Hello everybody! I’m excited to say that I’ve finally finished the first draft of my unnamed paranormal romance! However… it is far from done. As you may know, I’ve struggled with this story and recently I finally realized why: I chose the wrong main character. When I started, I thought I was writing a romance,… Read More

Hello again everyone! This month I slowly chipped away at my supernatural romance, hitting 25.8k today. I only have a few more chapters left, but I am fairly certain I will be adding several chapters to draft 2. I considered going back and adding them now, but I wanted to try this method to keep… Read More

Sorry I’m late this month! I went on vacation and yesterday was the first day of school, so I didn’t have time to write a post. Honestly, though, there’s not a lot to report for the last month. I’m still writing that unnamed paranormal romance novel–it’s currently at ~10k words. I’m pretty surprised how fast… Read More

July was another slow month, but things are moving along. I’m preparing a query package for One With Dragons, though I still haven’t decided if I will submit Godstones to a few publishers who do not require agents before sending OWD queries.

While it is over the original desired word count by a few hundred, the anthology’s chief editor is allowing it due to several people withdrawing! I likely could cut enough to make it… 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

Monthly Writing Update
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
