Over the last couple of months, I have had the opportunity to volunteer for several amazing events. The first event was WorldCon-Seattle and the second was the Million Meal Pack.

This is my schedule for @seattlein2025.org next week!

I reached 100K words, despite challenges balancing work and writing. Weekend writing keeps me motivated, and I'm excited for my characters' impending transformations in the story!

I have been reading some amazing indie fantasy over the last two months. But, my main focus has been writing my own.

85K words into the first draft. The story is getting ready to take some thrilling turns.

Picked up book 1 yesterday. It is on my tbr after DarkBlade Assassin.

Just finished watching the series finale of Cobra Kai. What did you think?

First Milestone Reached! Just hit 50K words on my first novel draft! Still got two milestones to go. Big thanks to supportive authors!

Thank You Deborah Chester and M.J. Kuhn Last year, I read a book by Deborah Chester that helped me start my fantasy novel. Now, I'm energized thanks to M.J. Kuhn's workbook!

You gotta stay in the story. Hard lesson to learn when writing is not your full-time day job.

Gonna check this out. You should too.

Loved this interview with @obeytheauthor.bsky.social and Chris Roucchio

When the coffee pot is almost empty and it is not even 9am, what do you do? You turn to your new best friend… @andypeloquinauthor.bsky.social #indieauthors #darkfantasy #johnwick

This was funny!! www.facebook.com/share/r/1GuL...

May your word counts be happy and bright — Merry Christmas to all!

Finally pushed over the 30K words mark on The Curse of All Things Pure. Starting a new section of the novel and introducing a tragic character I hope resonates with readers.

What a beautiful day to relax and read.

LOL! I saw where I had put “15k” in the previous post. Dang, if that were the case I would be done with the book in a week. I meant 1.5k

Instead of going to bed at my regular time, I wrote 15k words. When I got up this morning and reread it, I actually liked it. Ever been there before?

So excited to write this next chapter. Introducing a new character I hope everyone will like as much as I do

Rereading the Bloodsworn trilogy by John Gwynne. Since getting the final installment last month, I have finished book 1 and now 25% into book 2. Cannot wait to finish this saga!
