I had quite a productive month. I am one scene shy of being done. I wrote an ending just to get something down on paper, but...

I made great progress to the halfway point, right up until school swung up into full gear and the tomato vines hung heavy with fruit.

I haven't been writing long enough to have a good feel for my word count goals. I randomly chose 100,000 as my end goal...

For me, there is nothing like watching a number and a chart rise to a finale. I have been making progress through the first draft...

I recently had an opportunity to beta read a plotting book. I have been trying to up my plotting game ...

I entered a very short story last quarter to the Writer's of the Future contest. And as expected I didn't make the cut.

After a few false starts, I finally found the right starting point for the next character arc I pulled from my main novel outline.

This April has to have been the strangest one so far. I have managed to get some writing done but I don't feel nearly as productive as usual

After workshopping one of my short stories and receiving positive feedback, I decided I want to begin submitting to Writers of the Future.

While it took a little longer than I expected I did reach the final scene of the novel. I am now going through and looking for plot holes.

I feel like I did quite a bit this year considering I just started up writing after a long break. I finished one book.

I feel like it has taken me some time to find an outlining process that works for me. I seemed to stumble over this for quite some time.

Wars of the Roses meets aerial combat. Add in some magic, break the world (a lot), and my story begins to come together. 'Stones of Change'
