I’m a slow writer. There. I said it. I’m a slow writer. (Just for extra measure.) You see, I used to think I was a fast writer. “I can write a manuscript in two months,” “I wrote that novella in a few days,” “That short story took me an hour.” Okay. So, I’ve never actually… Continue reading #MondayBlogs Confessions of a Slow Writer

I have a confession. As an #authorofinstagram, I post daily pictures of my writing life that are more or less fictional stories themselves. Sure, my cats are real and that coffee was definitely mine, but not all of my posts are live (although a fair portion of them are), and the mood I describe might… Continue reading #WW The Truth Behind An Author’s Instagram
#MondayBlogs The Worst Thing A Reader Ever Said To Me
I can admit the worst thing a reader ever wrote to me. It was 2007, I was 16, my publisher at the time had released my first novel, and Honesty Box was the hottest app on Facebook. My high school self was naïve enough to have one of these, and one day, I found myself staring… Continue reading #MondayBlogs The Worst Thing A Reader Ever Said To Me

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.

#MondayBlogs Authors, Look Back to Move Forward
Most writers have dreamt of being authors for a long time. Finding out an author started writing at a very young age happens more often than not, and I think it is important to remember that. In many ways, it is easier for a child to dream of becoming an author or an athlete or a… Continue reading #MondayBlogs Authors, Look Back to Move Forward

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
