So I'm still deep in editing, and will be for quite a while. But I'm releasing Nowhere Fast in December, and I've put up a tentative description on GoodReads. Want to see what you might be getting into? Look here. Add it to your to-read shelf, if you'd like.
I'm also close to done with this round of editing. If someone would like to be a beta reader, I'd be more than happy to receive as much feedback as possible. Let me know through the contact form!

I Can Actually Work!
I feel like I procrastinate too much, but that's not entirely true. I get a lot of stuff done, just not things I should do, like editing my novel. But when I do?
Track Changes is a glorious feature. I need to start talking more about my novel on here if I'm gonna build up hype, huh? Guess when I get more edited.

I've finally done it
I've decided to self-publish one of my novels. It's not that I won't continue the path towards commercial publication, but I kind of feel like I want something of mine out there, y'know? And maybe it'll be the kick I need to really get back into writing and reading.
The novel I've decided to self-publish is Nowhere Fast. It's a young adult novel about a boy named Niel, whose mother died because of breast cancer about a year before the novel starts. He meets Sam, a college student who is student teaching at his school that semester and seems to share his love of going out and watching cargo trains.
Of course the novel itself is very, very rough still, or most of it is, anyway. A portion of it was in my senior workshop portfolio for my BFA and people seemed to like it. But it means there's still a ton of work to do. I'd love help, of course. I have to work through and convert it to present tense (I'd started but never finished) but after that, I'd really love as much feedback as possible so I can get it polished. But I suppose editing and such will come after I've done the initial work.
Until then!
