What I’m Writing: I’m back on the Bad Bloods train with a brand-new outline and a continued plan after getting stuck in writing quicksand 38,000 words in. I actually have an article about WHAT was wrong with it coming out on Wednesday, so look out for that. It has something to do with my female… Continue reading #SATurdate: Sequel Sneak Peeks, The Light Between Oceans, Rook, & Cupcakes.

What I’m Writing: I worked with some awesome writers this week on various projects! I’m keeping my fingers crossed about the future, because I love, love, love where everything is going.

#SATurdate: An Ember in the Ashes, A Torch Against the Night, W – Two Worlds, & YALLFest.
What I’m Writing: Honestly, I’ve put the next Bad Bloods books away for now. Sophia would not shut up, so I spent my writing time obliging her this week. Basically, I wrote in book 3 of the Tomo Trilogy, Take Me Never. I know. I know. Book 1 isn’t even out, so a lot of… Continue reading #SATurdate: An Ember in the Ashes, A Torch Against the Night, W – Two Worlds, & YALLFest.
#WW Heroes I Want to See In YA
In the real world, heroes come in all shapes and sizes. They can save the world, or they can save one person. Heck, they can even just save themselves! But every hero we read about has a different story to tell, a background unlike any other, and most of all, a story to tell. However,… Continue reading #WW Heroes I Want to See In YA
#SATurdate: Suicide Squad, Little Alchemy, Marshmallow Popcorn, & Cinderella and the Four Knights
What I’m Writing: I received some funny texts from a reader! I won’t say which project she was referring to, but it had me laughing pretty hard! What can I say? Chic Nerd Reads got it right in her book review of November Snow when she said “THE AUTHOR GAME OF THRONED ME AND I WAS… Continue reading #SATurdate: Suicide Squad, Little Alchemy, Marshmallow Popcorn, & Cinderella and the Four Knights
#WW I Love Free Readers
What is a free reader? A reader who only reads free books. In a market where millions of books are listed as free across all platforms, free readers have become a common occurrence…and they’ve also caught a lot of flak. First, I want to clarify that I’m not talking about people who steal books by… Continue reading #WW I Love Free Readers
#MondayBlogs An Author Who Fears Public Speaking
Despite working with the English language every day—as a writer, as an editor, and as a reader—I have difficulty speaking. I stumble and stutter a lot. Perhaps this is one of the reasons I worked so hard to master the written language. I was making up for another aspect of the language I didn’t excel… Continue reading #MondayBlogs An Author Who Fears Public Speaking
#SATurdate: The Secret Life of Pets, #1 YA Sci-Fi, Noble My Love, Criminal, & Aerie
What I’m Writing: While I’m dutifully writing in Bad Bloods: July Thunder/Lightning, I also had to take a step back and work on some other projects this week, mainly Dreammare, which was awesome. That being said, I’m 38,740 words into July Thunder/Lightning, and hit a bit of a snag (but in a good way). I… Continue reading #SATurdate: The Secret Life of Pets, #1 YA Sci-Fi, Noble My Love, Criminal, & Aerie
#SATurdate: Star Trek, Tallulah, Free Book, & Rice Maker Cake
Since last Saturday was my monthly Ketchup post, this one covers two weeks of info. What I’m Writing: I’m dutifully writing in Bad Bloods: July Thunder/Lightning right now, and so far, I love working with these characters again, especially the brand-new crew that’s being introduced. That being said, I’m 31,269 words in, and currently writing… Continue reading #SATurdate: Star Trek, Tallulah, Free Book, & Rice Maker Cake
