Behind The Pen

April. April 30th, 2018 was the last time I posted. 😱 I AM SO SORRY, GUYS! THIS IS SO BAD OF ME! After April, the whole busyness of summer sorta kicked in and, after that, I never got back into the daily rhythm of blogging and weekly posting. I hereby take complete responsibility for this lack of posting. I can only hope that you guys haven't completely left me after I was gone for so long and that you still read and enjoy this blog. SO, that being said! Where have I been and what have I been doing? Here are some things that have happened in my life since posting- I turned 15 in May My wonderful baby brother was born I went to an AMAZING camp (Shoutout to Camp Victory! 🙌)  We had our last year of the Bible Conference we go to These are just a few of my non-writing highlights since the last update on life.  A few things that happened in my writing life are-  I became a Community Assistant on Y-dubs I completed the first draft...

Hey, guys! I'm back! (But you already knew that since you're here reading this right now and you had to click on the post to read it) I'm really sorry It's taken me so long to get back to writing on my blog but the good news is, I have plans for some series coming up in the future (Now I just need to make those plans come to life!) So, what's been going on since my last post? Well, for one thing, I reached over 20,000 words in my current WIP! At 23,800 words+ my novella is slowly reaching its end (I still have a fair bit to go, though!). I'm SO happy I got this far and, for a novella that started out just as a short story, it's continually shocked me to see how much I've written! I couldn't have done it without God's amazing love and help, along with the amazing assistance of the YWW (And my awesome Alpha readers... and my family support. So, a few things actually!)!!! Speaking of the YWW... (Points to me for the amazing transition...

So, yea. I didn't post on Saturday. Bummer. Sorry about that, guys! But there's news. Big news. Amazing news. Fantastic news. Brilliant news. (My apologies for the excessive adjectives and repetition) You may or may not know that my current WIP has been the longest project I've ever worked on and today I crossed over a massive milestone with it. I crossed the line of short story and novelette! My story is actually, really, finally, a novelette (There you go, have some more excessive adjectives!) This may not seem a that amazing, but trust me, it is! I have written 7,768 words. When this is all finished there will be some words replaced, taken away, added, fixed, edited, and changed, but what matters right now is that I have actually written seven thousand, seven hundred, and sixty-eight words(Wow, it seems even longer when typed out in word form!). It's no longer a small project. It's big and it's getting even bigger. I'm learning so much an...
