It's about time I officially announce that next month I will publish my first book under my pen name, Anastasia Austin! (Did you notice the new menu link above?) I mentioned self publishing in my February writing update but didn't go into much detail. Now, it's time for more detail!

Writing: Monthly Update for February
February was a great month for words! Querying: Rejected again but asked to resubmit in another 4-6 months. Need to work on deepening POV and show don't tell. Fortunately, the editor from whom I received this feedback gave me some great materials and advice to help with this. Current Novel WIPs: THE GODWING WAGER… Continue reading Writing: Monthly Update for February

Embracing my love of romance. I mean... that pretty much says it all. All my favorite books center around romance. And after getting some awesome recommendations from my friend and writing cohort, Bree @ PerpetualFangirl, I've completely given into my love of the genre. I even started writing a new adult contemporary romance. No fantasy… Continue reading Just Writing Things – 13

So many thoughts. Not sure if I should share them. I want to. Of course but it seems every time I give an update about what I'm doing or what my goals are, the next second they change and the update becomes obsolete. A question just sprung out of this... How do I marry being… Continue reading Just Writing Things – 12
Writing: Monthly Update for January
I think I've accomplished a decent amount already this year. 2019 is shaping up to be a good one. Querying: Resubmitted to an editor at a press and to 3 other agents because why not? I needed this.

Writing: Monthly Update for December
Did 2018 fly by for anyone else? All year it felt like it was moving way faster than it should have. Querying: Still no change but I'm getting closer. On the first, I finished the last BIG revision of A PRELUDE OF DRAGONS. Next up, line edits. I'll read through the whole manuscript and focus… Continue reading Writing: Monthly Update for December

Writing: Monthly Update for November
Boy, am I glad November's over. Querying: Nothing has changed here. And it's probably going to be longer than I thought before I'm able to jump back in. Current Novel WIPs: THE GODWING WAGER - So, apparently saying I'm not going to work on something is a good way for me to get inspired to… Continue reading Writing: Monthly Update for November
