Yet another writer/vlogger I've stumbled across recently. This lady is HILARIOUS. Imagine if Jenna Marbles was a writer with a slightly darker sense of humor. That's Jenna Moreci. In addition to cracking me up, she has a ton of videos containing useful information about the entire writing process, from the actual writing of a book …
First 'diary entry' since beginning the rewrite! If you couldn't tell by Friday's 'progress report', it's going well. I had my doubts, as I've always been more of an editor (not a professional by any stretch of the imagination) than a re-writer. Although, truthfully, what I'm doing is more of a hybrid of the two methods. …

...guess what day it is? I'll wait here while you work through all of the standard hump-day jokes. No, seriously, they're funny. Are you done? It's October 11th. Nice try. The Mean Girls' reference is October 3rd. Good joke, though. It's October 11th, which means I've come to the end of my rest period before …
Three weeks. Three freaking weeks. That's how long it took me to finish this book. I'm not quite sure why, as it was actually a pretty fun, light read in spite of it's 513 page count. The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue follows Henry "Monty" Montague, Percy Newton and Henry's sister, Felicity Montague, as the …
As always, I'd like to begin this week's progress report by thanking all of you awesome people who've followed, liked and/or commented on my blog! Days Until Rewrite (October 11): 5 Research Progress I definitely buckled down last weekend. I actually managed to focus enough to finish up with all of the topics on my list, …
Last week, I spent a lot of my down time watching Stephen King interviews on YouTube. His and his son's new book, Sleeping Beauties, just came out, and I think it was an interview about that that took me down the proverbial rabbit hole. It's no secret that good ol' Uncle Stevie is one of …
Well folks, I haven't finished The Gentleman's Guide yet. Aside from a few little fun things, I'm not actively writing. So this 'diary entry' is going to be more personal in nature. If that's not your thing, I'll catch you on Wednesday for some writing inspiration. If it is, then here, take my hand. Walk with me. …

Days Until Rewrite (October 11): 12 No official stats this week, since I'm still not directly working on my manuscript. But I did write a few thousand words for fun, so …
My late father used to say something to that effect, although I'm not sure he worded it exactly like that. Which is strange because we're both what I would consider loners.
