Um, there’s not much to say. Summer ended, the kids went back to school, and the next day my husband was hit by a car while bicycling (see more at the bottom), so there has been little to no writing accomplished this past month. We were living day to day, moment to moment for a […]

or get back to work? So far this summer season, I’ve read a lot, had some pool and zoo time, and took a fun girls’ trip to Savannah, Georgia, but I haven’t gotten much work done in terms of writing goals. A few queries have gone out, I’ve dipped into Red Hour a bit, but […]

Is just as important as writing. Right now, I need to take some time to brainstorm and daydream about the final chapters of Red Hour. I’m so close but not getting over that finish line. I wrote the ending a year ago, but there is a gap before those final scenes. I need to fill […]

Welcome summer! Another change of season and routine is upon us. Summer break started last week for my high schooler and kicks off in two days for my fifth grader. This spring has been very busy for me and a bit frustrating on the writing front. I’m proud of my completion of major edits to […]

In ARCs. Last month, I took a break from reviewing Advance Reader Copies and gifted books from authors/publishers so that I could focus on my personal reading goals. I grabbed a big library haul of anticipated reads and cleared out a couple old nonfiction books I’d had on my shelf for a while. It was […]

Last month, I finished major rewrites for my 4-book adult fantasy series, Dreamcatcher, and while I am still submitting chapters of book one to my writing group and making small edits, I have spent most of this month working on Red Hour. This new adult standalone fantasy novel—dare I call […]

And shift gears. Hurrah! I did it! I went through the entire four-book Dreamcatcher series and mapped out the chapters—what happens, what is accomplished for the whole story or for character development, log wordcount and break up long chapters, etc. I smoothed things out and edited small things here and there. When I got to […]

Has crossed the rainbow bridge. My dearest Scooch passed away on March 2nd. Below (left) is a photo of him from his last morning with us. While the grief is not as raw now, the house feels very different, an emptiness lingering. Our time as a two-dog household was shorter than we had imagined. Scooch […]

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 […]
