It’s Almost Time!

In 6 DAYS my first novel A Royal Mind will be published. I am so excited and nervous. I started working on it last year and I used the summer to finish to the first draft before starting back to school in the Fall. I’m glad I did because last semester was one of the

NanoWriMo Day???

I’ve lost track of my NanoWriMo days. Looking back it probably wasn’t realistic for me to make the goal of writing every day and getting a total of 50,000 words by the end of the month DURING finals. I’ve done my best to keep writing every day or at least every other- but it’s been
