Happy Fourth of July!!

Happy Fourth of July everyone! I hope you all have a great day! I completely forgot to do a monthly wrap up for June, so I thought I would share a few things on this post even if it is four days into July.

In June I did a lot of experimenting with my writing. Not only was I reading through Golden and working on revisions for that, but I did a whole lot of research on serialised writing. I talked about that in my post from last week and I think I'm getting a hang of it. It's sort of life writing a TV show only with really short 8,000 word episodes. It's been fun and a challenge and something new to discover and has allowed me to stretch my writing muscles. I plan to do a post on how to write a serialised novel... or at least how I've been writing mine. I'm also doing a lot of research on the best way to put it out to the world. I wouldn't mind making some money but I'm not sure if that's the best avenue. I could put it on Kindle, each episode .99 cents, or on of the serialised novel websites I've found. Or I was thinking after Sterling Silver I could put it on Wattpad or even make my own blog for it. The blog idea sounds really fun and I have some cool ideas for it, but I'm not sure yet what I'll do with this book. Right now, the working title for it is Clarity's Curse. Anyways, so that's what I was doing in June, along with slowly getting around to studying for a math test and the driver's permit test that I want to be ready for by the end of July.

Anyways, I can't believe it's already July! I hope your summer has been good. Mine's been a much needed break and has allowed me to really focus on my writing and think over options and everything.

Have a great Fourth of July full of friends, family and yummy food!

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 Revise like a Pantser ft. Big Hero 6 Gifs

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope you've had a great week so far and that you have a great Easter weekend ahead! We plan on going to my grandparent's on Friday to celebrate Easter with family and spending the night there so that'll be a fun time. :) Alright, so I contemplated doing an Easter-y post on here but I wasn't even sure what that would look like... So instead, I thought I'd do something fun and happy in honor of the celebration of Easter on Sunday. Without further ado, here is your Big Hero 6 gif filled revising process from a real life pantser: The end of your first draft is in sight! You type like crazy, stay up past your normal bedtime until it is finished. When you type The End, the satisfaction that you actually did this thing sets in. Guys, it is the sweetest feeling ever. Knowing you worked so hard to complete this draft and came out on the other side. Unscathed? Perhaps not. But triumphant? Definitely! That first draft is a total disast

Friday in Review: May Monthly Wrap-Up

Happy Wednesday once more everyone! I hope you've all had a great May. May has been full of lots of life stuff and writerly stuff and reading. I am so excited to share it with you all (along with an awesome new thing I'm doing for next month on here)! May Writing: May was full of lots of writing... Like lots. I finished draft four of The Lost Ones, came up with the name The Lost Ones and finished editing draft five. Now comes the hard work of plugging in all those changes and edits into my Word doc. Oh the joys of writing... ;) But for real, I am so excited that I finished the read through for TLO and I am even more excited to finish this draft so I can get it ready for betas. This month I also planned out the series... I've never planned out a series ever. I'm a pantser so what do I do? I make life hard for myself by winging not only my novels but entire series too. That whole not planning thing? It didn't work for me and since I'm wanting to take myself m
