Are you ready? It's the start of Q4 and the end of Q3, literally only 31 days until Halloween (Samhain), and the start of what I continue to call "Preptober" in anticipation of Sarra Cannon's 'Rough Draft Challenge' . Now if only the weather would cooperate. As with last year I will not be officially joining the rough draft challenge via their site, but I will try to make it a practice to write about 10,000 words a week or 5 2,000 word days. I will not only have my little tru

I am not in favor of someone generating AI and then claiming it's their own original work,

Pumpkin spice lattes, apples, wheat stalks, maple leaves, college football, bonfires, the lower frequency of crickets, and an all around more woodsy feel for me overall.

While nothing is ever guaranteed, I am hoping to get a pretty polished draft of Book 2 established by the end of the year, maybe even GASP a release date?! But to make that happen, I will need to do a few things.

With the unintentional symbiotical I took over the summer to look for a new full time job and focus on my writing, one would think that I am refreshed and motivated to "get back at it" or "hit the ground running" or even dare I say "relax." None of that happened.

Obviously I have a lot to write about but sometimes there are things that get in the way of my writing time, like the day job, or looking for a new job, or deep cleaning and decluttering my apartment. But here are somethings that I'm trying to do to keep with with what I want to accomplish.

Thats right! I have the next book in the Mississippi River Pack series, staring Nada, Zikie, the Mississippi River pack and a few new characters!

I reveal in Book 2 that there is a lot a green house in near the back of the Mississippi Wolf Pack manor. That is of course inspired by my own dream garden. As I live in a "city town" - my container garden will have to do.

Hot in the since of weather of course, but also in the since of will my books ever be noticed? Will I ever find a community? Enter the idea of Patreon.

As with NaNoWriMo before it, I have set out to complete at least 50k in 30 days. This did not happen for me for various reasons but the number one reason being....life.

That's right! Book 2 is off to the editor and now I have to sit and wait patiently for the feedback and work on Book 3! Which seems like it will come to me a lot easier than Book 2 did.

I'm not sure if the second part is true but it is defiantly an end of an era.

Why is everyone jumping ship? And are they really or does it just seem like so?

However some just don't just have that same 'wow' that the original challenge had......Enter The Rough Draft Challenge...

2025 is here and I hope that you are as excited as I am about the new energy and fresh start magic that the New Year season seems to bring.

Today I will do a mini preview into 3 villain characters of the Mississippi River Pack series:
