Writer in the Making

I’ve been using this story as a reader magnet, but… it’s coming to bookstores. This short story is under 3K words, but it may be the start of something. Could it be a prequel to a full length novel?

So we’re making progress on Those We Love in Blue. What’s my word count so far? Listen and find out!

“Write like You’re Someone or Something Else” https://blog.bookbaby.com/2021/06/write-like-someone-else/ I found this interesting and thought I’d share.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve only written one book at a time. Even if I get stuck with a story, I go to another until I’m out of the plot hole lol. This time around, I’m actually writing two books at the same time. Even I’m surprised!
