So it’s time to reset my mental health. I’m walking outside more instead of on the treadmill. With winter cold behind me, I can enjoy the benefits of the outdoors. (When it’s not raining.) The fresh air rejuvenates my spirit and gets more creative ideas flowing. I’m writing some random short scenes that will never […]

I’m kind of on track! What I’ve done during the first three months of the year: BONDS OF MAGIC series: I did my last round of edits on SEEDS OF POWER! I’m consistently submitting LAND OF MONSTERS (the fully drafted sequel to SoP) to my writing group. I’m late but actively working on my agent […]

And when to decline. Book mail is awesome, but I don’t accept every offer. Nearly a year ago, I launched this website and my social media accounts.

And thanks for all the fish books. This year has been amazing. I stepped out into the digital world as a writer, made amazing connections, and read a ton of awesome books.

Of my writing life. I skimmed through my blog posts this week and realized that my emotional journey has been a running theme here as well as writing tips and updates on my projects. In this post, I’m going to add some more emotions to my collection as I continue to reflect on 2021 and […]

And shove it in a virtual drawer. I finished the big edits for SEEDS OF POWER but have to do another sweep for some minor changes and a continuity check. I have to read slowly, think about a few more possible changes, and then prep the document for one last beta round with some volunteer […]

Means you’re more likely to meet them. It can be difficult to know when to push yourself to meet a goal and when to adjust it. 2021 is winding down and I’m looking back on my year and doing a progress check. My main New Year’s resolution was to publicly step into the world as […]
