2025 Recap Happy Belated New Year! Boy, do I have some stuff to share… So much has happened since my last post and, unfortunately, much of it was not pleasant. I achieved very little of what I set out to do in 2025 in regards to my book, but that’s not to say that I had no victories at all.…
I'm a little late in sharing my goals for the new year but I'm happy to say that I finally completed my long needed website revamp at the end of January! I had started working on a more cohesive look for the site back in October in between my writing time and other responsibilities, and I was close to having it all done at the end of 2024, but our household came down with one of those bugs that hangs around for weeks and my progress slowed to a crawl.
Goals for Q4 of 2024 Hello, Reader! Hey, y’all! I’ve been away for a long time, so here’s an update on how things have been going behind the scenes for the last couple of years, along with my list of goals for Q4 of 2024. The last year was incredibly difficult and busy for me and I had to set…
Finishing Developmental Edits During Camp Nano I had a single goal for the month of April. After years of restructuring my story, and months of suffering writer’s block, I was determined to finally finish developmental edits for my book. Between figuring out certain health issues (and removing stress factors) and random, but numerous life emergencies, I had fallen far behind…
A Long Overdue Update Well, it’s been a LONG time since my last post and I’ve got a lot to catch you up on. First of all, I’m sorry for not sharing anything yet this year. October snuck up on me and I still feel like it should be February. I’ve had a lot going on at home and this…
Camp Nano + Updates I won Camp Nano! Kinda… April did NOT go as planned (When does it ever?) due to quarantine homeschooling. Teachers, parents, and students were kept busy working out an entirely new system of education and, naturally, there was a learning curve. I barely wrote anything for a couple of weeks because I was focused on helping…
2020 Vision Who else is excited that we’re not only starting a new year, but also a new decade? The 2010s definitely taught me a lot, but I feel like they were more about laying the foundation for my future and 2020 is where it all starts coming together. I made significant progress toward my goals over the last year,…
Starting the Editing Process I’m two weeks into editing my first draft and I can definitively say that I prefer editing to drafting. It feels a hundred times easier to work with something already written than to try to make something appear on a blank page. That being said, there have still been some places where I’ve had to write…
I Finished My First Draft! After nearly 17 years of lost manuscripts, and another full year of dedicated writing, I can finally say that I have a finished first draft of my novel! I ended at 97,363 words, and typing “The End” left my body literally shaking! I had no idea the weight that would lift off my shoulders when…
My Goals for 2019 How are we already a month into 2019?! December flew by faster than I would have thought possible and now January is almost over! I’ve been busy planning out my year, breaking down my goals into manageable tasks, and building habits in preparation for everything that I need to do. I may have added more to…
NaNoWriMo 2018 It’s December, which means that NaNoWriMo is over! (Two weeks ago by now but, hey, life got a little busy.) So how did I do? Well, we had to visit the doctor for a small accident on the 1st and it took a couple days for things to get back to normal, setting my word count back a…
My 2018 Camp Nano Experience November is officially here and I am participating in NaNoWriMo for the first time. This is not to be confused with Camp Nano, which I did for the first time this summer. (And won!) In July, I set a personal goal of 30k words and nearly finished the first draft of my novel. This month,…
