New Year...More Writing

I hope everyone had a wonderful break and all holidays were well spent. As I've welcomed in 2018 I've made a small list of goals I would like to complete this year. A few of my goals are too personal to share on my blog, but I can share that I truly do plan to make more character videos about the Cassadine trilogy. I will be talking more about my new story that I'm working on, I may not be able to give a lot of details since it is a work in progress and I do not have my intellectual property clamped down on it, but there are a few themes and personal stories of my own that this particular novel is circled around that I think are important to speak up about. I don't want to hide a lot from people who are supporting me whether you're a family member, a past teacher, a friend, or one of my followers. I pour a lot of my heart into my writing, but part of gaining the trust of my followers is by being honest with them. I never want to compromise who I truly am for the sake of more readers or friends. If I'm going to do this I am going to do it with as much of my truth as I can share. I might not share everything all the time because there are other people involved in the story that is my life and I have to consider their feelings whenever I pick up a pen and paper or log into a new word document, but if there is anything I can share that is safe and appropriate then that is what I intend to do. So I invite anyone who is genuinely curious or anyone who may feel lonely to join in on a year full of writing, dreaming, and growing as an individual.

Sending a lot of love,

Happy Holidays!

As Christmas and other holidays approach I wanted to wish everyone Merry Christmas! I hope all holidays are celebrated with love and care. I thought I would share some pictures of the way my tree is decorated just for fun.

Happy Holidays! :)

Holiday Season

Since fall semester has ended I have dived myself back into nothing else except writing and spending quality time with my dear friends and family. While working on my next novel I realized I have to mention the holiday season in this particular story or else the plot gets a bit messy. This is how I came to the realization today that writing about holidays or elaborate celebrations are difficult! Imagery isn't the issue in this situation for me, but what has become an issue is trying to determine whether or not I've written far too much about the kinds of ornaments hanging from a tree or if I was too vague about the arrangement of presents. After reading over the same five pages and editing, I finally deleted about three pages and let out a sigh of frustration. Even though the next week or two are about to be filled with family visiting and friends hanging out, I'm still going to try to make fun updated post on here. I'm even considering sharing a few holiday pictures. I like to hope that through it all I finally make that one holiday scene in the new story just right.
