#SATurdate: The BFG, Butterscotch, The Nutcracker, & X-Men Apocalypse
This week flew by for me! Can’t believe we’re approaching 2016 already either. So crazy. What I’m Writing: Like last week, I’m working on additions in Take Me Tomorrow, book one of The Tomo Trilogy.

#SATurdate: The White Rose, Man in the High Castle, Burt’s Bees, and Sweets.
As you all know, we didn’t have a SATurdate last week due to the monthly Website Wonders piece, so this one might be a bit longer than usual.

I recalled how much I enjoyed the overall storyline but struggled with the simple aspects of the novel, mainly the… Continue reading #WW Writing Help from the World

#WW Writers Who Don’t Write
Recently, I came across an encouraging article by J.H. Moncrieff. And here you are: Writers, we need to stop saying this. To sum it up, Moncrieff speaks out against the phrase “Writers write” and encourages everyone to be more realistic. “Writers write whenever they can.” Way to go, Moncrieff! I love that she posted this,… Continue reading #WW Writers Who Don’t Write
