I finished my creative retreat with a bang by spending a glorious, peaceful, and productive week at @ManorandMaker for a #NaNoWriMo writing retreat! LOTS of cheese was eaten, LOTS of tea was prepared, and LOTS of novel plotting and planning and researching was done. -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- CATCH UP ON MY CREATIVE RETREAT: A Valiant Attempt at Preptober | Creative Retreat -...

The first half of 2023 has seen LOTS of writing sessions, huge writing milestones, and making BIG decisions on many of my projects. This summer in particular has been a great one for a certain ~mystery~ novel I'm writing...

It took me six months, but really, it's taken me four years, but really it's taken me 13.5 years, but really it's taken me my whole life, but really... -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- RECENT & RELEVANT VIDEOS Writing in 5 Japanese Cities | Japan Vlog # 2 ruclips.net/video/n0CrgYLj8GI/видео.html Getting all the story inspiration in Yakushima! | Japan Vlog #3 ruclips.net/video/z6Tln...

Here it is! The last of the Japan writing vlogs series. If you've watched them all, I really appreciate it! It can be very difficult to write while traveling and moving about a lot, but I managed to get some scenes churned out, even at the expense of my sanity sometimes. But it all worked out! And the novel is almost done! (With this draft, anyway...) -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-...

I cannot express how blissed out I was on this island and how I feel every time I reminisce about this place. Visiting the island where my characters live was everything I wanted and more. I had never felt CLOSER to them. I kept feeling like I could run into them at every turn. It was truly magical, and I learned so much! And before you ask, yes "Princess Mononoke" is set on this island, and no...

Something about that Kanazawa castle statue garden got my poetry juices flowing... We visited 5 cities this vlog: Kanazawa, Shirakawa-go, Kyoto, Kumamoto, & Kagoshima -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- RECENT & RELEVANT VIDEOS Writing a Novel in Tokyo and Aomori | Japan Vlog #1 ruclips.net/video/q35_kJjqp6I/видео.html 2 Weeks in Singapore | Writing Vlog ruclips.net/video/6HzD1FSX02c/...

Rewatching this is making me sad I ever had to leave Japan! It is such an incredible and varied country. It has more mountains and rivers than it has any right to have! Anyway...I got back into a bit of a writing groove, which mainly consisted of moving scenes and chapters around in the name of progress, even though I was falling waaaay behind on my schedule to finish this draft. But your girl ...

Way delayed vlog, but we stayed 2 weeks in Singapore! Singapore is a small city/country, and we didn't realize how close to the equator it was. It was so hot it made us love the heat, which if you know me, is baffling. I got so caught up in exploring that writing took a backseat, which is okay! I fell behind, but I have a feeling things will work out... (stay tuned for the next few travel/writi...
