Goodbye, NaNo – Hello, Publishing!

NaNoWriMo is over, but I am SO excited for this next season of my life! I won NaNo (i.e. wrote 50k words in November) and completed that draft of my project. Which . . . I can’t go into too much detail about yet, but soon. 😉 With my NaNo project temporarily tucked away, I’ve

NaNoWriMo Comes to a Close

Well, folks, I’ve passed the 40k mark! I’m pretty sure I’ll be finishing up in the next few days. However, my blog post announcing the actual completion of NaNo will be a bit delayed, as I’m taking part in the December Eve Blog Party on the 30th and the 1st. So expect the wrap-up post

I Want to do NaNoWriMo This Year . . . I Think.

It’s that time of year again. Harvesting corn, canning tomatoes, making applesauce (from the early apples) . . . In between training a new puppy, learning a new language, managing a blog . . . oh, and writing. I mean, I am a writer. In all seriousness, Fate of a Prince’s first draft is finished,

How to Choose Between Book Ideas

We all get to that point, sometime or another, when we have to choose between a handful – or a hundred – lovely book ideas scribbled on a page and . . . yikes! I want to write them allllllll! Yeah, but seriously, it happens. I’m getting towards the end of the first round of editing
