Hey, Last week was an emotional rollercoaster! Let me take you behind the scenes and tell you want happened. But first, this is Ran, Sarn’s son from the Curse Breaker series. We’re one month into the new year, and already my brilliant plan that I talked about in other newsletters backfired pretty spectacularly. What was that plan? As you probably know by now, I only exist when you read my stories. That’s the harsh reality of being a fictional character and why this newsletter is kind of fictional but not. I’ll get to that in a bit. You might also … Continue reading Well, that backfired pretty spectacularly

Hey, It’s your favorite character back again. At least I hope I’m your favorite character. This is Ran, Sarn’s son from the Curse Breaker series. I’m back with a writing update.

I saw something about how you can’t be a great writer unless you read, and I realized that I don’t talk about what I read. And I read a lot of books. So far this week, I listened to: I didn’t enjoy Nine Lives Mysteries but I loved Danielle’s other series about Beachwood Manor. I bought and listened to all 12 books of that series last week. Nine Lives is very cringe most of the time. I almost dnf’d so many times but I didn’t like the first book of her Beachwood Manor series either. So I pushed through the … Continue reading The Scribe’s Reading Log
