Hello, friends! It’s the middle of November, which means many writers are in the thick of NaNoWriMo. National Novel Writing Month is where a bunch of people get together and write like mad, trying to do 50,000 words in three days. If you’re attempting this, I salute you. Remember that any word you write is a step forward, and celebrate every victory. If you “only” write 25,000 words this month, or 200 words, that’s still something to appreciate. Don’t psyche yourselves out.

I just received some great news about the Black Mariah series that I can share soon. It’s exciting! I just finished my novel tentatively titled The Witch of Paradise and turned it into my agent a few days ago. It feels amazing to do so after so long! I have a short story to start on, but I’m having difficulty descending from the dreamy clouds of one literary world in order to go to another. We’ll see what happens.

Happy Wednesday and happy writing and reading!
