This has been a crazy hard month for us, started really end of January, and it's looking to continue to be another rough month. My spouse was fired, we're switching kids' daycare because of abuse issues, I've been sick with some cold, stomach bug through the house, COVID scare...it never ends. That's legit just the … Continue reading #ROW80 update and progress on goals

Glorious Day by Skye Kilaen #amreading #review #lesfic #scifi @skyekilaen
I read this novella earlier this month, and I have to say, I was pretty impressed. There are quite a few twists and turns in it. It's got the perfect amount of plot for a novella. Check it out and my review. The bodyguard is a traitor. The princess is her one true love. … Continue reading Glorious Day by Skye Kilaen #amreading #review #lesfic #scifi @skyekilaen
#Row80 check in for round 1
I'm going to try to consistently check in this time, and I'm aiming for once a week. Not sure yet if that'll be Wednesdays or Sundays....today it seems to be a Sunday haha. This week didn't start off so great and I got behind in my outlined schedule of what I should be doing because … Continue reading #Row80 check in for round 1
Stone’s Mistake (Agent Morgan Stone 1) COVER REVEAL #amreading #lesfic
Today, I'm officially revealing the cover for Stone's Mistake (Agent Morgan Stone #1). This book. This book, you guys. I can't even. I love it. It's a fuller expansion from a short story I wrote in 2015 called "A Blizzard's Blow" in an anthology titled Young Love, Old Hearts. I have wanted to expand this … Continue reading Stone’s Mistake (Agent Morgan Stone 1) COVER REVEAL #amreading #lesfic
Brandi Carlile Rabbit Hole #ROW80 #NaNoWriMo
So many rabbit holes this week, but the one I'm super excited about is Brandy Carlile music! It's my new favorite station on Pandora to write to. My kids are so tired of be "playing music" on the TV instead of television shows for them. I keep telling them it'll make them smarter, but I … Continue reading Brandi Carlile Rabbit Hole #ROW80 #NaNoWriMo
Non-existent mornings #ROW80 #NaNoWriMo
As I sit here at not even 7am with my daughter watching Moana for the six millionth time, I'm annoyed. Not because of Moana, not because of time with my daughter, because 5am-7am is supposed to be my writing time, especially on Sunday mornings and since daylight savings, my kids have been waking up when … Continue reading Non-existent mornings #ROW80 #NaNoWriMo
#ROW80 update, week 3 round up #NaNoWriMo
Whew! It's been an insane week. I decided after much thought and listening to my muse, the story, and my spouse, that I needed to expand Glacial Freeze (this is not the final title). So I added 5 chapters to it Thursday-Saturday and turned it into a 55k word novel from it's 39k word novella. … Continue reading #ROW80 update, week 3 round up #NaNoWriMo
De-Termination (Quarter Life 2) #amwriting #backlist #newrelease #comingsoon
SO! I realized this morning that I had announced over on my Facebook but I forgot to announce here. Ooops! De-Termination (Quarter life 2) will release on December 1st! This is huge, you guys. Seriously. This book was originally supposed to release in 2016, but life got in my way, and instead of writing it, … Continue reading De-Termination (Quarter Life 2) #amwriting #backlist #newrelease #comingsoon
Another round of #WIPpetWednesday #amwriting #thriller
I can't think of the word thriller without Michael Jackson's voice running through my head! Yesterday during therapy, my spouse mentioned that I had written a scary weird ass novel to our therapist. She was all "What!?" I was all, "I wrote a thriller." Cue Michael Jackson. Anyway! I am here to share another excerpt … Continue reading Another round of #WIPpetWednesday #amwriting #thriller
Religion in lesfic #brokentaboos #amwriting #shortstory
I write lesfic, and I write religion, and the two do not often mix. There are some places that this works, but most likely, whatever I write with a women loving women bent and religion is not going to take off. I know this, but still I write it. Why? Because lesbians are Christians and … Continue reading Religion in lesfic #brokentaboos #amwriting #shortstory
A small excerpt for a #WIPpetWednesday
I asked on Facebook this week if anyone was even participating in WIPpet anymore. I have no idea. Those who I knew who were doing it, aren't anymore. But I miss it so much. I thought I'd share a little from what I have been writing this whole month. This is from Learning Love which … Continue reading A small excerpt for a #WIPpetWednesday
Long time no type…?
It has been a long time since I have truly ventured into the world of writing and publishing. I wanted to be sure in my last foray into it that I was going to stick with it. I'm glad to say it's been about a month now of me writing consistently, well mostly. I had … Continue reading Long time no type…?
I may be back…I may disappear again…
As my children finally get a little older and as I finally work through some of the trauma from the birth of my second, I am FINALLY getting back into writing a tad bit. It's been a whirlwind for the past four years of trying to just keep up with basics and function. In November … Continue reading I may be back…I may disappear again…
Running with the #WIPpet #WIPpetWednesday
It's been 4 weeks since I posted. oooops! my bad! I haven't done any writing this past month, which saddens me. I need to get back on the boat and I'm hoping posting a WIPpet will help. The blog I was running for reviews has shut down officially, so I should have more time to … Continue reading Running with the #WIPpet #WIPpetWednesday
Decisions, Decisions, will they come back to haunt us? #WIPpetWednesday #WIPpet #AmWriting
I'm excited to say that I've actually spent quite a bit of time writing this week. I feel like I'm finally getting back into the swing of things. On Monday I wrote close to 5,000 words, so I guess that helps makes up for my ROW80 goals that I've missed. I need to write about … Continue reading Decisions, Decisions, will they come back to haunt us? #WIPpetWednesday #WIPpet #AmWriting
Progress is Progress #ROW80 #AmWriting #Mourn #KansasBeatitude
I feel like I can add the tag #amwriting this week because I did actually do some writing, even if it wasn't a lot. I managed 1700 words on Thursday before I headed off to work, and while I'd had intentions to write on Friday and Saturday, it just didn't happen. I spent Sunday afternoon … Continue reading Progress is Progress #ROW80 #AmWriting #Mourn #KansasBeatitude
Pssst did someone say #WIPpetWednesday?
Hey all. I know, I know. I haven't been around. But I'm working on that. I have at least been writing, this month. I haven't been writing much in general. This pregnancy thing really threw me for an unexpected loop. Anyway. I am writing. I'm writing something totally and completely new. It's called OBlique. It's … Continue reading Pssst did someone say #WIPpetWednesday?
