Writing and Life Update

Cherish these times, they said. They will be over before you know it. Well, they were right.

When I embarked upon my writing career, I had a teenager, a preschooler, and a toddler. My husband and I are now the proud parents of three adults, and the youngest just entered her third year of college. Where did the time go?

In my writing world, I’ve spent the last several months polishing the small town Christmas romance I wrote for NaNoWriMo in November 2023. It is now ready, and I’ve moved on to the querying stage.

You’ll notice a new look to my website. When I gain better WordPress skills, it will look better. One day at a time, sweet Jesus.

Hope 2024 has been good to you. Thanks for visiting!

NaNoWriMo 2023

It is possible I am crazy. I’m not a NaNoWriMo person. I’ve tried a couple of times to spend November, one of the busiest months in my world, writing a 50,000 word novel. It never works. That’s why I started participating in Picture Book Idea Month, now known as STORYSTORM. Way easier to come up with 30 picture book ideas than write 50,000 words. Yet, I decided out of the blue on Sunday that 2023 would be a NaNoWriMo year. I created a book cover and pinterest board to inspire me. The idea is coming together. Maybe I’ll burn out in a week. Who knows? Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Here’s to NaNoWriMo and all the writers out there willing to plunge right in!

Editing, writing news

Back online…Well Kind Of

In case you didn’t notice, my website has been offline for a few months. HostGator and my domain provider finally helped me figure it out, but my website no longer looks as cute as it once did. Hopefully, I can find a way to get some of it back to normal as I play around with it.

Not a ton of writing going on lately, but I’ve been editing several great manuscripts, and am in the middle of formatting a book series for another author.

I am also eagerly anticipating the release of Clever Tom by 4RV Publishing.

Until next time, hope you have a blessed day!
