Progress…

Boosts my mood. I am having a great time restructuring Dreamkeeper (book no3 in the Dreamcatcher series) and it has greatly improved my general mood. Progress can be slow, but I am enjoying the work, even if I cannot get to it every day. Fingers crossed that I continue to make strides this season and […]

Winter Blues…

Are affecting my writing goals. The Midwest was hit with snow and low temps, resulting in a couple days of remote learning for my kids. The canine writing assistants were so cold that they snuggled into me, leaving nowhere to put my laptop. Darn. I just had to read books and cuddle my pups. Rough […]

It’s been a busy year of volunteering at youngling’s school, reading/reviewing, editing/writing, and taking care of my home and family. School is out (yes!) and I’m currently enjoying a little time away from the keys and […]

Balancing two projects…

Can help my creativity. I was really excited to jump into edits of Dreamweaver (book no2 of 4 of my Dreamcatcher series) but… I lost some steam. So I opened up Red Hour and wrote a few scenes I had skipped over when I originally drafted it. You know, that one action scene in the […]

If I’m not hooked by the opening…

No one else will be. I rewrite the first chapters of my books more than any other part of the story. I don’t write outlines before I start writing a new story. I typically have an idea and just go with it, then along the way the plot and character development get figured out and […]
