we're all mad here
A funny thing just happened. I realized I hadn’t really written over here about what was going on in my writing life lately, and that the last Saints 2 update was on 1/24. I remembered, however, that I once did a 20k in 10 days post, and kind of unraveled what this story was about…

Well, we are officially into 2018 now, and I am starting out strong. I’ve been a busy little bee this month in all aspects of my life, including reading, so there are quite a few book reviews down below for you. Next month, I’m heading up to Maine for a long weekend, so I’ll be…

It has begun! I officially finished the first chapter of Saints 2 yesterday. It feels so good to be writing again, back with my little dysfunctional family of devils. I love them so much, and I’m so eager to see where this sequel takes them. And I thought now would be a fun time to…

It’s been nearly a week since I finished editing the Pen boys, and since then, I’ve had a very relaxing handful of days. I finished editing on Friday, and I spent most of the weekend with my parents. I usually spend Saturdays with them, and this weekend was no exception, though my day was a…
Read MoreYou know that feeling you get, when you’re nearing the end of reading a book, and you’re starting to think about what to read next, and you just–don’t know? And then you finish the book, and it’s time to pick a new one to read, and it’s just so freaking hard? Like, sometimes I put…
Read MoreIn the last 10 days since I posted on here, I’ve edited the entirety of the Pen boys, and let me tell you, I’m freaking tired. When I started out, the first draft of Pen boys–and I’m really talking the first draft; I kind of edited it along the way, but like, not really at all–was…
