Despite summer distractions! I’m writing new scenes for a book I actually want to publish someday instead of just random things. I’m so happy to be productive again. While youngling was at morning nature camp, I got a little me time in and opened up Red Hour. I started from the beginning, making minor edits, […]

Is healthy! It’s time again to leave the laptop at home and take a break from my writing goals. It’s been a busy year of volunteering at youngling’s school, reading/reviewing, editing/writing, and taking care of my home and family. School is out (yes!) and I’m currently enjoying a little time away from the keys and […]

Not too shabby. Bonds of Magic series: I have 3 more chapters of Land of Monsters (sequel to Seeds of Power) to submit to writing group and then I’ll finish any edits that come up. I finalized my query letter and synopsis for Seeds of Power ahead of schedule. I have not sent a query […]

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. After I finished my edits last month, there was still a section toward the end I wasn’t completely happy with. So there I was, preparing the next chapter for submission and writing […]

And excitement! It’s been two years since my first blog post about my writing journey. Sure, my goals have fluctuated—at times I’ve taken leaps forward and at other times I’ve been stuck in the mire. But after reflecting on the past two years, I am proud of my overall progress. With the help of my […]

Distracts me. Yes, I have been writing a little each day or several times a week. But it’s random scenes and characters that I want to get out of my brain. It is not related to any of my writing/editing goals. It’s not Red Hour, which I really want to get back to but I […]

Can be tricky. I’ve read the writing advice: it’s important to read books in the genre you write in (and outside of it). 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 […]

Finalize query letter and synopsis for Seeds of Power by end of March. Send first query letter for […]
