Doing. Lots of work—both for Litfuse and on my book. Watching. Andy and I are currently in the middle of the last season of Hawaii Five-0 on Netflix. After which, I’ve been told to binge watch The 100. Planning. More grainy date night photos with E. Last week we went to dinner and movie. I’m thinking coffee and the book… Read More

TBR: May

TBR: May

It’s another TBR post (here’s my first TBR on finishing). I have another pile (packing up boxes of books will do that do you. Suddenly there is the overwhelming urge to read all the books before you pack them . . .) Also, there are so many new books coming out this month, and I honestly can’t justify buying them….

Mr. You-Can’t-Do-It

Mr. You-Can’t-Do-It

    The struggle with self-doubt and “Mr. You-Can’t-Do-It” is real tonight (Sunday) so I decided to pull this pep talk from the archives.  When I was eleven years old, I decided that I wanted to be the youngest romance writer ever (are you laughing yet?) I have stacks and stacks, files and files of character sketches, book ideas, outlines—tons… Read More

What I’m Reading

What I’m Reading

An Uncertain Choice | Jody Hedlund: This one was a fun, entertaining read. A sappy romance where the heroine having to choose between three knights or be confined to a nunnery forever—oh and she must do it in a month. It’s a clean Christian YA fiction . . . and (I have this beef with most Christian YA) it seemed… Read More

What we are reading

What we are reading

I love reading to my kids. I love (hopefully) instilling a love for the written word in them while they are young (their daddy hates reading and hates books—I can’t let that trait pass on to them can I?). This month we’re reading a fun book about a spunky little boy name Rasmus. Written by the same author as Pippi… Read More

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.
