I've been quiet. Not only on the blog but also in general. When I pop up out of the blue on my socials, I often get people sending me DM's asking where the heck I've been and it's so good to see me after so long. Well, here's the thing...
Update on my first Writing Challenge
I didn't win, but I got excellent feedback... So, it's been a hot second since I last posted on here. Sorry, it's been a crazy few months. I was not made to homeschool. Seriously! I know, I know - this is really the tip of the iceberg in the grand scheme of things. But IContinue reading "Update on my first Writing Challenge"

The challenge was to write a short story of no more than 3000 words. I had ten days afterContinue reading "First Writing Challenge"

I just feel like some books are best left to the readers' imagination. If that make a lick of sense. I have often felt rather disappointed when aContinue reading "From Book to Movie"
When my characters change physically
I came across this post the other day and I literally snort-laughed. It was funny because in Red Carpets & Wellingtons, I started out with a story board, I had my main characters planned out to the tee! Henry was always going to have those jellyfish blue eyes, complimented nicely by his black curly hair.Continue reading "When my characters change physically"
