Just a little update you guys about how or rather where I am in my manuscript. I finished my first draft–in its roughest glory just before the holidays so around mid-October last year. I took a few weeks off for clarity even though I was itching to get back in. This break was super, super … More Tackling the manuscript
You guys WriteOnCon happened a few weeks ago and I am still catching up on all its goodness. For those of you who don’t know WriteOnCon is an online writing conference held online for writers. The moment I found out about it I quickly signed up. It is a three-day conference for writers and illustrators … More WriteOnCon 2018
Let’s get this out of the way: building your writing routine is hard. Seriously, I think it’s almost like a rite of passage figuring out our own routine. You may have this awesome story idea that you wish wrote itself because you can’t seem to find the time to sit down and write it. There … More Building Your Writing Routine
We’ve all been there, seriously. Writing folk and nonwriting folk included. We’ve all at some point had to rewrite something. Just think about all those texts that you had to backspace on because your first draft was well–rough or didn’t communicate what you wanted to say. Now imagine 400 pages of that. Yup. As I … More On Rewriting
December is coming to an end which obviously as we wrap up the year I’d like to say with grand gusto because why not? Whoo-hoo I finished my very first draft!!

Yay! Currently I am editing my main project which WOW has … More Prepping for NaNoWriMo 2017

I am so honored to have been able to contribute to the blog. Participating in NaNoWriMo is what truly gave me a jolt to seriously make a commitment to write every day. Shortly after completing Camp NaNoWriMo in July I wrote a post for the NaNoWriMo blog. Check it out here!
Y’all I went to my very first writing conference about two weeks ago and it was AWESOME! For a while now I had been reading on author blogs that mentioned going to a writing conference was important and at times a necessity for the craft. I can definitely agree for sure. Over a year ago … More North Texas SCBWI
When I started plotting this novel I didn’t know what the heck I was doing. All I knew was that I had a story that I wanted to write and I was somehow going to figure out how to do that. I came to the conclusion that I really did need to have some sort … More Writing the final act
