What I’m Reading

title: And Only to Deceive author: Tasha Alexander genre: Adult (shocking I know); Historical Fiction thoughts so far: I’m loving this book. It’s like Jane Austen + a murder mystery, only, not.

Making Time To Write

So I’m reading this book (I know. . . big surprise right?) Pen on Fire: A Busy Woman’s Guide to Igniting the Writer Within. So far I’m liking it, like a ton. There are lots of different writing exercises at the end of each short chapter, and for once I’m actually doing the exercises (most of them anyways). One of the… Read More
