Day 8 NaNoWriMo – Time Management as a Theme

Day 8 blog – but I was so tired last night I didn’t hit publish. So I’m doing it bright and early before my flight out of sin city! :] The 20Books Vegas conference has been amazing. And exhausting. I’ve taken a small notebook worth of notes and it will take a few weeks to […]

Day 7 NaNoWriMo- Being Creative for a Living!

583 words this morning!! Yay! The 20BooksVegas sessions started earlier today but I still managed some good words in my Delta 3 novel! I had a sweet email from a friend whose daughter has read all 7 of my YA space opera books and is anxiously waiting for this next one! 💜 This is what […]

Day 6 NaNoWriMo… not very many words today

First full day of the conference and I only got in 383 words this morning before the sessions started. But as I heard most of the day from different speakers and peers, it’s consistency and passion that matters most. We will all have days that don’t go quite right or life happens and we can’t […]

Creativity Over Perfection: The World Needs Your Book!

This Thursday October 11, 2018 my first non-fiction creative writing book will be available on Amazon!!! I’m super excited about this book – it was such a challenge to write and I put so much of myself into it. Going from writing YA Sci-Fi to non-fiction was the most amazing, frustrating, intense, and emotional period […]
