Hey everyone! Quick update! I’m less than 10,000 words from finishing my Camp NaNoWriMo goal. Once I finish, I’ll post a more detailed post explaining all that went right (and wrong) with Camp. Let’s just say, it was not easy and I had to make my goal less words. But I’m determined to finish these last 10,000 by the end of the day on Wednesday! As for my short story “Dear Prudence”, it was just published on FICTION on the WEB on July 18th. I’ve gotten…
I just hacked off about 6000 words of my NA novel. I kinda want to jump off a cliff. I was more than 1/4 done. I was over 25,000 words. And now, I’m under 20,000. I want to cry. But I did what I needed to do to fix a major plot problem. I got back on track. I’m headed in the right direction. Am I the first person who has to LOWER their words written for the day at Camp NaNoWriMo? 🙁 I doubt it. Well, I hope at least. So. Depressed. SIGH…
I’m SO excited for Camp NaNoWriMo tomorrow! Anyone else participating?? My goal for July is 95,000 words (I’m including what I’ve already written for this novel so technically it’ll be less than that). I’m sure it’s going to be hard to actually write that many words but I’m hoping it’ll happen! I’m ready for camp…
Why writing a book makes you a BADASS! It’s good to feel like a badass now and then…
So, I’ve found this incredible website called querytracker.net and the inner list maker in me has gone COMPLETELY CRAZY. If you could see the lists I’m making for agents to query, you’d probably slap me. I am OBSESSED with this website. It’s so great for researching lit agents and seeing statistics and comments from others who have submitted. I’m in LOVE. I even paid the $25 for the year of premium membership… be still, my heart! Anyhoooo… speaking of queries, I’ve sent out a bunch…
You’re the Catalyst queries have been sent! I’m still researching more agents to send queries to but I’ve sent a bunch for now. Now I play the waiting game which is never fun. I did get on rejection already (super fast, too) but it was from somewhere that only had you send the query and no pages. I don’t like that as much. So hopefully someone will read the pages and like it! It’s my baby, as I’m sure all of you think of your own books as…

I am very excited to tell you all that I’m getting published… TIMES THREE! I’ve now heard back from three places that want to publish my work. “Dear Prudence” will be published by two different places, the second will have an alternate ending. My flash fiction piece titled “Fuck Melinda… Literally” will also be published. This is very exciting news for me! I’m currently feeling inspired by all the love so I’ve been writing a lot of different flash fiction pieces. I’ll be posting…
Hello dear followers! It’s been a while since I’ve updated so here I am to…um…update! First off, I would like to tell you all the FABULOUS news I received early today! My short story Dear Prudence will be published in the Jan/Feb 2014 issue of Down in the Dirt magazine! I’m so very excited to have my first short story published! It will also be available online later this week so I will be sure to post that link for you when it is up. In other writing news…
Nail biting. Hyperventilation. Pulse quickening. Finger tapping. Leg shaking. These are all signs that you may or may not have your first real draft of your novel in the hands of FOUR of your friends for a few days and have heard nothing from any of them since you gave it to them. These are all signs for how stressed you are. These are all signs that you may or may not internally combust if said friends do not finish the heck up soon. These are all signs you might be going crazy. I will shift my attention elsewhere. I…
