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 […]

No one else will be. I rewrite the first chapters of my books more than any other part of the story. I don’t write outlines before I start writing a new story. I typically have an idea and just go with it, then along the way the plot and character development get figured out and […]

If I’m asking, the answer is likely YES! My writers’ group is still beta reading the last several chapters of Land of Monsters.

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 […]

And thanks for all the fish, I mean growth. This year has been incredible. I grew as a writer thanks to my amazing critique group and new author connections. I’ve been posting almost daily on bookstagram and I’m having so much fun with that community—I even caved and made a couple reels! I read a […]

Should last throughout the year. I try to approach each day with a spirit of gratitude and thanksgiving. Do I always meet that goal? Heck no! But I try. I absolutely say “thank you” dozens of times a day to everyone I come across no matter how big or small their action was. I want […]
