Hello, lovelies! How have you been?April was a pretty busy month for me. Camp Nanowrimo effectively kicked my ass. Out of my 50,000-word count goal, I managed just under 10,000 words. Still, progress is progress, and I'm incredibly happy with what I have written. (And obviously, I'm still working on it.) I did read more … Continue reading April 30, 2020

The story is really starting to take shape on it's own and it's better than I could've ever imagined.

Chapter seven of Black Magnolias has been a struggle to write. There's so much that needs to go into it. So much emotion, so much detail, but I think I'm figuring it out. It's turning out to be a longer chapter. The official word count as of today is 22,837. Admittedly, I've not made this … Continue reading Feb. 1, 2019
