NaNoWriMo Wrap Up + Blogging Hiatus

*squeals* GUYYYYYYS. This has seriously been the best writing month ever. I mean, I participated in Camp NaNo this past July (and it was an epic fail...), but this was my first time doing NaNoWriMo, and wow. I just can't believe the progress I made. The progress you guys made! It's been so awesome hearing…

10 Reasons to be Thankful + NaNoWriMo Update

Has anyone else been seeing Christmas trees in people's windows since the beginning of the month? Anyone else feel like we've got some people who are eager for Christmas to get here? Seems a little like that to me 😛 But. We've still got a little while to wait. And next week is Thanksgiving Day!…

NaNoWriMo + November Goals

Sooooooo, after a lot of back and forth over whether or not I should do it, whether or not I would have time, whether it would help me along or stress me out...I have decided to do NaNoWriMo! This is my first year to participate in NaNoWriMo. I did Camp back in July (and failed…

Writing Update 3

I found out fast that one does not simply expect to write a whole first draft and half another over the first month of school, while you're trying to juggle school, music, basketball, and living. It's just not happening. We'll see if I even have anything to do for Camp NaNo. I did better the…

Top Things I’ve Learned About Writing.

Having published my first book, I'm moving on to other projects. But, as I've said before, I had no clue what I was doing the first time around. I started writing with no intention of publishing, or even showing it to anyone (that was very early on, of course). So, my thought wasn't, "If I'm gonna…

Outlining + School Prep

It's August. What?? Like, how is that even possible? It was just June...? And I only thought I was done being busy. Turns out, when the busy-ness is over, the summer won't just be almost over, school will be starting!!!  I really need to get back into a good routine so I can be more…

Camp NaNo – WRAP UP (July ’17)

So, this was my first time to do Camp NaNoWriMo, and I was going to be working on my first draft for Will: The Homeschool Kids. But it has been a busy month. I don't know what the deal is, but my summer is most always busier than my school year. So when all of…

Sweet Sixteen

So two big things kind of happened this week... First off, I turned 16!!!! Oh my word, it's insane. Like, how am I not still 12? How? I don't even know. Time just flies by so fast, and that just kind of really hit me when I was 11. So like, every year, I hate…

A New Chapter {or Draft}

So...I have officially started working on the first draft of my second book. Will: The Homeschool Kids. I have not yet completed Daisy: The Homeschool Kids, but it is being edited (getting really close!), so I decided to begin my next WIP. I'm really excited to be starting this for several reasons: Working on the same story for…

Camp Nano – July

I have decided to participate in Camp NaNoWriMo this July!!! This will be my very first time- I'm super excited, and while I won't be doing much this first week due to church camp, I can't wait to get started!  My project will be the first draft of the second book in my series- Will:…
