Checking In

I know. I know. It's been a month or so since I've posted on the blog. Honestly, I've just been so busy writing and revising that I haven't had time to come up with anything witty or entertaining to say here. And after all, that's the point of all this, yeah? To first and foremost focus on the writing career, and then supplement with the blog. Unfortunately, the supplementing has gone to the wayside.

This past month I've read some fantastic books. ELEANOR & PARK and FAN GIRL, both by Rainbow Rowell. She's definitely becoming one of my fave authors. I highly recommend both if you enjoy YA contemporary.


I saw one of the most spectacular figure skating performances I've seen in a long time (basically since they changed the judging system), and it brought tears to my eyes to see this humble, talented man bring an arena to their feet. Definitely rooting for him at the Olympics.




I'd love to stay and share and chat more. But I've got to get back to work on my Book Map. I'm participating in Editor Cheryl Klein's (Arthur Levine Books) Plot Intensive at the SCBWI Springmingle in March. I'm so excited to take my MG Sci-Fi and strengthen its plot at this workshop.

I wish everyone a wonderful day and Happy Writing!

    1. I miss your story Cynthia! How are Kiki and the crew doing on reality cooking show?
      Orion and Inger have been doing well--minus a small meltdown I had with them last week. LOL.
