Hey BookWyrms, I’ve got another Scribbler unboxing for you! The February box featured perspective, and I can’t wait to start reading this month’s book. In my current draft of Shenanigans, I’ve been expanding the number of characters who get to tell their own side of things, so I’m looking forward to learning how to accomplish…
Hey BookWyrms, It was a bit of a roller-coaster over here in BookWyrm Cove, but I’m coming out of February really excited! The spaces where I feel like I didn’t accomplish as much are outweighed by some fantastic progress. Let’s dive in! Writing February Wrap I had hoped to have the third draft of Shenanigans…
Hey BookWyrms, It’s a new year, and a new Scribblers box for January! Quick note: I’m not sponsored by Scribblers, I just love the boxes and hope that even if you aren’t interested in subscribing, one of the items may catch your eye. The Book This box felt a little more lowkey than some of…
Hey BookWyrms, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about motivation and determination. It’s really the only things standing between us and our dreams, right? Are we motivated? Are we determined? It can be really… difficult… to feel motivated or determined when we don’t feel we have much control over the world around us, or even…
Hey BookWyrms, I have been working furiously this year to finish the second draft of Shenanigans, and with NaNoWriMo this month, I’ve been thinking a lot about the expectations we hold for ourselves and what each draft should actually accomplish. A friend recently asked to read my WIP, and in giving a disclaimer for the…

Hey BookWyrms, If you’re like me, and tend to overthink things, then you’ve probably suffered from writer’s guilt. Maybe you’re not even a writer, but you have that one hobby or obligation that just sits in the back of your mind. It creeps up when you least expect it. Watching Netflix? You should be writing……
I’m a little over half way done with Camp NaNoWriMo (National November Writing Month), and I’m really happy with my progress so far. On July 9th, 2020, I finished the first draft of Shenanigans! I’m super stoked! However, this kind of killed my NaNo progress because I was only 13k words in, and my goal was to write 50k and/or finish my draft. I was not expecting to finish the draft so early.
Hey BookWyrms, Anyone here doing Camp NaNoWriMo this month? For those of you who haven’t heard of it, NaNoWriMo stands for National November Writing Month. Typically, people use the month of November to write 50k words in 30 days, but the organization added ‘camp’ in the months of April and July. The ‘rules’ for camp…
Hey BookWyrms, If you’re like me, you love honing your writerly craft and reading for the sake of learning. Scribblers does this for me 100%. I want to point out that I’m not sponsored by Scribblers in any way. I just genuinely enjoy their boxes and hope that I can 1) show off the awesome…
