That time I forgot to blog for two months

I’m not really sure what my excuse is for forgetting to blog. I got distracted with WriteOnCon, reading, my sister visiting…I don’t know. Maybe I’m just lazy. Either way, I’m here now, and this is what I’ve been up to the last two months. I finished my manuscript! At 70,840 words, the first draft of… Read More That time I forgot to blog for two months

2017 in Review

It’s been quite a year! Here’s a wrap up of what I’ve accomplished: Writing Early in the year I completed a 92,000 word YA contemporary fantasy. It needs heavy revision, so I’ll most likely attack it as a rewrite when I come back to it. Then I worked on edits for my fairytale but didn’t… Read More 2017 in Review
