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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

And I’m giving myself one too. Soon my kiddos will be on school break but we don’t have many plans for those two weeks. Family time, holiday movies, rest, and long walks with the pup will likely fill our days. While I will likely pull out my laptop during those two weeks just for funsies, […]
