Weekly Progress

I’m thrilled to announce that as of yesterday I have completed one binder of edits, began world building for my new novel and started formatting my poetry book.

🖤It’s been two months since I started the edits of Fatalities and let me tell you… the second draft is the hardest to write. There are things i’m taking out and putting in constantly. It’s a wonderful experience but definitely time consuming. I’m halfway through the book now!

🖤I’ve decided not to reveal much for my newest novel i’m writing because it has lived in my brain consistently the last few days. I’m so excited to give you some glimpses, but for now all you guys get is “little turtle dove”….

🖤 AS FOR “The Art Beneath the Cage”, I’m formatting it to the best of my abilities. We are on a time crunch rolling through it all. I still have to add some more poems, but it’s on the right path! I’m aiming for publishing on Amazon!

🖤New update- I am building a website for some exclusive editions in the future. More to come at the beginning of 2025… possibly Christmas time 🤞🏻

2024/9/23 Edited to

In this week's update, I reflect on my writing journey, specifically the challenges of completing the second draft of my novel 'Fatalities'. It’s an intricate process involving constant revisions that require dedication and creativity. Additionally, I delve into the excitement of world-building for my upcoming novel, still under wraps for a bit longer. I’m also in the process of formatting my poetry book, 'The Art Beneath the Cage', aiming for a launch on Amazon. The journey includes adding the final touches and managing time effectively for a successful publication. Furthermore, I’m thrilled to announce plans for a website featuring exclusive editions of my work, expected to launch in late 2025, just in time for Christmas. Stay tuned for more updates as I navigate through this engaging and demanding creative process!
