Coming soon – A new serial novel!

My magical and wonderful readers, instead of the usual reflection fare I post on Thursday mornings, I give you an introduction to my newest serial novel, set to debut in June. Several years ago, I wrote a novel for the now defunct National Novel Writing Month. It was the first time I ever attempted NaNoWriMo […]

It’s the end of another year

It’s the time of year where everyone shares their accomplishments for the year. And while this post will be no different in that regards, there is also a bit of reflection as well. I had several author and writing related goals I had jotted upon a piece of paper at the beginning of this year: And […]

NaNoWriMo 2023

If you follow me over on any of my social medias (i.e. Instagram, Facebook, and Threads), you’d know I am participating in NaNoWriMo again this month. For those of you who DON’T know what NaNoWriMo is, there is a wonderful and informative podcast on the subject if you click here. Full disclaimer though – the […]

Limbo

Sometimes in my writing, I feel like I am in a sort of limbo stage. I ask myself, now what? And as usual, it comes about this time of the year, when I should be excited about the holiday season. After all, NaNoWriMo has been completed for another year by yours truly. I did win, […]

Sample from my #NaNoWriMo

So some of you are aware that I am participating in National Novel Writing Month again this year. I am working on an urban fantasy story currently called The Magician, though that name is just a placeholder at the moment. I can’t come up with a better name yet. (edit here in June 2023 – […]

National Novel Writing Month

As if I didn’t have enough on my plate as it was – after all, I am in the middle of getting editing on Luna, writing two more novellas for the Portals Series, and working hard at keeping my page view streak going on a few things while working a full time job and having […]

Mornings

Mornings are one of my favorite times to write. Though my recent #NaNoWriMo2021 stats might say otherwise since I updated more often at night, I tend to enjoy doing a great deal of writing in the morning, especially on my days off. The hubby and I currently live in a smallish apartment and the windows […]

One year ago…..

In the past three months, I have written 2 novels (yes, I am seriously done with the first draft of the last book in my Portals Series already…. ), heavily edited four novellas for the series, published three of them, wrote several blog posts on this blog, finally finished research for my history blog, and […]

Writing and more writing

I write. It’s what I do. So I often compose wonderful sentences in my mind that my fingers furiously try to keep track of when I am either handwriting them down, or when I am sitting at my computer. The words flow out, creating a lyrical jumble of words. But sometimes, I write words that […]

NaNoWriMo2021 Update

It’s already almost halfway through November and what a wild ride this has been already! I wanted to give my wonderful readers an update on my National Novel Writing Month 2021 challenge. I have been faithfully writing every single day this month thus far (sometimes more than once a day too!) and have hit over […]
