Hello, dear reader! Another month, and more progress on my novel. Not as much as I'd like, but that is the writer's life, isn't it? I was a fool! I fell victim to one of the two classic blunders! The most famous of which is, "never get involved in a land war in Asia," It seemed like I would have so much time to write, so I didn't write on the first day of my vacation, and didn't write … [Read more...]
July: Making Progress Once Again!
Good evening, dear readers! It's been a busy July. I wrote 13 000 words, bringing my word count up to 45000 for my novel.

This novel touches on so much of what I love about fiction. Mystery, science fiction, … [Read more...]
March and April Shenanigans
Well, hello to you, dear reader! Welcome to my first monthly newsletter! Only… two weeks later than I promised. I’ve really struggled to find a way to keep everyone updated on my life and progress because I have a weird relationship with social media.
