Join My New Writing Cohort!
|
Do you need structured writing time, like I do? Join my writing cohort— a supportive group that meets regularly—starting in September! Twice a week, we’ll gather on Zoom for two hours of focused writing. Each hour starts with a 15-minute chat about progress and intentions, then we turn off cameras for 45 minutes of silent writing. It’s a flexible, supportive space to stay accountable and connect with fellow writers of all skill levels.

Now, why am I starting this cohort? Read on!

|

The time has come—I’m starting work on book two in the Incubadora series.

I’m about to begin my journey into the inner life of Kelsey, a character who brought so much energy and warmth to Painting Celia.

Dory is settled in at our new river house, and has two princely demands: sleeping and eating.
|
In the morning, he naps on the cushioned chairs on the lanai, and in the afternoon sun, he sleeps under them. He might lose interest once the fall rains start!
|
As for eating, I have around a hundred houseplants and am struggling to find them homes high enough that Dory can't reach them. He’ll chomp on any leaf he can, tasty or not.
|
Makes me wish he'd spend more time napping!

WILL YOU HELP ME?
|
If you have read (or listened!) to Painting Celia and not yet left a review, would you type one up soon? Reviews are what lead other readers to the book. The most valuable places to leave one are Amazon and Goodreads.
|
I would be so grateful, my friends!
