I just realized that my blog set a new record on New Year’s Eve. Over 18,000 people stopped by that day to get New Year inspiration! I love this because I LOVE New Year’s SO MUCH, and it shows! (I’m also really good at SEO. 😊)
I’ll link to the two hot posts below.

📚✨ Book fact: In the U.S. & Canada 🇺🇸🇨🇦, books don’t sell themselves — visibility sells books.

Strategic marketing, reader reviews, and consistent exposure help great stories reach the right audience 👀📖

We don’t write because it’s easy.
We write because it won’t leave us alone.

If no one’s reading yet, you’re still a writer.
The work comes first. The noise later.

Even after going through 5 rounds of editing and multiple beta reads, you still find those gems!

I'm keeping up a good pace again this year. Already at 25k+ for the year and we're at day 6. Work the next 3 days, but still plan to get words.

Started the morning with some exercise before outside becomes an oven (42C expected today). Took child to an activity, and now I’m ensconced and ready for writing. I’ll do my warm up writing and then it’s onto the novel.

Planning has begun on book 10! Double digits! I can wait to unravel Isabelle and Rémy’s story and frustrate myself with fitting it nicely into the trilogy timeline.

✅ Woo hoo! Clearing the to-do list like a madwoman! ✅

I checked off several maintenance items on my to-do list today. Nothing minor, but things that I'd been putting off. Mostly around updating links to my books.

This year I chose to do something different. I chose to challenge myself in a way I’d never done before. I’m making a children’s picture book.
I will be posting updates throughout the year this project will take a lot of time.

I WILL get back to #writing the rest of my 10th book, but this is the first real break I've been able to have in two damn years, so I'm taking advantage.

Quick reader question:
Do you prefer jumping into a new SFF series before it’s finished…
or wait to see if all the planned books drop?
