Kindle Vella and Sterling Silver Chapter 1

Happy Friday!

I have some exciting news! A few years ago I put my YA vampire hunter book up on Wattpad chapter by chapter and it did fairly well. That draft was by no means perfect, but I loved it for what it was and enjoyed sharing it on there for readers.

And now, years later, I'm sharing it on a new platform: Kindle Vella! I've wanted to try this platform out for a while, but just have not had the time or had the right project. Sterling Silver has been edited and revised and pretty much rewritten in a lot of ways. I think it's finally strong enough to stand on its own and is deserving of being published on a platform where people can pay to read it.

About Sterling Silver:

Tabitha Sterling had her life mostly figured out. Go to high school, hang out with friends and hunt vampires at night. Until Sebastian showed up. Sebastian blows into town to warn her about Alistair, old enemy of her family of vampire hunters, who has his gaze set on Tabitha. As Tabitha and Sebastian fight to figure out what Alistair's end-game is, she must come face to face with her family's past and the truth of why she's between Alistair and the Moirai's game of tug of war.

This book has been my comfort book for years. I've gone back to it time and time again. Written and rewritten it. Reworked characters, plotlines, questioned literally everything about it. I've put it away thinking I needed to give up on the story and then taken it back out a few months later because I couldn't ignore it's siren call. Tabitha and Sebastian have seen me through some of the worst and best times and writing their story has brought me a lot of joy and happiness during so many different seasons of my life.

So, I hope you enjoy this story and the first episode of Sterling Silver! I'll be putting out new episodes every Wednesday and Friday for the next few weeks.

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

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 Negative Character Arc

Anyone else love reading a train wreck? I find negative character arcs refreshing and fun to read and watch because not a lot of people do them. Like I'm a sucker for a redemption arc. I love characters that start out horrible and bad and "irredeemable" and then slowly redeem themselves and become the good guy. But from time to time I just love watching a good character go bad. Call me evil but I hope I'm not the only one who enjoys this. I've actually wanted to write this post for a while after rewatching Merlin last year and then over the past month me and a friend were rewatching Star Wars and I've always enjoyed the prequels because of Anakin's downward spiral. Also the last season of The 100, you watch as Octavia completes her journey to becoming one of the meanest, worst antagonists in the show. And that's saying something. The other day I really thought about what other characters who have negative arcs there are but I honestly couldn't th
