Book Girl Summer, New Book Release, Summer Events, and More!
There has been so much going on lately, that I haven’t really had time to write on my blog. Instead, I’ve been flitting around social media spreading the good word. If you aren’t signed up for my newsletter, you may want to consider doing that, because they are the first to receive news. The first and most important thing: Shownu read something I said in his chat out loud. I’ve died, was resurrected, then died again. I’m just a shell of a ghost typing to you now. Next item is actually in my title. My publisher has declared that it’s Book Girl Summer! What does that mean for you? Well,…

Gearing Up for NaNoWriMo
Let’s get ready to write! Last year’s National Novel Writing Month, I sailed through with no issues. I wrote one 50k novel in less than two weeks. It had been on my mind for a while. I then got 10k of another novel started, that I’ve yet to finish because, well, I’m struggling with it. I could get into that if you want me to, just ask. This year’s NaNoWriMo, I have a story to execute. It is the second story in a group of four. The first story is nearly finished, so it only made sense to continue on. If I finish it before time is up, I’ll move…

I’ve been living my best life, I hope you have too!
August has come and gone. The heat in Indiana is still oppressive, however, the mornings are cooler. It has made weekend soccer games much better at least. I realized the weather was changing this morning, and immediately sneezed so hard for so long, that I was sweating. Note to self: Pick up allergy medication ASAP (no rocky) This past weekend I was supposed to be at an event, however it got postponed. They pushed it out until next year. It’s okay though. I was feeling mighty sluggish, and didn’t really want to go anywhere. My next event is October where I will be in Monrovia, Indiana at their library’s author…

Arcs are Out in the World!
This past weekend, arc copies were sent to people. This is one of the more exciting parts of writing, and I watch the arc download page almost obsessively to see if people are downloading their copies. It’s the first time I’m able to discuss the book with someone who isn’t on my writing team. Sure, I may hint about some things in the Discord, but I can’t outright talk about stuff without spoiling it. I hope my arc readers enjoy and bring great feedback to me!

Going Through It
I’ve come back from my first convention as a writer. I will write about it a little later, as I have to get my thoughts in order. Since I’ve been back, I’ve been working on the e-commerce side of my website. It has been an absolute PAIN! I haven’t even input all the products yet. I’ve just been working on the shipping aspect. It’s taken me roughly a week to adjust everything to the way I want it. Please keep in mind that this is after I’ve dropped cash to actually get the shipping set up. Part of it is my fault, as I didn’t have all the information I…

There is a Whole Lot More to Being an Author
They didn’t tell you everything mamas. As I sit here on my blessed quiet Sunday, I am thinking of all the things that have past and that are coming. My first book was released one month an eleven days ago. There was no stopping from there, I have to keep going. You see, by the end of 2023, I will have a total of four books out. Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. As of right now, I am speaking with my publisher on where we’re supposed to go from here. I have quite a few stories, both in this world and out of it written. It is just a matter…

I Wake Up and Get to Live a Childhood Dream!
That is how this feels. I'm doing a lot of long winded things to get to the finish line, but quite frankly, I am nearly there. At the end will be this beautiful thing that I get to hold in my hands and tell everyone that I made it, I wrote it. I never thought I would be here in my life. It's to the point where I've even had a speaking gig, talking about what I did to get here. I wrote. That's all I truly did. I wrote my short behind off, and continue to do so, nearly every single day. Along with edits to this book, I…
