Writers helping other writers

This is a rough concept I have in mind. I’m putting this here as a placeholder to remind myself to do it—when life is a bit less busy. I’m a firm believer in community over competition and I love helping writers. I plan to create some blog segments or reference pages for aspiring authors to help them along their journey—whether… Read More

And now…onto draft three and to trimming the fat o And now…onto draft three and to trimming the fat on this VERY hefty lady. 😬😜🫠👍👍 One step closer to publishing book two in my Hollywood Hills series. 🙌 

This manuscript grew by 12,000 words with this draft. 😆 My longest draft and manuscript…ever. Soooo send prayers and a keen and decisive eye for cutting my precious “darling” chapters, because this girl is going to have to get vicious with her cuts. 😜

I’ve so loved getting to know Luke and Wren’s story better. I think you’re going to love their pop star/bodyguard romance!! 🤩

I slow-roll into publishing and keep a closer schedule to traditionally published novels. So this baby won’t be hitting the shelves until summer 2027. But I hope to share more and more in the coming months!

Who can relate??? This is to my other fellow perfe Who can relate??? This is to my other fellow perfectionist writer friends: I am a firm believer in there being such a thing as spending TOO much time on a project and losing your zeal for it. As the saying goes you’re likely: you’re beating a dead horse. 

You’ve captured the story to the best of your ability in the snap shot of time you were in. Now, it’s time to move on to the next one. 

This goes even when you tire of working on a single scene or chapter to the point that you don’t even like it anymore—then STEP AWAY. Get some perspective. Return to it when you haven’t exhausted yourself working on it. 

Just like seasons, we can tire of one and it’s okay to be ready for the next one! We love each for what they are, but staying in one too long can kill your creativity.
