I'm going to be honest with you: I haven't been reading much this year. Based on things I've been reading on social media, it seems as though I'm not alone in this.

In May, I took a trip with my family to Yellowstone, which was amazing and relaxing (well, minus the 32 hour drive there and back!).… Continue reading hello darkness my old friend…
It took me a little while to figure out what to write about this week. Work and school have been keeping me too busy to work on my book much (boo), and I haven't read a new ARC yet. So here's a short update about what I'll be doing next! I just finished reading Screenwriting for… Continue reading What’s Next For Me
Hello! Long time, no post 🙂 Well, in personal updates, anyway. I'm trying to be better about keeping up this blog. Maybe, if I post once a week, it'll keep me motivated to actually get things done! The last you heard from me, I was entering PitchWars. I wasn't chosen as a mentor, but I… Continue reading Revision Update: IN THE SHADOW OF THE NECROPOLIS
