Well, I might as well just come out with it: I'm pushing back my finishing date for Project Pea. Again. Sometimes, it seems like this WIP has been nothing but headaches. I can't seem to get a firm grasp on it, like it just keeps slipping through my fingers. I keep wanting to get frustrated … Continue reading A Setback…but With a Bright Side

Takin’ a Break
Sometimes, you just need to take a break. And sometimes, the break comes to you. I don't have too much progress to report on Project Pea this week because there hasn't been much. I had a lot of things planned last week - a combination of Memorial Day, my birthday, and all of my teacher … Continue reading Takin’ a Break
Writing a Novel in 3 Months – Is It Crazy?
If you're a writer and you don't follow Reedsy, what are you doing? Seriously, Reedsy is an incredible resource. It's kind of hard to define exactly what it is because it's pretty much everything a writer needs!

Writing a novel is hard. We probably all know this, and yet, many of us set out to accomplish this mighty feat. Isn't it amazing? But when you're in the middle of writing a book, sometimes it doesn't feel so amazing.

How To Do a Draft Two
It's almost the end of January and I've had 28 days to start work on my second draft of Project Pea.

Before I even started … Continue reading How To Do a Draft Two
Project Pea Update
Where have I been, you may ask? Writing a book, I will answer. On December 1st, I finally began writing an idea for a book I’ve had for 4-5 years now. I’ve been calling it Project Pea—both because I want to keep the title a secret, and most likely my original title is going to … Continue reading Project Pea Update
Writeober Day 4: Loud
The sound was deafening. It was difficult to believe that something as normal and everyday as water could make such a noise. The complexities of nature, I thought, never end. And then there was the size. I could see out to the rest of the falls and couldn’t fully grasp how small I was in … Continue reading Writeober Day 4: Loud
Writeober Day 1: Leaves
“Wake up! It’s Fall!” Bree groaned, the fogginess in her brain telling her it was much too early to wake up. She rolled over, turning her back to the voice. “C’mon, Bree, you don’t even know what it feels like outside!” “Too early for outside,” Bree mumbled. “Too bad.” Something dumped on top of Bree—or … Continue reading Writeober Day 1: Leaves
