What I’m Writing: First and foremost, Dreammare—my YA fantasy—moved on in Adventure’s in YA Publishing’s Red Light / Green Light writing competition! That means I’m in the TOP FIVE! I am thrilled to be here, and I’ve loved reading everyone’s work so far. Next week, the winner is announced, and honestly, these manuscripts sound bomb.… Continue reading #SATurdate: Book Release, Stranger Things, A Thousand Pieces of You, & Swiss Army Man

#WW Publishing A Political YA Book During An Election
My upcoming release features an election. Even more startling, there are eerie similarities to what is happening in my sci-fi dystopian novel and what is happening today…despite the fact that the original released almost a decade ago. There’s a wall that separates cities, there are debates about the economic crisis and the impacts it has… Continue reading #WW Publishing A Political YA Book During An Election
June’s Ketchup
Another month has passed, and with it, came the summer and my 25th birthday. GEEZ. For those of you just now checking in this month, Ketchup actually means “catch up.” At the end of every month, I write these posts describing what goes on behind the scenes at ShannonAThompson.com. Some of the topics I cover… Continue reading June’s Ketchup
#SATurdate: The Lobster, My 25th Birthday, Spotlight, and Outrun The Moon
What I’m Writing: I’m officially writing in the mysterious book I call “S.” It’s unrelated to The Tomo Trilogy and Dreammare, believe it or not, but I love it all the same. Right now, I only have the first two chapters written, mainly because I’m still world-building, and I imagine this novel is going to… Continue reading #SATurdate: The Lobster, My 25th Birthday, Spotlight, and Outrun The Moon

#SATurdate: Deadpool, Gangsters, Cake, & the Grisha Trilogy.
Rereads and rewrites and movies and cake. What else could a girl want? What I’m Writing: I’m writing in D, and as promised, here is more information. D is a young adult, portal fantasy. I know. I know. Portal fantasies tend to be frowned upon nowadays, but hey, I’m not one to listen to trends,… Continue reading #SATurdate: Deadpool, Gangsters, Cake, & the Grisha Trilogy.
#SATurdate: The End, Writing Playlist, Lemon Bars, & The Winner’s Kiss
One of my all-time favorite trilogies came to an end this week…and so did one of my manuscripts. What I’m Writing: I finished Take Me Yesterday, clocking in at 78,000 words. Of course, I have a few chapters/scenes I want to add during the editing process, so it’s not complete-complete, as no novel is after… Continue reading #SATurdate: The End, Writing Playlist, Lemon Bars, & The Winner’s Kiss
#SATurdate: Star Wars, Novel Aesthetics, Antlers, and Florence
First things first, I hope everyone had a great holiday! This girl celebrated with Christmas candies and hours of reading. (I seriously cannot believe it’s almost 2016.) What I’m Writing: I actually fixed some scenes in Take Me Yesterday this week, and I attempted to keep moving forward in it, but it has to take… Continue reading #SATurdate: Star Wars, Novel Aesthetics, Antlers, and Florence
