Jumping Around July 2020
Hello everyone! I had a super busy month in July!
Prequels and Second Drafts June 2020
Hey everyone! This past month I have been jumping around a little. At the beginning of the month I wrapped up the first draft of Mirrors of Ice, and it was much shorter than I thought it would be. About 30k shorter than I expected, which I knew was a big problem. I thought about just jumping back in and […]
First Draft Woes May 2020
Hey everyone! This past month, I’ve been super busy diving into my first draft of my next fairy tale retelling, Mirrors of Ice.

CampNaNoWriMo April 2020
