Living and Writing…One Adventure at a Time
I haven’t posted in forever! I’ve had a ton of things happening in my life, so it’s been a bit difficult to try and find the time to sit down and write about what’s happening to me and update you all on the progress of Neon Girlfriend. First thing, my husband was away on a business […]
Read MoreFirst off, sorry this is a lot later than normal. I got to work late today, and this got pushed further down the list of things to do. But, I do have a reason for it: my (ideally) final draft should be done this week! I’m so excited, and it’s been a rush trying to […]
Read MoreSince I last posted I’ve been working my tush off. I’m averaging about 3,000 words a day, and it all feels like decent work. There are some spots that I’ll need to go back at look at, but overall it feels great. It feels like a solid book, and that feeling is intoxicating as it […]

So, if anyone saw my Facebook post the other day you’ll know that my editing is not going as smoothly as I would have liked. I knew the later chapters would be rough, but I had hoped that my earlier chapters would be better because I had spent some time editing those as I finished […]

I wanted this out earlier in the day, but I came down with some sort of 24-hour stomach bug. Everyone knows that those usually end up with you having an intimate day with your bathroom floor. Anyhow, I did manage to get myself to the print store before it closed last night and got the […]
Read MoreI can’t say that writing has failed me so much as my writing hand has failed me. I had a bad fall on a hike a little less than two weeks ago and I’m still in a brace. I guess it was a good thing I finished my first draft when I did because it […]
