📝Personal Note

One thing I love to do is underline important, even quotable, lines in my books. Often these lines resonate deeply and provide a different perspective for me, lands hard on how I feel about a situation, or is pure fun. This is why I provide a book quote at the end of each newsletter. I’m so excited to share with you one secret project that brings book quotes to the forefront. Have you ever wanted to find a quote about cheese? Or perhaps about you want to search for quotes from Pride and Prejudice? Now you can do that!

Presenting my new website…

Currently, with over 1,000 quotes and growing weekly. I hope you have fund with this new site. Phase 2 for this site is already underway!

Project Kwame

The last two weeks I’ve completed another 1500 words. I decided to change the point of view on the project from third person to first person, and the entire draft I created earlier needs to be updated. As I move forward in this rewrite, I’m adding new words, new scenes and more importantly turning the point of view around to first. It’s slow, but I’m learning to let go of timing and enjoy the process and be thankful for what I do accomplish, no matter how small.
