Hi everybody!

It’s been a week of writing. A process toward writing 2k words a day. I’ve progressed to 9k words in Book 1 on my cozy mystery. That after I spend a few writing sessions plotting and planning. In socks and pjs of all things!

Off camera I started the process of reviewing and kinda replotting the 4th book in my Sweet Historical Romance Novelette Series. I’ve wanted it published the end of April already. Life has a fascinating way of changing plans…

Anyways, hopefully it’ll go to my Alpha and BETA readers by the end of May. If you want to be part of my BETA readers team, please find the link in my LinkTree below to join my development tree.

Thanks in advance. That’s it for today!

Happy writing!

Hi everybody!

I’m happy to share that Book 1 in my cozy series is getting there. I’ve just hit 7 k words in the rough draft and started writing out the scene cards for those scenes I’ve written out.

Then I’ve also started building my spider diagram of the plot. I still need to finish the review of Book 4 in my SHRN series. I’m totally excited about my cozy so my sweet romance is suffering for it! Oi. But that will progress. Pinky swear!

Anyways, the rest in my Sweet Historical Romance Novelette Series is available in ebook on Apple, Kobo and Amazon.

Please follow the links below where you will find the relevant links.

Thanks in advance for your support. That’s it for today!

Hi everybody!

No exciting news today, just some plotting. Now I’m getting into the first official rough draft, even though it’s very much plotting.

I do however hope to get on with the review of Book 4 in my SHRN series this week. Look out for that later this week. I think that’s it for today.

Happy writing!

Hi everybody!

Today I go on planning and plotting Book 1 in my new series.

But so I had no computer to work with! There was just nothing… So I used the 2nd best option: my old ipad! yay! With a previous NaNoWriMo I typed about 30k words on my phone, so iPad is not too bad. I’m still using the Snowflake Spreadsheet for this part of my planning.

I think that’s it for today.

Happy writing!

Hi everybody!

It’s been fun planning book 1 in my new series. I’ve decided to use existing spreadsheets and guides that I’ve collected on my writing journey. Today I continued the snowflake spreadsheet from The Library Discord chat.

I love the snowflake method of plotting and planning. It’s a great way to expand on an idea. But I always use this method in conjunction with KM Weiland’s Structuring Your Novel tips as well as Sarra Cannon’s Planning Your Novel guidance.

I’ve not touched Book 4 in my SHRN series. I believe the story needs to rest a little bit longer before I review and rewrite. So much for publishing it the end of March 2021!

I think that’s it for today.

Happy writing!

Hi everybody!

It’s been a while but here’s a new video with the plotting of a new book and a brand new series!

But you’ll have to wait for any more news about this book. I’ve let the typing exercises rest a bit, so I’m back to a much slower speed. In other news… Book 4 in my Sweet Historical Romance Novelette series is done!

Look out for some revision snippets in my near future vlogs. I’ll have a post up at some stage about this book, the cover and the blurb as well.

I think that’s it from me today.

Happy writing!

Hi everybody

Another writing vlog with typing practice, sprinting and article writing for two days.

Enjoy!

Hi everybody!

It’s nice to follow my routine. It’s not rigid but I like the consistency.

My typing exercises are paying off. Slowly my w.p.m is climbing to an average of 70w.p.m. Not too shabby.

Book 4 of my series only received 1 block of sprints today. So the word-count climbed with a mere 600 words.

I finished 2 articles and send it off to the editor which I’m really happy with.

Tomorrow I want to do some more research for work, plan and write the work. I think that’s it from me today.

Happy writing!

Hi everybody!

Today’s documenting is for two days. I’m proud of the sprints I did on Book 4 of my series.

Today I hit 13k words. I’m aiming for a minimum of 15k words for novelettes. But I do get to 20k words such as what happened to Book 3, Zara and William. It’s not a crises. That’s when the story finished, right? I also included you in a bit of my normal days.

You’ll see me create some marketing images as well as some posts for Instagram. I updated my production document as well.

Lastly I included you in my research and planning process for a non-fiction article due for submission by the weekend. There’s a bit of work to be done but I have at least 2 more days for that. I think that’s it from me today.

Look out for my TBR list for at least the next 2 months. I could finish the books faster but life is a bit unpredictable so I’ll take it a day at a time.

Happy writing!

Hi everybody!

I’m done with self-editing today! Yay!

I’ve also done the 1st round of formatting. I’ll do a 2nd round of formatting before this book gets published.

I’ve also send this book off to my Alpha and almost all my Beta readers. I must admit, the interaction with my beta readers is the highlight of the editing process for me. Maybe that’s what I should remember when I start editing on Book 4!

[If you would like to BETA read for me, please look in my LinkTree for the form to complete.]

That’s it from me today!
