Winter break is almost here…

And I’m giving myself one too. Soon my kiddos will be on school break but we don’t have many plans for those two weeks. Family time, holiday movies, rest, and long walks with the pup will likely fill our days. While I will likely pull out my laptop during those two weeks just for funsies, […]

Balancing two projects…

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 […]
