Writer's Log 002: Setting The Pace

I'm taking you along as I write Book 3

Hi book pals,

In case you missed it, I’m attempting to document the entire process of writing my third novel, from blank document to (fingers crossed!) eventual publication. That means every breakthrough, confidence wobble, and craft tool I test out along the way. This is my second Writer’s Log missive. If you missed the first, you can catch up here.

Whether you’re a writer desperate to know how the process works for other authors or just a curious reader, I’m giving you a candid peek into the messy backstage of how a book gets made. Let’s get into it!

Quick refresher: If you’re brand new here—welcome!—I’m the author of The Christmas Orphans Club (2023) and my sophomore novel Back Where We Started—BWWS for short—comes out this October. So, I’m getting started on what I hope will be my third novel.
