Want to read Project Grinch first? 

While I don’t have a lot to tell you about the storyline, the general idea is if the Grinch and Buddy the Elf were stuck on a roadtrip together at Christmas time (the Grinch is female in this story!) 

If you like YA fiction, rom-coms, and Christmas stories, you hopefully will enjoy Project Grinch.

That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened. 

I’m really glad I didn’t. To be honest, this person wasn’t wrong. At the time I wasn’t very good at writing. It was early on in my career. Hearing that I should give up was a punch to my gut and I had two choices. 

I could listen, and not write ever again.

OR

I could buckle down and get better. 

I chose to get better. I still don’t think I’ve “arrived” but I am a lot better than I was then. 

So this is me telling you — don’t ever stop dreaming, don’t ever stop learning, and don’t take bad advice. 

You got this. I’m cheering for you.
