Back in December I agreed to read a book. SHOCKING, I know. I'm a slow reader, and I almost didn't agree to read this because it was a tight deadline, but I couldn't withstand the pull of two enby characters falling in love on the page. So, let's recap. This book releases TODAY! You can … Continue reading A Jade’s Diamond by Char Dafoe #bookreview #enby #nonbinary #wlw #romance

#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
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
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
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
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…
#ROW80 Round 3 but Round 1 for me! #amwriting #KansasBeatitude
It's been a long time since I've written. Sleep deprivation is a real thing, yo. My baby, this past week, has finally decided to sleep through the night (again). He took about 6 weeks off of sleeping through the night. I'm hoping this sticks for him because I really miss writing and spending time in … Continue reading #ROW80 Round 3 but Round 1 for me! #amwriting #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?
I keep saying it, so I should do it! #NaNoWriMo
I haven't been around this year much at all. And there's really no excuse except I haven't been in the mood. I've wanted to be here. I certainly miss writing and miss my writing friends. But so much in life is changing right now. Last year I wrote enough to publish four novels and three … Continue reading I keep saying it, so I should do it! #NaNoWriMo
A Lenten Fast #blogging #life #writing #newreleases #editing
Well, it has been a long time since I've been on this blog. I unintentionally gave up blogging for Lent it seems. Go figure. I ran into one of the busiest few months of my life, even busier than wedding planning and moving across country and starting a new job. I'm not sure I thought … Continue reading A Lenten Fast #blogging #life #writing #newreleases #editing

Dog Chases #row80 and #WIPpet
I've been doing a lot of writing so far this week. It's been so relaxing and awesome. Grace through Redemption had started the beta reading process and I got the prologue back last night. w00t!

Christmas Eve isn’t as relaxed as it used to be #ROW80 & #WIPpetWednesday
Christmas Eve isn't a break for me like it used to be. I was just telling the SO the other day that it's a bit weird not having a Christmas break from like when I was in school because I don't really know when everyone is done for the semester. Today is one of my … Continue reading Christmas Eve isn’t as relaxed as it used to be #ROW80 & #WIPpetWednesday

A romance and a request … #WIPpetWednesday & #ROW80
As most of you know by this point, I am writing a romance novel, and I'm hoping to finish the writing of it today. Because GUEST WHAT!? I finished NaNoWriMo on Monday! w00t! w00t! anyway...I've come to a dilemma in this. I usually use one person for beta reading, but well, I'm overtaxing her. My … Continue reading A romance and a request … #WIPpetWednesday & #ROW80
Progress has been made! #ROW80
I've been making lots of progress on my writing despite this being the week from hell. I worked 12-15 hour days starting with last week Sunday and going all through Friday. Saturday was luckily only a 6 hour day, but man am I exhausted after that. That doesn't include any writing time. However, thanks to … Continue reading Progress has been made! #ROW80

Let me know, baby. Let me know and I’ll take care of you. I’ll make you elbows and special soup, and chicken and dumplings (because that’s your thing not mine). I’ll get you medicine and tuck you in. We’ll watch whatever you want to watch on television. I want you to feel better. You can … Continue reading Open when you’re sick… #openwhen #loveletter
Decisions…decisions #ROW80 & #WIPpetWednesday
I'm struggling with decisions today. I don't know which WIPpet to share with you all. I have two going right now in the writing life, and two going right now in the editing life. And my NaNoWriMo project is supposed to be super secret, so I'm not sure I want to share from it. While … Continue reading Decisions…decisions #ROW80 & #WIPpetWednesday
