November Wrap-Up & December Goals

Apparently, today is December 1. The year is almost gone.

Sounds fake, but okay.

My highlights from last month included running away to the beach for a writing weekend with friends I haven’t seen in way too long, finishing revisions to Earth and Water, and having a few writers friends look at the outline to the Service Before Self (a contemporary military romance). Good news! Earth and Water is now 22k words longer, with bonus steam and angst, and all the feedback on Service Before Self has been wonderful. I’m excited dive into that world for a bit and try something completely different before returning to paranormal romance.

For December, I’m officially counting down to a milestone birthday at the end of the month, which I’ll be celebrating with friends in Atlanta with an epic New Years Eve party. Before that, I’m enjoying the traditional holiday celebration of my people, which is “there aren’t any more kids in our immediate family so let’s all take a cruise instead.”

Have you pre-ordered Earth and Water yet? That would make the best Christmas, Hannukah, and birthday present for me!
