Plugging away at Book 5. I have 5 chapters finished and I just revamped my outline. I have some cool tools to prompt me to look at how events cause characters’ thinking to change, leading to action, which I find super-helpful.
Book Review: At a Loss for Words, by Carol Off
Nonfiction, 4-/5
Carol Off goes into a deep dive behind the historical and morphed current-day usage (even weaponization) of key words that inform our modern world and politics: democracy , freedom, truth, woke, choice, and taxes. This book made me see much of modern politics in a new light.
Tons on the go!
I finished reviewing the proofs, updated my website, got corrections back from an expert reader for the biography and started implementing suggested changes, and did a bit more on Book 5–quite a few balls in the air for me.
Book Review: Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak
Horror, 5+/5
Mallory, a young woman trying to get her life back on track, lands a dream job…but the ghosts in the woods have other plans. Chilling! Especially the black-and-white art that is central to the story.
Reviewing proofs of Rivers of Ivy!
Wrote the first three scenes of my next book, and got the proofs for Rivers of Ivy–I’m just over 50% of the way reviewing the laid-out version for errors.
