Can spark creativity. Thankfully, I have been able to sustain my writing habits and I finished restructuring Dreamkeeper (Dreamcatcher book 3). Yay! I’m going to put it away for several months, so that when I read it again, I will have fresh perspective. This draft works much better than the last one, but I’m not […]

Makes me determined to sustain it. I’ve been actively restructuring Dreamkeeper (book no3 in the Dreamcatcher series) to make sure the fantasy plot is progressing at a good pace alongside the family drama plot. I’m not sure I’m there yet, but this draft is a huge improvement over the last one, where the family drama […]

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 […]

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 […]

And thanks for the highs and lows. First of all, Merry Christmas to those who celebrate and Happy Holidays to all! As I approach 2024, it’s time to look back at my goals for 2023 and… well, it’s had some ups and downs. I continued to grow as a writer thanks to my awesome critique […]

I’m feeling pretty good! Bonds of Magic series: I am currently querying Seeds of Power along with a mention that the sequel, Land of Monsters, is also available upon request. Book three is still a vague idea in my head, no outlined plot and nothing drafted yet. I hope to tackle it in 2024. Dreamcatcher […]

Despite summer distractions! I’m writing new scenes for a book I actually want to publish someday instead of just random things. I’m so happy to be productive again. While youngling was at morning nature camp, I got a little me time in and opened up Red Hour. I started from the beginning, making minor edits, […]

Is healthy! It’s time again to leave the laptop at home and take a break from my writing goals. 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 […]

Not too shabby. Bonds of Magic series: I have 3 more chapters of Land of Monsters (sequel to Seeds of Power) to submit to writing group and then I’ll finish any edits that come up. I finalized my query letter and synopsis for Seeds of Power ahead of schedule. I have not sent a query […]
