A Drumroll, Please!
Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, I am pleased to announce the publishing of my very first novel, The Dressmaker’s Secret! 🙂 ~Kellyn Roth
To publish or not to publish?
Recently I’ve been having some doubts about publish The Dressmaker’s Secret this Saturday. Perhaps I should move it to the 16th … or even later. As it is, I’m really stressed out and worried about getting it ready in time. There are no major changes to be made, really. Just fine tune, format, and upload to […]
Personality Types in The Dressmaker’s Secret
As some of you may know, there are sixteen basic personality types and, more or less, everyone can be classed into one of them. I favor the INTJ personality. At least I think so. My mom thinks I may be an ISTP or something else. Anyway, I took the personality test for the characters of my upcoming […]

Merry Christmas Season! 🙂 Well, our house is decorated inside and out in preparation for Jesus’ birthday. On another note, my dog had a puppy. I know. Just one. And in her first and second litter there was eight and nine … go figure. It’s a girl and, because we only have one to name, she has […]
After NaNoWriMo
Well, I finished Ivy Inquisitive at 44,114 words! That comes out to twenty-eight chapters. I’m pretty proud of myself. I have written significantly more words during this NaNo than I did last year (43,448 by November 30th at 11:59 PM!) … which is always a good thing. I’m hoping that next year I’ll be able to do […]

Good morning! I hope you’re having a nice Sunday. I, for one, am staying home from church along with the rest of my family because we’ve been having a crazy weekend and there are some things we have to get done. I’ve now reached 31,000 words. I’m a little bit ahead, but I’d like to […]

Well, it’s Day 16 … and I’ve run across a problem. I knew that my outline wasn’t complete! There’s a character in Ivy Inquisitive whose mother dies … and somehow she needs to feel as if her mother’s death was her fault and stew over it for the rest of her life. I have literally been […]
