Some people have asked me if my stories ever evolve into something different than I was expecting. Or if my stories ever change as I’m writing them. Sometimes they do slightly, other times quite a bit. Did you want to see what the changes for one sto...

I wrote 60k words in one month. That was in March. I’ve never written that much in a month before and didn’t really think I could ever do it. I mean, that’s practically writing an entire novel in a month! That’s just crazy! But I did it. And I learne...

Yesterday was my birthday. I wanted to do something fun, like a tag! I found this one on Kate Willis’s delightful blog, and since it looked fun, I decided I’d grab it.. Count your birthday along your bookshelf and then subtract your birth month. Whic...
