I’ve been thinking about the planner vs. pantser debate a good bit lately as I’m starting work on one novel and gearing up to do revisions on another. If you’re not familiar with these terms when it comes to writing your story — “planner” is probably pretty obvious, someone who plans things out before they write. “Pantser” refers to someone…
For a very long time, Firmament: Eleftheria, book seven in the Firmament series, was sitting at somewhere around fifty percent on the “WIP progress bar” on the side of this website. In fact, I started writing it in 2017 as my NaNoWriMo project for the year. I didn’t win NaNo that year, and I didn’t finish the book then or…
A very, very long time since I posted — as I explained in my last post, I’ve had many technical difficulties. But now I’m back, and I’m determined to FINISH what I started with my 2021 mini book reviews! There are still so many to get to, and I have really missed sharing them! Picking up where we left off…
Here I am with five new short reviews for you! The books in this post are a bit eclectic, but then, so are my reading tastes in general. I hope you enjoy the continued journey through my 2021 literary journey! Forsaken Dreams by MaryLu Tyndall Okay, so this one requires a bit of background. It is a Christian historical romance…
Continuing on with my short reviews of the books I read in 2021! These are all still from January. I got a lot read in January both last year and this year, and I’ve found that helps me stick with a reading goal — getting ahead early so I don’t fall behind! The Lazy Girl’s Guide to a Blissful Pregnancy…
I had such a great time going over my 2020 books and writing short reviews last year, that I decided to do it again this year! I’m not going to be quite as ambitious when it comes to the timeline — rather than doing them all in a month or doing a certain number per week, I’m just going to…
Now that I’m between writing projects for a little while, I want to start doing the short reviews for the books I read last year — but first I have one post I need to write. It’s very late in coming, but it’s important! I realized when I opened this website last year for the first time in awhile that…
I did it! It’s been awhile now since I finished, but I wanted to be sure to let all of you know that I made it — 50,000 words in the month of November! It was such an amazing journey — the most consistent writing I’ve ever done in my life. I kept on track with my daily word count…
I don’t think I even posted last year when I released a novella as part of the A Very Bookish Thanksgiving collection! Last autumn, myself and some other authors did this project together and it was a really wonderful experience. This year, myself and some of the others are releasing our novellas as individual ebooks. Mine is called Grand Intentions,…
If you haven’t heard — I’m doing NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) this year for the first time in years. The last time I did it successfully was 2015, and I tried it in 2017 only to make it less than halfway through. This year, I decided kind of last minute that I wanted to go for it. Sure, that…
