In my WIP Salandrine, the country’s ruled first and foremost by the royal family’s head: their queen, and Salandrine’s mom, Noreen. She has her advisors,… Read More Writing progress update: Salandrine
It seems like summer is coming to an end and making way for autumn! Honestly, warm and sunny weather is nice, but this has been the hottest summer I can remember and it has been a struggle.

Working on Salandrine has been a whole new endeavor for me. I’ve accepted that it’d grown into a larger project than intended and that I needed to focus on finishing it before other WIPs. It’s been hard though. As I learn more about my writing process and what I need to put out good work, I… Read More Writing Progress Update
Another month has passed, and like the previous, this month was a mixed bag concerning my writing. I’ve been sick a lot, had executive dysfunction that made me feel my brain had entered eternal lag, and self-doubt that made me wonder what the hell was the point of even trying.
