#SATurdate: X-Men Apocalypse, Winter, Money Monster, & Banana Desserts

What I’m Writing: I’ve actually been working on the free Bad Bloods Prequel on Wattpad this week. Even though the origin stories were written a long time ago, the next few stories needed more attention than the other ones. I hope you’ve enjoyed the first three chapters—which included the origin stories of Adam, Michele, and Maggie—and you’ll… Continue reading #SATurdate: X-Men Apocalypse, Winter, Money Monster, & Banana Desserts

#SATurdate: The Jungle Book, Thunderclap, and Through the Looking Glass

What I’m Writing: This week I finished my initial edit of D, and now that I’ve cranked that entire manuscript out in a ridiculous amount of time, Shannon is taking a much-needed break. But hey! I have three novels complete and ready to pursue publication. I'm sure I'll recover from writers' burnout soon. What I’m… Continue reading #SATurdate: The Jungle Book, Thunderclap, and Through the Looking Glass

#SATurdate: Captain America, Chunky Monkey, Paperbacks, & Minions

What I’m Writing: Right now, I’m doing an initial edit of D before I move on from it. As of today, I’m 63,075 words into it, so only 30,000 to go! (Have I mentioned how exhausted I am?) Most importantly, though, I’d like to give another lovely shout out to Author Jonas Lee for helping… Continue reading #SATurdate: Captain America, Chunky Monkey, Paperbacks, & Minions

#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.

#ReaderProblems Fandoms vs. Mobs

All right. All right. I’m not telling anyone they cannot have an opinion. You can. (Of course.) But I wanted to discuss an upsetting trend that bothers me down in my fandom core. Readers ALWAYS hate every adaptation. And it isn’t just hate. It’s very loud, very aggressive, very complete hate. Welcome, fandom mobs. I… Continue reading #ReaderProblems Fandoms vs. Mobs

#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
