I completed HB90 and have my quarter all set up, and I'm continuing Publish and Thrive. I'll be writing Girlie in November, and I think what I'll be doing with it is making it into 4 or 5 'shorter' books... short for me is easily 50,000 words.... writing and editing them all, and then I'll … Continue reading HB90 Is Complete and My Plans
Yes, it really has been that long since I graduated. One of my classmates put a lot of effort, money, and time into the reunion, so I'm grateful to her. I didn't initially realize how much work she did to make it be a nice evening, so thank you! I only misnamed four people. *facepalm* … Continue reading 20 Year High School Reunion
Since this came up in another post, I thought I'd make a list for you. Kaler Born - written when I was 14, this is my biggest dumpster fire of a book! 75,000 words. Shields of Magic - mostly written in notes passed back and forth with a friend, age 15. 30,000 words. Familiar - … Continue reading How Many Books Have I Drafted?

Tundra tends to have tantrums and destroy our couch. This time he made his best cute face after. And then to show more of the … Continue reading Cute Tundra After a Couch Tantrum – Photos Within
I'm working on Sarra Cannon's HB90 class right now, and I just reached the goal setting section. So far it's been eye opening, and she's had us clearly delineate how much time we have for things in a realistic fashion. She limits you to THREE goals, clearly stated, with measurable results.
