Voices Change

In order to fully focus on NaNoWriMo 2022, I had to put aside a story I’d been working on haphazardly since May of the same year. It was a fun little story – one that could easily become a full book on its own, but also did well just to tell in snippets. This sort of old fashioned serialized storytelling has been a boon for me lately. It helps keep me writing when I might otherwise be stressing…

Slow & Steady

In line with my New Year’s goals and plans to keep writing a part of my life throughout the year, I made the overdue move of renewing my library card. And in doing so, I came upon a book that talked about how to be a writer while also working a full time job. This seemed incredibly relevant to all would-be writers, and it quickly. moved to the top of my stack of things to read. I won’t lie, I…

Sometimes a Step Back is the Right Direction

Sometimes a Step Back is the Right Direction

Only a short ten-ish months ago, I had multiple works in progress, I was active with social media, and I thought I was doing everything right as a would-be writer. Then it all went wrong, and I burned out on every avenue. It would take an entire spring, summer, and part of fall before I was able to recover the most important element – writing. It’s taken even longer to start to pick back the rest…

Call it a Resolution, Call it a Plan

Call it a Resolution, Call it a Plan

2022 was a year full of contradictions when it came to writing. There were fulfilling milestones – finishing a rough draft for the very first series I ever worked to publish, finding online communities to join, succeeding with my NaNoWriMo goals – and then there were just absolute clunkers. I went on a stretch of several months with zero desire to write, and it was only through sheer will that I…

A New Year, Still Me

A New Year, Still Me

2022 was a year full of changes for this little corgi. Okay, so I’m not that little, but I’m still much closer to the ground than a lot of dogs. To start with, my mom and I created a garden. And I had to make sure that the evil voles stayed out of the garden beds! It was tough work, but someone had to do it! Then came the chickies. I was introduced to six baby chicks in April, and was told that…

And I Helped!

Today’s Topic: Peanut Butter Dog Treats So, my human mom has decided that she needs an outlet for all her work around the farm. Since I’m such a sweet and loving Corgi, I offered her this blog. She’s going to work to share more pictures of me in exchange for letting her have a spot to drop some cooking and/or gardening and/or farm topics from time to time. Just know, no matter what the topic, I…

When Secondary Characters Need to be Heard

When Secondary Characters Need to be Heard

I will freely, openly admit to having been in a rut for the last several weeks. It’s probably more accurate to say it’s going on months. I’ve been writing, it just hasn’t been the same. I still make a point to try and participate in at least one weekly writers chat on Twitter. But there’s just been something off, something missing, and it took me the longest time to realize what. It took even…

When Being Alone is Lonely

When Being Alone is Lonely

And here we are I’ve seen a lot over the last two years about how the pandemic has changed people. It has changed how we work in some cases, how we visit friends and family, even how some of us get simple items like groceries. I’ll freely admit, that not only as an introvert, but one who has permanent effects from a rather rough bout of Covid two years ago, I’ve been largely okay with these…

Writer's Retreat - Part 1

Writer’s Retreat – Part 1

Yesterday morning, while waiting for the coffee to kick in, I was skimming through my Pinterest feed when I came across a post detailing how to have a personal writer’s retreat. I read through it, enjoyed some of the suggestions, and then continued to scroll. As the coffee slowly started to fire up the synapses, I came back to this idea, and like a snowball rolling downhill, it gained momentum…

A Non-Linear Turn

Also smells overwhelmingly of tears and caffeine Writer’s block. The two most dreaded words a writer can hear, see, or even think about. But the fact of the matter is that it inevitably is going to hit almost everyone at some point or another. I currently have two WIPs, and both are characters that are developed in my mind, the plot is there, I know where I want to go, and roughly speaking, how…

Waiting on a Song

Waiting on a Song

Maybe this is really my problem… One of the nice things about expanding my writing circle is learning that I am not alone in some of my crazier pre-writing rituals. From the world of Wattpad, I’ve stumbled upon multiple fellow writers who have an entire Playlist created just for their work in progress. Even NaNoWriMo has an option when creating a new project to select a playlist for others to…

Another Bend in the Road

Another Bend in the Road

In retrospect, the fate of my different blogs and social media outlets is entertaining for anyone who likes to study the psychology of the human mind. This blog, the one that I first started to try and say the things that I couldn’t out loud, was put on the back burner a year ago when I decided to put my writing first. But over the course of the last year, I’ve come to realize that in putting so…

Tasked with history of her ancestors, she knows her place is to learn, protect her own fae-friend, and to avoid all hint of strangers. But there are more like her than she could imagine, and when one of their kind arrives on their island, looking for her, she must go in search of her destiny - and in doing so, she must avoid the outside world, where the threat of war grows ever closer. Saga and her fae-friends must find the power of Kêr-Is before others who are interested for all the wrong reasons. Only then will the power of the fae survive.
