Hey everybody! This month has been fairly uneventful, except that I have started a new short story for a myth retelling anthology. I was going to submit The Truth of Winter, but since I already submitted it to another anthology (who I haven’t heard back from yet), I decided it would be prudent (and fun)… Read More
Hi everyone! I know I missed last month, but I promise, you didn’t miss much. I spent all of January simply doing some revisions on One With Dragons and then sent it back out for another round of beta reading. About halfway through February, I decided to revisit my Godstones wip and gave it another… Read More
Hey everyone! Sorry I’m a little late on this post, but I got caught up in this new short story that randomly came to me! I even forgot to post about starting it (which was on December 28th (I think)). I’m calling the idea “Princess in a Tower Retelling”, and without giving too much away,… Read More
Hello, everyone! I’m excited to share that my Dragon WIP is finally being sent off to the first round of beta readers! If you’re wondering how beta reading works, basically it’s looking for any plot or character improvements. You’d be surprised how often a plot hole is staring a writer in the face, but it… Read More
Hi everyone! I’m excited to say that yesterday evening I finished revisions for draft 2 of my Dragon WIP. This draft ended up just under 100k words thanks to two new chapters and some additional exposition. So, what’s next? I’m moving on to edits! During this process, I mostly check grammar and sentence structure, but… Read More
Hello everyone! I know I’ve been quiet, but that’s because I’ve been staying busy with revisions on my Dragon WIP (which I still haven’t even thought of a temporary title for, but you will be the first to know when I do, lol). For anyone wondering how I usually do these revisions, I open Draft… Read More
Hey guys! So, I wasn’t planning on beginning revisions for this Dragon WIP yet, but I couldn’t help myself, lol. I was reading Clash of Kings to distract myself but only made it 60% through before I got the itch to write again. While my WIP doesn’t have much in common with GRR Martin’s Song… Read More
Yesterday, I wrapped up my first draft of my Dragon WIP at just over 90k words. That’s right, I’ve finally finished it! After a quick run through spellcheck and Grammarly, I am letting this draft sit for a little while before I begin the second draft. I’m not sure how long I will let it… Read More
Hello again everybody! It seems like this last month went by so slow… Well, at least to me. But that is most likely because of how much trouble I had getting words on the page. As you may recall, I had hoped to wrap up my WIP by the end of September. Sadly, I did… Read More
Hey guys, it’s time again for my monthly update! This month was a bit disappointing, but I’m keeping a positive attitude. So, without further ado, here are my stats. Word count at the end of July: 52,029 Word count at the end of August: 65,547 Total words added this month: 13,518 Average words per day:… Read More
