Welcome to THE CHECK-IN, where you can get a sneak peek into my writing progress every week! Read on to find out what I’m working on and how things are progressing in my world.
Here’s the breakdown:
- Lonely is the Night – Continued steady progress forward on this draft! And I’ve just found out that I’m going to have some Retreat-level writing time at the beginning of July (two weeks to do nothing but write – I am so excited!) so I’m more confident than I was before that I can get this draft finished up by the end of next month!
- Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch… – YES! A new Work-In-Progress has entered the chat! I don’t want to say too much about the project at this stage (it’s super, super new, very baby) but I will say that this particular book concept was birthed out of my lifelong love of westerns and my desire to make them queer and cozy AF. Shout out to my S.O. Phil for developing this plot bunny with me!
Getting back into a more normal writing routine has been…nice doesn’t quite cover it. It’s been exactly what I needed, while at the same time being kind of intimidating and scary. It’s hard to sit down at the computer and write everyday. But it is also enormously satisfying and fun. I’m really proud of the progress I’ve made in Lonely and beyond excited with all the planning I’ve been doing for Meanwhile…. It makes me wish this whole balancing act of business and writing was easier. As it is, I can only hope that with practice and time I’ll get better at it!
LESSON OF THE WEEK: LET YOURSELF BE EXCITED BY NEW THINGS!
