Apr. 7th, 2025 Writing Update

April Writing Update:

Well…honestly? 🙂

I’m writing very little at the moment, and I am 100% okay with that!
Every writer is different, and every writer has their own process.

My process, sadly, involves intense bursts of writing followed by a month or two of word fatigue so intense that I can barely even read! The first time this happened to me, I panicked. Reading is like breathing! I read all the time. Fiction, nonfiction, romance, suspense, thrillers, fantasy…I read just about anything! But, when I’m on a deadline, my reading is limited to re-reads of old favorites because that’s all my brain can handle.

Also, because, true story, I have the self-control of a fruit fly, and if I start reading a book and get sucked in? Guess what happens? I read…and I don’t write. Which is all well and good except for when I’M ON A DEADLINE!

You’d think when the deadline is past that I’d be itching to read new things. And I am. But, I don’t. I try! But I can’t get into anything for the first few weeks. I start and stop books. It drives me bonkers! But it passes. It just takes time.

And this word fatigue extends to my writing life as well. In the first month or so after I turn a book in, it’s all I can do to write blog posts and social media posts! I’ve learned to roll with it. It won’t be long before I start getting antsy to dive into a new story…but…I can’t talk about that yet!!

For now, I can tell you that there are more stories coming. They’re simmering in my subconscious while I wait for my editor to get her hands on Mo and Bronwyn and straighten them out!

Y’all should pray for her! She has her work cut out for her with those two!

Grace and peace,
