I've been busier than ever and making moves. I just finished the Writer's Digest Retreat in London and the RMFW conference, where I made new contacts and gained new opportunities. Writing is tough, y'all. It's networking, learning, and creating. Big things are coming.

I submitted a short story for publication. We'll see if it gets picked up. Now that I'm done with school, the writing will be ramping up.

I'm working through these last two weeks of school, but I wrote the first 1k words on the new project. Someone said it sounds like The Handmaid's Tale meets Tron 🤔

I've been mostly finishing this last grad class and catching up on spring cleaning, but I started working on a little synopsis for something.

I started a scene in a new untitled book. I just couldn't keep this idea at bay.

I figured it was time. Time for a lot of things. I'm working on a new short story featuring a cursed object. I'm kind of loving taking breaks from my science fiction and fantasy novels by writing short dark stories.

I also finally left Threads for good.

I'm still here. I really need to get off FB. I'm doing my last semester of grad school but hope to continue editing soon

Got to hang with my critique group at a writing conference. It was a great and successful time.

Heading out to the RMFW conference soon. It’s sure to be a wild and fun weekend!
This is what I’ll look like at the end of it.

Not much going on in the writing area lately. I started school and am getting oriented on that, finishing reading a book, and looking forward to starting a new book for a friend.
