It's been awhile...

Hello all,

I know it's been awhile since I last updated this blog, but I've had so much going on lately.

That said, I did manage to finish reading A Clockwork Orange, and as soon as I find time, I'm going to read Life of Pi. As for my writing, The Middle of the Sidewalk is still with the publisher, and the book I'm writing for NaNo (The Sons of Luther) is only 7,000 words long (I know, I know, I have only 4 days left of November to finish it, but midterms ate away all my time, along with maintaining my Etsy shop, planning my wedding, managing the BU Creative Writing Club, and applying for jobs).

*Phew. Well now that I've listed out all of my excuses, I must find time to write somehow. Thank you all again for being so supportive of my work. The thing that most motivates me to write is knowing I have readers.

I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving. Blessings.

Onward & Upward,

Off to the Publisher! "The Middle of the Sidewalk"

Hello all,

It's been awhile since my last blog post, but that doesn't mean I've been on vacation. I've finished the final version of "The Middle of the Sidewalk" (read a sample of it here), and I just emailed it to the publisher this morning! I want to thank my amazing editors for all their hard work and for challenging me to become a better author. I couldn't have finished this book without them:

Becca Boddy
Christopher Mikkelson
Ramona Fricke

I've also been working hard on maintaining the BU Creative Writing Club. It seems to be going well! The members have told me they're gleaning a lot from what we've been teaching, and I'm very excited about our meeting tonight (We'll be talking about finding an agent and getting published)!

Finally, since it's NaNoWriMo, I'm already 6,000 words into the re-write of my first book, "The Sons of Luther." Hopefully this version will be even more terrifying after the inspiration I've gotten from Anthony Burgess' "A Clockwork Orange." (Scary stuff, that book. I strongly recommend it!).

Thank you to all of you who read my posts and are there to encourage me. I have everything to thank you for.

Onward and Upward,
