Book three title announcement and more!
Alright! Finally back on the blog for an update! Things are going really well with first reader feedback on Book Three of my series. I’m expecting to hear from a few more readers by the end of the month, and after that, I’ll be reworking the book and getting it ready for a final draft!…

awaiting feedback
Two things to report! One: the first draft of Book Three of The Patch Project series is complete! It’s a book now! I’ve sent it out to first readers and am (totally not anxiously) awaiting feedback. Although I’m curious to hear how people find the book, I also like this period of waiting. I get…

ideas when they surfaced
After two weeks visiting family, I’m back in my office, listening to Cobra Poems, drinking coffee, and making plans. I didn’t get much writing done while I was away. I got back in the habit of carrying around a notebook and scribbling out ideas when they surfaced: waiting in the car, falling asleep, or early…

moving
A lot has happened in the last month! For one thing, our landlords have sold the house I’ve lived in for the past several years. We’re being evicted at the end of March, which is extremely inconvenient considering, you know, a global pandemic and all. Thankfully, we have wonderful friends who’ve given us support (and…

I’ve been working through The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp with an amazing group of creative folks. We meet up once a week to discuss thoughts and discoveries around each section of the book. So far, I’ve been challenged to think more intentionally and clearly about my own creative process, and have deeply benefited from hearing…

It’s been a great month of sharing, interviews, and discussions that have spanned blogs and Facebook pages (check out Justine Alley Dowsett, Sharon Ledwith, and Ben Van Dongen‘s blogs for a full recap) and I’m very happy to have been a part of…

The Patch Project, it’s happening
Five years ago, I wrote a novel. For a long time, it sat in my inbox, followed by a rejection email from an acquisitions editor who had shown interest in the early chapters. I had only shown the manuscript to one other person while I was writing it. Otherwise, I kept it close, told people…

post-show
I took some time off from writing. A play I wrote was onstage almost a month ago, and I thought a break would do me well. It’s draining and wonderful and humbling to be a part of any theatre production, and this one was no exception. The play is called Runaway, and was about a…
