Hello readers! What will you be reading this October for spooky season? I will be rereading 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' because why not, and it is a fast read. I will also be reading 'The Turn of the Screw' by Henry James because who doesn't love a great ghost story? Let me know what you will be reading! 🎃

Hello readers! I just want to make a quick update on the progress of my manuscript. The motives of the antagonists in my story have changed a bit. Originally, my idea for the reasons why they are evil was that they were evil incarnate, just hatred for hatred's sake. But as the story has progressed, I have realized that they would be more interesting if they had a reason behind their way of thinking. After speaking with one of my friends about this and running a few ideas by them, I have decided to do some rewriting and add more details about why the antagonists are the way they are. Do you think this should be done through flashbacks for exposition? Do you think this should be done through in-scene action as the story flows? Let me know!

Hello reader! Quick update: I have not posted anything in a long while. That is because I am currently not writing short stories but a novel. I am currently 34k words into it. For this being my debut novel, I am hoping to reach anywhere from 65k to 75k. In the meantime, I have made notes of other stories that I want to write about in the future. Thank you for your patience, and I will be more active here once I finish writing what I am currently writing.

Merry Christmas! I hope you are all doing well, and may peace be upon you. A bit of an update, so after my last post in October, I left the US, came back, and started moving to a new house. I have been adjusting to the move, and will start painting my rooms to give them a fresh coat of paint. I have been working more, trying to get my finances in order, and I have been writing the rough draft of my first novel. I think I should do more blog posts when I finish chapters, or just ideas of where the main story is going. Thank you for the support!
