I don't know how to review this book. It was magnificent and heartbreaking. I'll just transcribe some of the thoughts I had as I was reading and as nonspoilery as possible: (annoyingly, I can't figure out how to see the page numbers of these thoughts, only the...
Happy Monday, you guys! I'm excited to start another week! Last week was good, but I just barely squeaked through and met my work count. My goal is 5k words a week, and on Friday, I still had over 3k to go. I headed out to Target for the first time in ages so I...
We play a lot of games here in the Williams’s household. Pre-kids, Spreadsheet Guy and I would get together with friends several times a month. We don’t get to do that as often now, but the minions are getting older, they’re learning how to read, and they’re getting a...
October was a 25,000 word month! The first in, like, forever. I'm feeling pretty good about myself. lol But it's not lost on me that many authors do this much in a week. I just...can't. I don't even want to do more. I mean, sure, it would be nice to double that...

Happy Monday, everyone! I had a FANTASTIC weekend! Got about 6,800 words written on Kennedy Rain's book, which is about what I write during a good week (I need a lot more "good" writing weeks!). I've come to terms with my slow deliberate writing, thanks to Becca Syme....
Writing retreat starts tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yall, I can't tell you how much I love these retreats. This is the third one, and I cannot wait. I drive about an hour north of my home to meet up with writers from the Dallas Area Romance Authors, and we stay in a house...
I found the book of my dreams, guys! I am so freaking in love with it. With EVERYTHING in it! It's perfect. So perfect! Everything I want to happens happens. Things I didn't know I wanted to happen happen too. And the characters are all amazing. I'm in love! The first...
If you're born in the south, or at least in Texas, there's a good chance you refer to any can of soda as a coke. If we're at a restaurant and I tell Spreadsheet Guy to order me a coke, he knows I don't mean Coke. I hate straight-up Coke. When I say coke, it means Diet...
