This might be a writing slump. Last week I got sucked into Dreamkeeper (book 3 of the Dreamcatcher series) but… I’m really just rereading a story I love because this book shares so much about Lincoln. My editing here is not a big investment because my writing group has only just begun to critique it, […]

Is better than nothing. I did some editing on Red Hour but I need to do more focused work on it and still need to edit the last few chapters of Dreamweaver. My writing group has started critiquing Dreamkeeper (Dreamcatcher book 3) and it is really fun to see them work their way through this […]

A new normal. I’m jumping into editing Red Hour and hoping for some beta readers for Shadow Walker. The canine writing assistant and I have been taking long walks in the neighborhood while I listen to audiobooks. Youngling has gotten into nature photography this past year and over the past several weeks, we have gone […]

And reenergizing as I wake. My writing group is currently reading the final chapters of Dreamweaver, book two of the Dreamcatcher series. As I began to prep for the next critique meeting, I decided to read to the end of the book to catch any last-minute edits and prep all the final chapters for submission, […]

To editing. I finished Shadow Walker! I’m so proud that my first dual-POV novel is complete. This wolf and witch tale was a stretch of my writing habits and skills as I outlined more than usual to keep an eye on the balance of perspectives while creating this new world and magic system. After I […]

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. I’ve accomplished multiple general ‘adulting’ to dos so far this […]

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 […]

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 […]
