The 2022 Black Women Writers Virtual Summit

The 2022 Black Women Writers Virtual Summit will be held next month for anyone who may be interested. There is a fee, from $40 - $125. I attended last year for the freebie bits; hopefully they'll have a similar offer this time as well. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-2022...

Merry Christmas to me.

The holiday gift to myself this year is:
GRIMM The Complete Collection.

I loved the series, and I'm loving watching a DVD (five episodes) every night since I got it, which was three days ago.
SO MUCH FUN!

Another Weird Word Count...

The current word count - as of right now is
168,168. As I'm still writing, it's going to change in a matter of seconds. LOL
(Hey - I got the whole week off, so I got no excuses not to write)...
After bringing in an angelic entity from Heaven in a much-needed element in regards to the bat-shittiness that is Michael, I'm nearing the end of Dashiel's book.

By the way, I love Dashiell (angel) and David (cop) together as a couple.

A nice surprise!

A few days ago, I noticed I had two positive reviews for Angelo, Texas; one here on Goodreads, and another on Amazon!
What made me laugh was the fact that neither reviewer remarked on the romantic aspects of the story; they were more impressed--is that the right word here?--with the historical and mythological world-building.
Anyway... I'll take what I can get. I appreciate the reads, reviews, and 5-star ratings.

Now... back to writing, if I can get my brain up to the task.

Update.

I'm winding down on Dashiell and David... unless I think of something else crazy to add.

Angelo II update.

I had a blast writing the latest chapters of Dashiell's story, with its sudden action and violence. The way the story's going, I may have only a few more chapters to wrap up Book Three: Dashiel. Then I can start on the last two books, Book Four: Penemuel II, and Convergence II. However, I might not need a Con II, as the culmination of everything just might happen in Pen II.

Current word count: 157,845!
