I realized this week that I don’t have a nicely illustrated map of my fantasy world.

Aaaannnddd the third draft of The Warden of Everfeld: Memento is…..
Not quite complete. Surprise! Good things are on the way, however. Continue reading “Friday Write Day: Finishing Touches”
I’m very satisfied with my progress on Manuscript: Charlie this week. One of PW’s cousins made a surprise trip into town, so we spent two evenings catching up with him, which was great.
Even with that little bit of time spent away from WoEM, I revised 34,500 words this week, shy of my goal of 40,000, but still nothing to be ashamed of.

Well, well, well, nine days through NaNo and look where we are!
Can you guess? Continue reading “Friday Write-Day: Family Writing Night!”
And aside from writing, that is what has taken up my week… and the last several weeks. Continue reading “We Bought a F*ckin’ House”
I had a revelation this week. Rather, a revelation was given to me by someone else. I have devised a plan to both motivate myself towards the end of Manuscript: Beta and get a headstart on the review process with my beta readers and editor — all in one fell swoop!
