I hit the 25% complete mark tonight! That’s always a fun one. This is when it starts to really get going for me. Of course, I’m speaking from the experience of only one completed novel before this one so maybe I don’t know what I’m talking about. But if experience from the last one [...]

Yesterday was the release of Rites of Spring (Break), the third installment of Diana Peterfreund’s Secret Society Girl series. I bring this up for two reasons.

I was sitting here taking a quick break from the WIP, and I was trying to come up with a blog post for the day. Unfortunately, nothing came to mind other than today’s experiences with the world of agents and writing.
First, nudging. To do or not to do? I think this depends on the agent. [...]

I’ve been making some pretty good progress on the new WIP this week. The plot and characters have really gotten fleshed out, and I did an exercise to see how I was coming along with the overall story. I wrote a two paragraph summary of the novel, much like how a query letter should sound. [...]

For dinner, I had one of my favorite meals ever. A falafel pita sandwich, with hummus of course. Before I picked it up from the little restaurant, I had been contemplating cooking dinner myself. But I decided I wanted a falafel, and I don’t cook those. It might be one of my favorite things to [...]
