  • Beach Week Progress

    I thought it would be fun to keep everyone updated on my progress at the beach this upcoming week! I created a word meter where I can update how many words I’ve written on the revised version of Rival Demons. I’ve set a humongous goal for myself this next week! 40,000 words! It’s not going to be easy, but I know I can do it if I work really hard. Please check back throughout the week to see my progress. I’ll be updating it a few times per day. Feel free to leave encouraging messages for me, as I know…

  • Rival Demons News and The Beach

    Woohoo! I’m doing a dance over here, because I just finished my rough draft for RIVAL DEMONS! Yay!!! I can’t believe it’s finished! It feels so amazing to have the rough draft of my fifth book completed just shy of one year since I started the first book in the series! Wow, it’s amazing how much things have changed for me in this past year. So what’s next? Ah, the rewrites begin! For me, a rough draft is more of an exploration of where the story wants to go. I rarely use very much of it in the final book,…

  • Exciting News!

    There are several things I wanted to announce today.First of all, I am almost finished with the rough draft of Book 5! This is, actually, why I’ve come to a very big decision about the series that I sincerely hope you will be excited about. When I first started writing the Peachville High Demons series, I thought it would be a trilogy. Possibly four books at most. Then, in the middle of writing the rough draft for Book 3, I realized the story was much bigger than I ever imagined. The series grew to 5 books. Now that I’m almost…

  • My Write-a-palooza Rewards!

    I had a fun shopping day today at the Sanrio store in the Crabtree Valley Mall here in Raleigh! I spent almost exactly $84, lol, so there will be no HK collectipaks for me, but that’s okay. I’m super excited about what I bought!! Here’s a pic of my swag: I bought one of the new Hello Kitty canvas tote bags. It’s big enough to put my netbook in and some folders and pens, but it also fits over my shoulder, which is nice. I also got that cute HK t-shirt, three buttons (that I’ll probably put on my shoulder…

  • I did it!!

    It’s just shy of 2:00 AM and I’m calling it. Write-a-palooza is officially over! Originally, I started with a word count yesterday afternoon of 10,593 words. I was feeling down about how far behind I was on my rough draft, but now, I can say that I’m right back on track. Yesterday, I ended with a total word count of 15,644, meaning I wrote just over 5,000 words yesterday. Today, I ended with a grand total of 25,658 words!!! That means I wrote a total of 10,013 words today, with a 2 day total of 15,065 words. Wow! I don’t…
