Maybe there should be! I’m lucky enough that my boys are in school this fall – though with cases in Poland rising, that might be the case for much longer. I take every day as it comes – what else can you do? – and keep a plan in my pocket for the inevitable days… Continue reading Is There Such a Thing as Autumn Resolutions?
School started here two weeks ago – thankfully, in-person, since the viral counts are so much lower here in Poland – and it’s been absolutely glorious finding my groove again. I’ve known for ages that I need to write every day in order for my mood to be at its best – and it was… Continue reading Three Big Announcements!
I have been doing a lot of thinking over the last month. In fact, I’ve got a Word doc on my computer that is basically 2,000 words of me thinking out loud (well, typing), trying to work my way through the quagmire of issues that 2020 seems to have brought to the light.

With Bonded Beach out in the world, I’m starting to focus on the next book.

I’ve been waist-deep in editing the last few weeks, trying to get not only the next book to a stage where it’s ready for other eyes, but also a few other projects that needed intense editing before completion. I used to hate the editing process, because it seemed so tedious – delete a comma here,… Continue reading On Editing
My first drafts are always messy. There are multiple kinds of writers in the world, but most of the time you can divide them into two groups: the writers who like to plan out their stories in detail, with outlines and guidelines and complete synopsis with bullet points included. “And here they will meet, and… Continue reading First Draft… but wrong book, as it turns out.
I admit it: I have an obsession with my word count. But it’s not exactly about how many words I’ve written at the end of the day. Definition courtesy of abrakadrabble.com If you’re a writer, and you spend any amount of time in online writing communities, you are all-too-well acquainted with the all-mighty word count.… Continue reading I swear, it’s not an obsession, it just looks that way.
I’ve decided that my New Year’s resolution is “Be Better About Blogging.” I’ve also decided that waiting until the actual New Year to try to implement this resolution is stupid, so I’m going start now and maybe by the time New Year’s actually rolls around, I’ll be in the habit of doing it. A girl… Continue reading Resolutions and Indecisions
