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.

#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

Music Muse: My December
I haven't mentioned music which inspires my writing in a while, so I thought this song, considering December's arrival, would be a great one to mention. "My December" by Linkin Park is a lovely and mellow song, unlike some of their rocker songs. I love this song. I used to love it so much, I… Continue reading Music Muse: My December
