Today I begin a somewhat terrifying journey.

I’m beginning edits on a novel I completed in 2017 that brought me to my agent, but sadly didn’t go much further. Here’s the thing. I refuse to let this one go the way of several others. It’s too good.

Anyway.

The Boy looked at me like I was crazy and asked how the heck I did it. He said, “You’re always working!”

I’ve been working on this new thing: screenwriting.

It’s very very new. I saw some contests pop up and they gave me a little nudge nudge, wink wink.

I actually wrote my first script over the holidays – based on a book I’ve written (unpublished for now) – and submitted it for professional feedback. The review I received from that was so absolutely stellar. I’ve been on a bit of a high ever since. Unstoppable!

Reality has returned. I’d also submitted an action-comedy pitch recently; my ...

Here I am, updating my social media. For the first time since 2015? April 16, 2015 to be exact. WTF, amirite? To be fair, I’ve been through a divorce. A separation from my agent. Started[...]
