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.

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 […]
NaNoWriMo: Day 14
Hello Everyone! Itâs a cloudy but beautiful (due to the orange, yellow, and red trees and suddenly bright green grass) in Oregon! đ November may sound gloomy to some, but itâs quite perky here, especially when the deep blue sky peeps through ⊠not yet today, but we must be hopeful. So, Iâm up to 17,469 as […]
