Hi, friends, and happy July! July is always one of my favorite months because it’s the official halfway point of the year.

When I started this blog, the idea was to bring the issues that I find to the forefront and be honest about them. In the past, I’ve talked about struggles specific to books I’ve been working on. I’ve also talked about my process, my challenges, and my wins. Today, I want to talk a little... Continue Reading →
I’ve learned, over the years, that the most common questions authors get asked is “what are you working on”. In fact, I did an event this past weekend and was asked that question multiple times! I have tackled this question in the past: In July of 2019, I had 5 completed drafts (only one of... Continue Reading →
