Down the Rabbit Hole

 Happy Wednesday!  I can't believe October is almost over! This month feels like it flew by, though I am excited for Halloween to be coming up so quickly. I'm so excited for the pirate costume I made! Honestly though, I wish October hadn't gone by so fast and I could have enjoyed it a little more.  October Writing:  So, something surprising came up. I ended up writing the first draft of a new book this month! :o The idea came to me at the very end of September and I started writing it September 30th. I had originally planned for it to be a novella but then I wrote... and kept writing and didn't stop writing until I hit 67,000 words and typed out The End on my first ever standalone. This book came out of nowhere. I had planned to give myself a drafting break in October since Nanowrimo is coming up. I wanted to recharge my creative batteries to be ready and yet here I am, having written an entire first draft of a new book right before Nanowrimo. Right now, I don't rea...

 Happy Friday!  Today is the Emerald Phantom cover reveal!! This cover was so hard to put together, but in the end it was worth all the wait and stress because it turned out gorgeously! If you don't know, Emerald Phantom is book two in my five book Archive Series and is the sequel to Golden Touch. It will be out January 6, 2022 and is up for pre-order now. :b  And now without further ado, here is the gorgeous cover!!  * * * * * * * * * * Isn't it so amazing?? It matches the Golden Touch cover so perfectly while also being it's own thing. What I love most about this cover is all the details. The little hands in the emerald (that you will understand if you read it haha), the Aztec type triangles in the corners and then the tiny little triangles behind the emerald. It just is so incredible and I can't wait to hold it in my hands and put it side by side with Golden Touch!  Here's the blurb (be warned that it does have spoilers for book one in it!):  Two weeks a...

 Happy Wednesday!  Last Saturday I finished reading through the entire Old Testament from Genesis to Malachi! It took me a long to do, almost two years I think, but I have officially reached the New Testament. In my 21 years of life, I had never read the entire Bible all the way through and in the summer of 2019 I was inspired by Nate Buzz and all of his posts on his Instagram about the importance of being in the Word to try and read the whole Bible. I didn't want to put a time constraint on myself, like having to read the Bible in a year. I wanted to take my time and go slow. I realized during my reading of the Old Testament that I have my whole life to know Jesus and the Word better. As a follower of Christ, my main pursuit in life is and should be to become more like Jesus and know Him better every day. That gave me comfort as I took the reading of the Bible slowly knowing that God willing I would have my whole life to dig deeper into the Word. Reading from front to back co...

Happy Wednesday! I was honestly going to skip this week because I didn't really have anything to say... I go through these ups and downs with this blog. These high seasons where the well is full and low seasons where there's a drought and I feel like I have nothing to say. But that's not true. Even when we're in a slow season, there are still words to be written even if they seem inconsequential or not enough for a whole blog post. Really, I just didn't want to miss a week. It bothers me when I don't put a blog post up every week even if I have good reason for it haha October is here and I couldn't be happier. The weather didn't really get the memo, though. The last few days have been in the high seventies and creeping up toward the eighties sneakily as if it doesn't think anyone will notice. Well, I have. I have noticed and I am not amused. Warm Falls always annoy me. By September I'm done wearing shorts and t-shirts and flip flops. I'm done...
