#WhitWritesHerNovel : The Home Stretch and What’s Next

So, I will be participating in NaNoWriMo this year. This will be my…….sixth consecutive year doing it. This one is a little bittersweet though, because it will be my last one for a while; until I find the inspiration for a new venture. I am preparing to start the final installment of my Playing with…

#WhitWritesHerNovel: Draft #1 is Done

Six days overdue; however, I got my first draft edited on 1/6/2020. I must say, the sequel was not as bad as I imagined it would be. I can tell that I have improved in my writing, and am happy with the way the story flows thus far. I will start my first rewrite this…

#WhitWritesHerNovel: Back Into the Swing of Things

So, with the debut of my newest novel about 2 months in at this point (order copies HERE), I feel like i have taken a decent enough break and am ready to jump back full force into writing up the sequel to Playing with Fire. So far, I have written out the characters and their…

#WhitWritesHerNovel: The Re-Read 

So, I’m noticing things as I read: 1. Not a bad book for my first one…if I do say so myself; and I’m my worst critic. 2. Definitely some things I’m planning on fixing or have fixed along the way (is this a bad thing? Since I’ve already had a proof printed?) 3. The responses…

#WhitWritesHerNovel: Are We Ready to Proof?

So I got my proof copy of Playing with Fire today, and I’m experiencing a flurry of emotions.  Most of all, I’m excited. I’m beyond excited and I have no idea how to deal with all this positive energy. Let me tell y’all something about me: When I say I’m an average person, I mean…

#WhitWritesHerNovel: And For Now, We Wait

I just got through putting the finishing touches on the interior and cover for my novel.  I am beyond EXCITED!! I submitted it for review so now I am going to patiently wait to receive a yay or nay on if it is approved.  Then I can order a proof and actually have my first…

#WhitWritesHerNovel:The Wait

So, I’m waiting on one more reader to finish editing before I go make corrections and do one more read. It’s getting so close and it’s crazy. I still can’t believe I wrote a novel!! In the meantime, I need to figure out some illustrations for the cover, make my biography, synopsis of the book,…

#WhitWritesHerNovel: Farewell to the First Edit

So, between the busy work schedule and the overall hiatus in general, I have been going full speed on completing the first edit of my novel. I am proud to say that I am almost finished! *breaks out into crazy dance* LOL I had charted scenes that I have completely re-written, taken complete scenes out…

#WhitWritesHerNovel: Hiatus and the Thought of a Writing Group

I am kind of upset that I haven’t been able to give my novel the attention it deserves in the last 2 months or so.  It has been a pretty busy couple of months, from working, to being out of town or doing something since the end of April. Needless to say, the writing has taken a…

#WhitWritesHerNovel: Did I lose my Writing Steam?

So, I haven’t sat down to write in a while…possibly a couple weeks. Between being sort of busy, and just not having the motivation to do it, I just can’t get my thoughts together.  I feel sort of bad because I love writing and I love my novel, this is a dream for me and I…
