Life Updates When You are Living in Your Novel

  Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons!     What can I say? A lot. But not to living people.    Nowadays I am sequestered within my office writing. I have an over 12o,000-word count manuscript that is my first novel to preoccupy my time. I have meaningful conversations with my characters. I see them daily and help them live their best life and escape the crazy killer waiting to get them.    And me? I have been taking vacations, visiting friends and relatives, and enjoying conventions. I have not read much, other than reference books to aid in my writing. My life update is not as crazy as my characters (thankfully in some cases). Regardless I am enjoying this new journey of mine.   The journey of a first-time novelist is a rollercoaster.

The Update: What I Have Been Doing

  Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons!    January 2020 started out hopeful. We even had a decent February and beginning to our March. Then, our lives changed for the better part of a year. I stayed in quite a lot and in doing so, I began to rapidly start to finish the novel I have been writing. Isolation and the ability to work solely on my book gave the venture a new purpose. I developed my characters further and extended the story outward.  Now I am going through my 400 plus page manuscript and fine-tuning the narrative.    They say the next step of any avid reader is to become an author.    I look forward to having the world read my work. I am not a patient person, but with this, I have to be. More news to come.   I will be adding past reviews in my Book Review Rewind series. This will give new readers a chance to view my reviews. I am also reading, which will give you all new reviews.       Have fun reading this ...
