Blogger Break and Update

Hey everyone! So I told myself that even though my own class started I would still be consistent on this blog. And then class started and the blog and writing and everything got sidelined. Let's just say I am not gifted in the area of learning new languages. At all. So this Spanish class is kind of killer. June slipped away from me but I am going to try my hardest to post at least once a week on this thing, maybe twice if I try really hard. But I have a lot of Of Magic and Mayhem stuff to do and revising Project Khione and really, really wanting to get back into Golden and revise that cuz I love my Renee and Jax and Zayde so much.

This post is going to be pretty small but here's a quick update to start off July.

Writing-wise I finished Golden about a month ago and can't stop thinking about it. My fingers are itching to write the sequel. I also narrowed down the short stories I'm putting into Of Magic and Mayhem, have been revising and editing those things to death. Now I'm on my final sweep through, just polishing them up one last time and getting the cover figured out and made. It's on Goodreads now and I'm going to be marketing it shamelessly. You can find it Here. So at the moment Of Magic and Mayhem is my main thing that I'm working on.

Project Khione is getting a bit of a rewrite... which means that's going to take quite some time to finish especially with this class during the summer and then classes in the Fall and all that. I can't believe I have to be thinking about classes in the Fall already! This year is just going a little too fast for my liking. But the sequel to Weapon Icean is going to be published, I am determined to get it published around the same time Weapon Icean was. Only I think I'm going to be bold and tackle all the edits and revisions myself. Hopefully I'll be able to find some really good beta readers for this to help me out some.

Golden... I really need to stop gushing about this book! But I think once I am satisfied with Of Magic and Mayhem I'm going to lose all self-control and just get to work on Golden. That's my prediction anyways because I have little self-control to begin with (just ask any of my friends). I don't know when Golden will be published or anything... Right now it's just sort of my pet-project, the project that is making me really happy and right now I'm just fine with keeping Golden to myself.

Life-wise I am not nearly as organized. My writing life is pretty simple. I write, edit and revise until I'm happy with how the story has turned out. Life is a bit harder than that. I am going to be studying super hard to get my driver's permit by the end of July (this Indiana permit test is sooo hard but I am determined to get it and get my driver's license sooner or later). Other than that life is pretty dull. I've gotten out of my reading slump. Yay! I just finished reading Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller and that was good. The beginning was a little slow to me and hard for me to get into but midway through I couldn't put it down. I can't wait for the next one! I also read Our Dark Duet and that was just complete perfection besides the whole ripping my heart out at the end. Other than that I've been doing my Spanish class and overall feeling better than I did a few months ago.

And right now... that is about it I think. Hopefully I will have a post up on Monday. To all of you doing camp nanowrimo happy writing!

Cover Reveal: Golden Touch!!

 Happy Tuesday!!  Today's the day! I turn 23 and I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than to share the cover for Golden Touch! I think this is by far my favorite cover my mom has ever done. It's crazy to think that this time last year Golden Touch was still just a first draft and I was in the middle of writing book 2 of the series. A defining part of my twenty-second year will always be having revised Golden Touch and written almost the entire Archive Series. And now I get to open up my twenty-third year with sharing the cover and writing book the first draft of book 5, the very last book in the series. God is so good guys. I really think He gave me Golden Touch and this whole series a few months before the events of 2020 started. He gave me a story I could get lost in, I could find joy in even during some of the hardest times of the year. And now I get to share the cover and I get to close out the series and I just pray and hope that God will use Golden Touch and...

How to Write A Survivalist Character During The Apocalypse

Hello friends! It's been a while... The last two weeks have been kind of nuts. The entire world is freaking out, everything's been turned upside down. Last week was rough... I had wanted to write out a birthday blog post and do something special on here for turning 22, but then everything happened and I was too stressed and I forgot to write anything, so that's kind of a bummer. I guess I could do it this week, but I feel like something else is needed for this week. I was thinking I should write some meaningful, hope-filled blog post. Write about what's going on in the world... but then I realized, everyone is already doing that. Social media is saturated with hope-filled positivity. And don't get me wrong, that's great! It's needed right now. To be honest though, Sunday night and into Monday I was getting pretty fed up with all the positivity. I think I was just overwhelmed and stressed, but I got pretty bitter and told my mom I was sick of hearing all th...

Five Tips for Getting in the Writing Mood

Happy June everyone!! I am both excited and a little anxious for this month... Excited because the twenty one pilots concert is at the end of the month and because my college class starts at the end of the month too (while also being a little anxious about it as well haha). Honestly, I don't know why I'm feeling a little off about this month... Maybe just cuz it feels like there's going to be a lot going on... I have an over the phone adviser meeting tomorrow and am helping at my church's VBS from 8 to 3 Monday through Friday next week. It'll be good but it's still a little daunting to think about :o But anyways! There's been this weird trend going on right now in my life. Just in the past week I've watched several live videos and authortube videos and read blog posts (most all of them about pantsers or having to do with pantsers in some way) and they all have included, well, pantser stuff but also how to stay in a writing mood. No one has mentioned h...
