Chaos Managed..

This year I am using Scrivener to write my NaNoWriMo novel. I downloaded the free trial, but I think I am already convinced. Typically, I jump right into something new and figure it out along the way. Scrivener begged me not to do that, so I read the entire tutorial on the use of theContinue reading “Chaos Managed..”

Feeling all the Feels…

I\’ve been thinking a lot about my characters. Where do I want to begin this story? How will they meet? How much do I put into this story? All of these questions lead me to more questions and while I realize these questions only make sense to me here\’s what they sound like in myContinue reading “Feeling all the Feels…”

Cover Me Happy!

It\’s NaNoPrep month, so I\’m working on what I need to get this novel out in November. Tonight, I created the book cover. I used a lotus flower, wings, and some energy stuff.

I wrote a novel of just over 50,000 words titled \”Bleak.\” Since that time, I\’ve done little to further this wonderful novel. I still adore it and feel as passionately about the book asContinue reading “NaNoWriMo2015 is Coming!”

Back to the Beginning

It\’s been 2 and 1/2 years since I posted here. It\’s been about that long since I\’ve reviewed my story. I finally pulled it out of storage. It looks the same: 150 pages of 50,000 words, chapters separated with clips, post-it notes of green and yellow peeking from the sides. I don\’t remember what theContinue reading “Back to the Beginning”
