Blog Posts

I have a lot of thoughts and often have trouble keeping them to myself. Sometimes they get posted on social media, but that's not always the correct forum.

Late yesterday, I finished my last set of edits on Her Violet Empire. I am officially walking away, calling it text-complete.

What exactly prompted me to start this today, I couldn’t say. I think it was probably just to convince myself that I would actually follow through with it.
