    Monthly Book Review – (December/January)

    January 25, 2018 /

    Welcome to a (relatively) new monthly series where I post about my latest reads and recommendations! I am a bit behind so this includes reads from December of 2017 and what I have completed so far in January of 2018. I am catching up on my ever-growing-to-be-read-list and this time I have THREE books for you! First, we will talk about Nicole Tone’s collection of poetry entitled Secrets of the High Priestess. I met Nicole on Twitter a few years ago and watched her publishing journey. This is my second book to read of Nicole’s and the first poetry collection I have read in a long time. But goodness this spoke to me…

    December 29, 2017 /

    I am FREAKING OUT. But in a good way. [sorry for the ensuing caps and shouting that ensues…] Seriously. I AM GOING TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR. My trilogy THE HAVLVES OF US (THOU) will be published by The Parliament House Press with my debut novel coming out in Winter 2018!

    Update: My Writing and Photography Worlds Collide

    June 28, 2016 /

      I have been doing these writing challenges with a close friend of mine. The other day, one of the questions was to pick a single word that describes your personality – and tell why you picked that word. A single word swirled around in my mind – DETERMINED. I think that describes me pretty well in all aspects of my life. Honestly, I don’t like being told I can’t accomplish something I want to because of my age, inexperience or sex – and that has always driven me. I want to learn – I want to grow. And whether it’s successfully moving out on my own when I was younger, befriending…

    My Writing World Status: Insecurities, the Submission Process and Too Much Ice Cream…

    March 24, 2016 /

    So I thought I would do a post to catch you up on where I am in the submission process – how I am feeling about it all…and answer the question I get asked often now – when is your book getting published? My last round of submissions went out earlier this week (minus a few folks, whom she still has out other submissions by other authors with and they can only submit one at a time to editors). Quick recap – Late summer/early fall of last year, I signed with my Literary Agent, Rebecca Angus at Golden Wheat Literary (read about that here). We revised my first novel, The…

    Author Blog Post – The Results of my FIRST NaNoWriMo…

    December 3, 2015 /

    A month ago I was in my home office, updating my dry erase board calendar. I drew small black rectangles in the box of each day and convinced myself I could do it. By it, I mean participate in my first NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). November was National Novel Writing Month and the goal is get 50,000 words written (average of 1700 words a day). I made my own personal goal of just trying to write every day (even if I didn’t reach the 1700 word mark) and attempt to reach 50,000 words by the end of the month. I started off pretty good, and had some fantastic days…

    NaNoWriMo – Let’s try and do this…

    November 3, 2015 /

    November is a busy month – there is Thanksgiving and my wedding anniversary. Plus my younger sister’s birthday (which she won’t let me forget about…she’s going to be 14 so birthdays are still awesome).This time of year is also when I photograph the Huntsville Heart Walk and family/portrait sessions get booked pretty fast with the holidays getting closer and graduation (I live in a college town). And on top of ALL that, for the first time I have decided to participate in NaNoWriMo. What is that? It is national novel writing month! Yes, you attempt to write a novel in a month…well the collective goal seems to be to reach…

    Announcement!!! – How I got my Agent, Rebecca Angus with Golden Wheat Literary

    September 25, 2015 /

    This year I did not take on as much photography projects that I normally do – but for another passion  that is near and dear to my heart – I focused on my storytelling, my writing. See, as I mentioned in my previous posting – I wrote a manuscript and I have been editing it like crazy and sending it out on submission. It is a harrowing task (believe it or not) – preparing the query letter, a single page letter that will entice an agent to ask to read your page and possibly represent you. One that started for me back in November of 2014. Rejection is a part…
