This month, I was thrilled to participate in the very first Jesus Writing Month by Justice Tilsher! There were so many colleagues and friends participating, and it was such a refreshing community to be part of. I also followed along a little bit with Sara Ella's No Word Count challenge, which was sweet.
November Goals:
*Finish revising Rooted once and for all
*Finish drafting Project R/TAOR
*Finish drafting Bethlehem Belle #3
*Draft QSAL
*Plot Super Secret WIP C
*Plot Super Secret WIP T
November Accomplishments:
I have two exciting projects in the works that I can't share about yet. But they're going to be spectacular, and I'm thrilled to get into the early phases of planning for both projects. Stay tuned for 2026!
I also began revising Rooted for one. last. time. And I finally did it! I've been chipping away at this book since 2024, which is unusal for me. I'm still planning on a Spring 2026 release, maybe March/April around Lent.
After tearing apart QSAL and evaluating what was working and what wasn't, I redid the entire plan for the novel and I think (finally) it's going to work out. Disappointed I didn't power through a whole draft this month, but progress made is progress either way.
I was surprised/excited to finish drafting Bethlehem Belle #3 (WBCM) after hitting a bit of a rut with it. Being pretty close to scrapping the rest of the series helped me evaluate, again, what was working/what wasn't and find the heart of the story. So I'm looking at an April 2026 release for this one too!
Also, I finished the first rough draft for Project TAOR which is exciting. There's a lot of revisions to be done with this one, and I'm hoping to set it aside until January to let it simmer.
In the meantime, I began chipping away at the second draft for my MG horse-girl series, Project FFF #1. I'm hoping to write the full series before I release this one--something I've never done before--so I'm interested to see how this all works out. The series is planned from start to finish, I just gotta get 'er done.
In December, I'll be revealing my hopeful slate for 2026!
