But I’m grateful all year. As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, the things I’m grateful for come readily to mind, and I’m renewing my vow to tell the people in my life how much they mean to me throughout the year. I am incredibly grateful for my husband’s love and partnership. After his accident this […]

Time to celebrate by editing it. Despite the curveballs this fall threw at my family, I am so happy to have completed a major 2024 writing goal. Red Hour is finally fully drafted. This story surprised me. Sam’s voice came through strongly, the world was grittier and the violence was a little rougher than my […]

Has returned! I reread/edited Red Hour and finally finally finally started writing a new chapter to bridge the gap to the previously written ending. After several years of wanting to finish this book but not knowing how to connect everything, I’m so excited to be close to the finish line. These new scenes may not […]

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 […]

or get back to work? So far this summer season, I’ve read a lot, had some pool and zoo time, and took a fun girls’ trip to Savannah, Georgia, but I haven’t gotten much work done in terms of writing goals. A few queries have gone out, I’ve dipped into Red Hour a bit, but […]

Is just as important as writing. Right now, I need to take some time to brainstorm and daydream about the final chapters of Red Hour. I’m so close but not getting over that finish line. I wrote the ending a year ago, but there is a gap before those final scenes. I need to fill […]

Can be exciting to explore. Last month, I finished major rewrites for my 4-book adult fantasy series, Dreamcatcher, and while I am still submitting chapters of book one to my writing group and making small edits, I have spent most of this month working on Red Hour. This new adult standalone fantasy novel—dare I call […]

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 […]

Boosts my mood. I am having a great time restructuring Dreamkeeper (book no3 in the Dreamcatcher series) and it has greatly improved my general mood. 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 […]

Are affecting my writing goals. The Midwest was hit with snow and low temps, resulting in a couple days of remote learning for my kids. 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 […]
