In both reading and writing. Middle school started and we are all up a lot earlier than we used to be. I’m being very good about doing my physical therapy (to stay strong after an injury last fall), yoga, and walking the dog each day.

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 […]

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, […]

Looking back, here are some thoughts now that I don’t feel like such a newb! Bookstagramming (is that verb? it should be!) and getting book mail is still […]

If I’m asking, the answer is likely YES! My writers’ group is still beta reading the last several chapters of Land of Monsters. After I finished my edits last month, there was still a section toward the end I wasn’t completely happy with. So there I was, preparing the next chapter for submission and writing […]

Can be tricky. I’ve read the writing advice: it’s important to read books in the genre you write in (and outside of it). Of course you grow through actually writing and engaging in peer review, but you can also grow by diving into the work of other writers. The imagination of others can spark new […]

If there is a good reason. During the past couple of weeks, I put a clean copy of Seeds of Power to the side and vowed not to open it again. I edited my query letter and my synopsis, but both need a little more work before I am ready to move forward. I decided […]
