When I was ten years old, I decided I wanted to become a fantasy author. I had no idea how to go about it, but I knew that authors write stories. So I started typing away on my dad’s Macintosh computer, writing a story about two friends, one of whom was a mage and the…
Dragons! Since humans first discovered dinosaur bones and decided they must have belonged to some long-extinct giant (sometimes flying) reptile, we’ve been fascinated by dragons.

This month, I had every intention of writing a large portion of my next book as part of NaNoWriMo 2022. Any ideas how many words I’ve managed to write? 12,504. Not exactly my most stellar word count. So why have I struggled to write this book when I was able to churn out over 70,000…
Welcome to my first update for NaNoWriMo 2022! I’ll be posting an update on my word count as November moves along. I won’t be posting daily, but I’ll try to post at least once a week. Without further ado, here are my daily word counts for each day thus far: Day 1: 1,826 words Day…
