She enjoys writing young adult novels and novels with anthropomorphic animals, mainly dragons and dogs, with the themes of change, hope, love, and acceptance of who we are.

When I talk about what I am writing it leads to more ideas. I also take a step back from writing and work on editing other pages that I have written. I go over the pages and see where I can add descriptions, dialogue, or build in character personalities. I ask myself questions with the comment feature in word to generate more ideas later. For example, if my character is in the mountains, I might ask, what plants are growing there? Then I can add some descriptions of the world. If I am still having trouble I go on a nature walk to clear my mind. (less)

I had been talking with her about wanting to write a book and when she showed me her drawing the idea came to life. The first draft only took me a month to write. That is how inspired I was with the idea. I was so excited to be creating this new world, with new species and an epic adventure. I used my own two dogs as more inspiration watching how they acted and incorporating their personalities in to the characters in the novel. Two years later, after several rounds of editing, revisions, heartache and frustration Crimson was finally finished. Now, I am working on book two. (less)

Building a new vocal booth part 3

I finally was able to cover the gaps in the vocal booth door. I used rock wool and moving blankets. no more light is getting through the door, but it is by no means air tight.

I was a bit disappointed that adding plywood only added -2 db to my noise level . I guess in the future, I will need to invest in a whisper room or something similar. Although my noise
