Hello! How's it goin'? Living your best quarantine life? All joking aside, I hope you are taking time to take care of yourself. I know this is a stressful time for so many of us, and I pray for peace and tranquility for you. Personally, I'm kind of thriving. My Enneagram number is 5, so I love time on my own and not having obligations to go out and socialize or do anything. Though, I'm also learning how much I really do miss people, especially my church family. Today, I’m bringing you a writing update on Project Serenity! Here we go: Camp NaNo: I'm not doing well on my original plans…When I wrote my Camp NaNo goals, I was definitely not expecting what would be happening in the world throughout this month. You'd think that would mean that I'd get more writing done because all my weekend plans got cancelled throughout the month, and I’m working from home a few days a week…well, actually I've become a lot less motivated right now (I'm surely not the only one…). So all those things I planned to do? I didn't get around to most of it. BUT, I'm making progress! I've added a few thousand words to my project. I've started taking down a few of my sticky notes on my storyboard, and I'm over halfway through. Moving ForwardI've kind of hit a point in the book that is moving kind of slow. It's really important. It's the first "Pinch Point" with the main part of the story's conflict, and I'm trying to take care and make sure that I'm giving enough information, but not too much. Once I pass this point, I think it'll flow pretty quickly into the second pinch point. That might go a little slower as well, but then I really think it will gain some momentum and just roll to the end. I'm excited how the story is taking shape and fitting together. Especially with three points of view in the story, I'm impressed with how well it's fitting together and flowing from one point to the next. Fun MomentsSo, right before I went to write and post this today, I finished a section of the story, and I had a really fun moment.
This novel is a romance, with a strong basis in religion as well. But I just wrote one of the cheesiest romance lines ever. I definitely let out a laugh as I wrote it, and I had to make my down-to-earth and fun main character make fun of her romantic interest for saying it, of course! It's moments like these that I really wish I would write even more, because I love it when my characters come to life and surprise me. Though I don't think I'll reach my goal and finish Project Serenity by the end of April, I still hope to finish it here in the first half of 2020. I'm starting to pick up momentum again, and I can't wait to see how the story turns out. Let me know if you want more updates as I go…this is a fun process, and it's nice to share (and keep myself a little more accountable) on how I'm doing!

Author Not only do I love reading, but I also love to write. Writing is like any sport. You have to work out and practice. One way to do that is by reading, another is to just write. Here are some short stories that I've been writing to "exercise." Archives
