly and for longer stretches. Youngling and I have been hitting the trails at the […]

Shifting from writing…

To editing. I finished Shadow Walker! I’m so proud that my first dual-POV novel is complete. This wolf and witch tale was a stretch of my writing habits and skills as I outlined more than usual to keep an eye on the balance of perspectives while creating this new world and magic system. After I […]

Approaching a finish line…

And looking ahead. I have two chapters left to write for Shadow Walker. Two! I’m so excited that this manuscript is almost done. I know generally what happens in these two chapters and just need to sit down and write it already. I already wrote the last chapter and a short epilogue, so I just […]

Slow progress…

Is still progress! January had a slow start for me due to the dreary, cold weather, the state of the world taking up my headspace, and having a college-age kid around that I love and wanted to hang out with. After taking him back out of state to start his next semester, my frame of […]

Thoughts on point of view…

Since I’m writing a dual POV story for the first time. My writing life is back in full swing and I’m so excited by the progress I’m making on Shadow Walker. This is the first book I’m writing consistently in two POVs and it’s been a good stretch of my writing skills and planning process. […]

Balancing moods and goals…

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 […]

New Month…

New routine. June travel is over and we don’t have many plans again until August. On July 1st, I opened up my new novel about a witch and a werewolf solving a missing persons case together and I had a great time working on it a few days during the week. I’m hoping this new […]

Youngling has left elementary school behind and will start middle school. My husband opens his new veterinary practice this July, making a lifelong dream come true. I […]
