Not too shabby. Bonds of Magic series: Dreamcatcher series: Red Hour: Other: Wish me luck that I make more progress this summer and fall on my 2023 goals!

So it’s time to refocus on my health goals. It was 80s and then it snowed on my pretty flowers and now it’s warm again. Welcome to the Midwest in spring! Thankfully, I’ve been walking outside again instead of on the treadmill in the basement. I get bored on a treadmill and quit earlier than […]

Can help my creativity. I was really excited to jump into edits of Dreamweaver (book no2 of 4 of my Dreamcatcher series) but… I lost some steam. So I opened up Red Hour and wrote a few scenes I had skipped over when I originally drafted it. You know, that one action scene in the […]

I almost always have to rewrite the beginning once I’ve refined the ending. But I control the story. It doesn’t control me. So […]

Every. single. time. My husband hasn’t read a published book in a year. He’s too busy reading my drafts—and, you know, working, biking, doing things he loves. I try not to ask him more than once a week: “What chapter are you on?” I try. I do. But I devour books in a matter of […]

The flip side of sharing my work was reading the work of others. Connecting personally with writers (in my genre and outside of it) and positively critiquing their work gave me another leap forward in my writing journey. In addition to reading published works, I improved my writing skills by consuming and discussing the unpublished […]

I’m not ready. Is it good enough? What if they hate it? Putting your work in front of other people can be scary.
