In the past week, I’ve been able to write about 5,500 words. That’s a big improvement considering I didn’t write for two weeks, and I’m slowly getting back into the groove. Hopefully, I can eventually get back on track, but it’s going to take awhile. The grief still comes in waves, and sometimes the thought […]

So as you may know, I recently had a death in the family, and it’s hitting me hard. I didn’t really expect it, and we were really close. I was the first one in the family to find out, and thankfully I had my dad help me in making some of the phone calls

For the next week or two, I won’t be as active on social media other than stuff relating to giveaways and what not. One of my relatives that I was really close to passed away yesterday, and I need some time to process and handle things. Sorry in advance for any radio silence.

After I wrote yesterday’s post about Days 1-3, I went on to finish 5,000 words for my anthology story. It took me longer to finish than normal. I was struggling a bit with conflict since I couldn’t find one that felt genuine. I planned on going back through it today to add some more fluffier

I planned on spending my entire week writing for various projects, and except for Monday, I’ve been doing pretty well. I’ve been wrestling with allergies and a cold for the past few weeks, so it’s been a slow process. On Monday, I created a little project to help draw in more readers. I mentioned it

I have a 20,000 word story to write this week about lesbians, and I am determined to get it done! I was hoping not to get an invitation to any festivities because I want to be a hermit this week, but I got an invitation from my grandmother and from a friend. My original goal

This past weekend I finished the first draft of Book 4 of the Can This Be Real series and started on Book 5. I also got some feedback from an editor, Christina Rose Andrews (they’re amazing) from an anthology I’m working on, and holy shit, it changed my whole perspective. I’ve been in a writing

I was at a writer’s conference in another state for these past few days. I had a lot fun, did some networking (who knew an introvert like me could be so social), and I learned a lot from the guest speakers and hosts of the event. Now I just need time to create a plan
