My Goings-On in March: Here are the things that stand out to me this month: Writing. I’ve started writing a new book! Not very far at this point, but it’s good to be working on something new. Visit to Purdue. We went to visit Purdue so Danielle could see it one more time before she makes her final decision. (We also visited University of Georgia on Saturday, so she’s making her final decision in the […]

I’ve mentioned my newest WIP a few times now, but I haven’t given many details about the methods behind my writing. Writing verse novels is an intensive process. You have to analyze each and every word and weigh its value within the piece. The low wordcount for verse novels can be both liberating and limiting. But I read a writing craft book this week called Writing Right by James R. Matheson, and this book radically […]
Welcome to the April monthly link-up for the 2021 Book Blog Discussion Challenge hosted by Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction and Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight! Sorry we’re late putting this up. It’s definitely my fault. I’ve been at my son’s state meet for Special Olympics snowshoeing these past few days and just completely forgot about needing to get the challenge post up! The winner of our February discussion challenge giveaway was Sam […]
The Monthly Wrap-Up Round-Up is hosted by Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction and Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight. UPDATE: We have changed the giveaway to a SEASONAL giveaway, since we kind of have the same people entering every season. It will still be international, still have a chance to read and review, the only difference is, you’ll have longer to enter! (And because I just haven’t been so great about reading the Make […]
I haven’t done a Top Ten Tuesday Post in a while, but I thought I’d jump in with a list this week, even though I’m not doing the official list. (It’s a step in the right direction, right?) Anyway, I’ve been reading lots of verse novels lately since I’ve also been writing in verse. And I wanted a running list of verse novels releasing in 2022, but I couldn’t find one. So I created a […]

Today, I’m reviewing a MG contemporary, a kid’s chapter book, a MG non-fiction book, and a MG humorous contemporary series. I hope these bite-sized reviews will be enough to feed your fiction addiction! Set at the beginning of 2020, this book highlights the extra stresses of being an Asian American family at the start of the pandemic. Most kids will relate to the confusion and fears portrayed in the book, but the themes will especially […]
