Stopped my progress. Last month, I successfully swept through Dreamcatcher and Dreamweaver, and dove into Dreamkeeper. I’m still only making minor edits, checking how the 4-book series flows and reminding myself of the ultimate endgame of this story since my writing group will soon start to critique book two. Unfortunately, 2025 already hit my family […]

And thanks for the perspective. Merry almost Christmas to those who celebrate and Happy Holidays to all! 2025 is almost here, and it’s time to look back at my goals for 2024. My writing group continues to challenge me to improve and I’m so grateful. They are almost done reading book one of the Dreamcatcher […]

And thankfully a community endeavor as well. My writing group and early readers are awesome. When I am stuck on a project and can’t see a way through, I put it in their hands with questions typed up at the end and wait. And wait and wait. But as I mentioned in my post Appreciate […]

And it’s making me anxious and sad. This spring I submitted draft five or six (I’ve lost count) of my first book to a few friends who had never seen it before and to my writing group. After I slashed words in that book by the thousands (see my post If you think there is […]

I’m not ready. Is it good enough? What if they hate it? Putting your work in front of other people can be scary. Even thinking about letting others read your book can make you want to run screaming or hide under the bed. (Hopefully you don’t hold it tightly while murmuring my precious…) Being nervous […]
