I’ve spent a week curled up with comfort books and video games. Yesterday, I started climbing back to the world. That means starting in, genuinely, on the TBR pile. Become a Patron today!

The Hero’sJourney is a concept we’re all familiar with, whether we know it or not. Some stories follow it closely (Lord of the Rings or Star Wars), others not so much. There are faults and failings within it (and within Joseph Campbell’s less than equal attitude about women), but knowing more about the monomyth can help you read more deeply, and write more actively aware of the tropes incorporated within your story. (Also tropes are not a dirty word!) Want to help fund a novel? Become a Patron today!

I received some absolutely gorgeous flowers which I felt needed to be showcased with a quote that easily sums up the slow burn nature of the romance in ‘The Dying Sun’. One of the issues I want to tackle with the relationship between Merikh and Loralee is: how do you build a healthy relationship with a massive power imbalance? Want to help fund a novel?

Woke up this morning to a migraine, but in better news yesterday went excellently. I’ve been struggling with the prologue for The Pantheon Prophet. Yesterday, I finished the prologue and killed a dragon. It’s such a relief to have it complete. Oh, and I finally got around to dyeing my hair purple again. Want to help fund a novel?

I’ve run out of boxes, but have books still to ship! And for some reason, my husband doesn’t like my idea of ordering more books off my TBR pile so I can use those boxes to ship off my books 🤔 I think my plan is genius personally!

I read and loved The Lottery once as a kid, and I adore The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix. So naturally when it came to my latest book haul, a collection of Shirley Jackson novels and stories was a must. Want to help fund a novel? Become a Patron today!

Happy Sunday! I hope you all get to start August with the same level of relaxation our little Kanan feels. July was a rollercoaster for me. Birthday—always a yay! But my body broke what felt like every other day, making it difficult to work. That said, plot holes were found and are in the process of being patched. New projects like Scribe’s Journey have started and I’m over the moon excited for it. What are your plans for August? How was your July? Want to help fund a novel? Become a Patron today!

“What do you mean this is a manuscript? It’s a cat bed.” — Kanan, probably. I found quite the snarl in a subplot today. It means complete rewrites for a couple chapters, and moving a bunch of characters around. It’s not a discouraging thing to realize—finding the Swiss cheese in your plot is awesome, even if sometimes holes need a backhoe to fix. Want to help fund a novel? Become a Patron!
