Brief Update

Hi guys!

Shortly after I started this author blog, real life got in the way and I was unable to write for about a month. I would try to write nightly, but I was never happy with how it turned out. I am pretty sure that it had to do with my inspiration disappearing on me. Frustrating of course, but I didn't force it. I took a bit of a break and then returned this week.

I am a really slow typist so anything over 3k words a day is a big deal for me. This week I started serious work on my YA Thriller and I've got a little bit over 11k words so far. Ideally, I'd like to be completely finished with this one by June or July at the absolute latest, and yes that would include revisions & edits.

I actually ended up adding an element to the book that I wasn't intending to add, so I was surprised when it happened. I'm excited to get this project and my other two projects off the ground. I still have other things to decide on when it comes to the book, but I am doing my research and taking my time with those decisions. I absolutely do not want to rush things, so I'm going slowly, soaking in this process and getting help and encouragement from some great authors.

Hoping to post a bit more frequently, ideally once a week, but we'll see what happens.
