Back in October of 2021, I started journaling again.

This year marks the tenth anniversary of my first ever participation in NaNoWriMo.

Writing has always been an escape for me and an escape for the stories in my head.

I don’t prep for the big game like most I guess.

Every year around this time, I scour through my calendar, trying to recall what went on over the last 12 months. This time last year, I didn't have much to report because with the pandemic, things had been few and far between…2021, however, has been so significant, so life-changing, I didn't need to refer to the 12-month planner. While we faced many challenges, there were also some fantastic highs.

Since the start of the pandemic and the introduction of our book club at the office, I have been, at times, face-first in my books.

August 3 - Well, here we are again.

It’s July 1st, and while I have a second novel in the works, I decided to take a quick time out to work on a new story for this month’s writing challenge.

Ladies & Gentlemen, start your engines…or in this case, check out the trailer for Tame My Racing Heart.

Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to be an author.
