I've been deep in the revision trenches this last week and as a result have been completely unable to come up with a blog topic. So, I took to Twitter and asked for a topic. Honestly, I didn't think I'd get a response but I was happy to be wrong. Chris Williams asked how about… Continue reading Just Writing Things – 7 – #amwriting thoughts on making writing a career

#WIPWednesday Writing update: Rough draft complete!
It took 3 fewer weeks than I planned and about 13K fewer words but it doesn't matter because I reached the end of my WIP! The rough draft, that is. 😉 Remember, this is really rough. There are so many placeholders. There's an entire sequence that will most likely consist of multiple scenes that is… Continue reading #WIPWednesday Writing update: Rough draft complete!
Ahhh!!! #Bookhaul
I love Walton's The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender and been wanting to pick this one up for awhile!

Writing: Monthly Update for September
What's this? A timely update?! I know, I can't believe it either. Querying: From Stars, Come Dragons: I'm officially taking this one off the table.

Current Novel… Continue reading Writing: Monthly Update for September

#KissOfSeptember – Day 25 – Mission accomplished… Kind of
This has been one of the greatest experiences. I feel like I made some really good memories with my reading buddies and all of you. Which is why I'm sad to have to abandon the buddy read a few days early. If you didn't see my last monthly update, I read Dance of Thieves last… Continue reading #KissOfSeptember – Day 25 – Mission accomplished… Kind of

I'm so bad at sharing. I constantly think about wanting to share my thoughts or quotes from my WIPs or collages I've made from the pictures I've collected on Pinterest or any number of other things. But as soon as it comes time to actually make the decision to share it, 99% of the time,… Continue reading Just Writing Things – 4
