I took a long weekend off work to get my ducks in a row, but let me tell you: these ducks were wily. Let me start by explaining my nearly-completed manuscript, Noble Charms. We’re on draft five and I’m so ready for its debut.

I just came back from a work trip to Los Angeles and it was a whirlwind. An informative whirlwind. Being “trapped” on a plane for several hours over the course of a few days allowed me to really lock-in on reading and writing goals. Here’s what I’ve figured out.

I’ve been plugging away, slowly (very slowly) but surely, on Noble Pursuits. It’s the first book in my trilogy called Noble Fates & Fortune. The books are three interlinked mm fantasy romances featuring gods, orcs, elves, and The Vampire. (I need to work on my pitch.)

I found out at the end of January that my landlord was ending my lease (which was month-to-month) and moving back into her condo.

It's gone like this: I write for fun -> oh, I can write for serious? -> wait, this is very serious and I don't like it -> I write for fun again.

My daddy came at me with the scissors. He closed them to a shiny point, held like a knife in his shaking fist, and he swung at me with big milky eyes narrowed and lost.

Goodghost stopped the sharp shiny silver point before it hit me.
