Check out my WIP’s hook

This week, I have been making more progress on my WIP. I am excited to say that it looks like my rewrites should be done by October 31st! Which seems fitting since it’s a horror novel and I will be ready to query it on Halloween.  However, the idea of querying has my stomach doingContinueContinue reading “Check out my WIP’s hook”

Writing, Reading, Life

I have been finally getting some progress on my WIP this past couple of weeks. My husband has been kind by letting me disappear periodically to get a chapter or two done whenever we don’t have hockey or swimming to take the kids to. I am glad to report that I am almost three-quarters intoContinueContinue reading “Writing, Reading, Life”

10 Halloween movies I’m watching this month

Well, October is officially here. The favourite month of most horror and supernatural lovers. Halloween is coming up fast, so I thought it would be fun to just compare a list of my favourite Halloween movies. Every October, I always have a list of those I feel like watching. Some I watch every year, whileContinueContinue reading “10 Halloween movies I’m watching this month”

Falling down a rabbit hole …

September long weekend is almost over already!?!? In case you are reading this and you are not from Canada, the first Monday of September is a stat holiday for us. This weekend was supposed to be a very productive weekend for our household, as we don’t have any family visiting and we decided that weContinueContinue reading “Falling down a rabbit hole …”

Random thoughts during a writing break

I can’t believe that we are already past the halfway point of August. This summer has flown by and I haven’t had any spare time to think, let alone work on my blog. I thought I’d come online to do a short update on things. I hope everyone else’s summer is going okay. Lots ofContinueContinue reading “Random thoughts during a writing break”

Vivid nightmares and panic disorders

If you have been following my blog, then you would know that one of the reasons that I write horror fiction (I think) has to do with my childhood home being haunted. Even though those ghosts were not mean or trying to harm anyone, they just wanted to have some fun, the experience as aContinueContinue reading “Vivid nightmares and panic disorders”

Summer holidays have begun

Well I have been running off my feet at work this month, so it has been difficult to find the time to sit down and work on my WIP, let alone write blogs posts and short stories. However, this past weekend was the start of my summer holidays, where my husband and I take 2ContinueContinue reading “Summer holidays have begun”

Trying again …

I know the last time I was here, I said I was excited to start monthly challenges, starting with cutting back on sugar. Unfortunately, even though I was trying to plan my monthly challenges around the potential of losing Zoey, I didn’t think it would happen so fast. Six days into my cutting back onContinueContinue reading “Trying again …”

At a loss for words …

I have been trying to sit down and write, but I can’t seem to find the words to describe what this last week has felt like for me. Every time I try to write anything about it, whether it’s a blog post, an Instagram post, or even a simple text to my mom, I startContinueContinue reading “At a loss for words …”

My childhood home was haunted

My dream goal is to become a published horror author. This may include dabbling in other genres slightly, as my book ideas include everything from aliens to dystopian, but they all have a dark twist. Already, I have started hearing questions about why I chose horror to be my genre of choice. To be honest,ContinueContinue reading “My childhood home was haunted”
