May It Be...

 Happy Thursday!

It's May....which means the year is almost half-over. Wow. Well, my May is shaping up to be pretty busy:

QUERYING: So, I'm querying one of my YA Fantasies. (If you keep up with X(Twitter), or Facebook, or even Instagram (I don't post on Instagram often, but I updated it). The Forgotten is the story I'm querying. It's a fairytale. I've got more-recently-published comps (that is, books that are

similar somehow to it) in my query letters, but if you're a fan of Once Upon A Time, I could see you liking The Forgotten. We'll see what happens there. But it's close to my heart for a variety of reasons.

EDITING: Saturday, April 28, 2024 I finished writing my Christmassy-type YA Fantasy, Sugar & Frost. This was a fun one to write as I leaned more into a whimsical type approach (although there are some serious moments). I played with some of the Christmas-themed stories (Kringle, Jack Frost, little
Christmassy type town). (Fun Fact: This one is set in contemporary time period, but it has an all 80s Playlist...why? When I decided to do that, I just thought it would be funny, but then, after I wrote my dedication, it all made sense). But now it's entering the polishing (aka editing) part of the process.

WRITING: Yes, I have another project (well, more than one). I'm keeping it (and the others) under wraps as I like to do in the beginning. But, yes, I'm writing other stories, too.

NEWS: Me and my husband's anniversary is this month. Mother's Day, at least one birthday, and a sibling's anniversary are this month, as well.

And, yes, I've been reading books, as well. In fact, I just finished 2 books recently. Both good.

So, that's my May so far. Just keep plugging away!

Hope your May is wonderful.

Have A Marvelously Meritorious Monday!
