Moving from NM to MI was a lot of work, and while it is a bit chilly up here, it is great to be back in MI. I have already had a visit from my bestest friend in the whole world, we have know each other since middle school! And I have a bunch of other super awesome friends that I will hopefully be getting to see in the near future!


So to be really honest, after not being able to write for the last few weeks, I was starting to worry if when I had time to write again if I would be able to. Today I answered that fear with a Bitch Slap and wrote 1500+ words into Chapter 20! It felt so good to be writing again, and to be introducing a new character that I have been really wanting to bring into the book.


Hopefully now I will get some more time in general to do some writing, between looking for a house as well! :)


Now back to Iryvalya and figuring out what Ny will do next!!!

Working on Chapter 19. It is a very detailed chapter, so it is taking me a bit longer than normal, but that just means it should be a really good chapter too! :)




In other news, found a new way to get my sweet little girl to not take her PJ's off! I put the PJ's on backwards, and she is not yet able to figure out how to unzip it! I give it only a few days and she will figure this one out as well! She is a small little Peanut! :)




Also, I am still in shock that it is already March. Time has been flying this year, between writing, school, being a Mom and preparing to move back to Michigan. Hopefully this summer things might slow down just a little.

Map Software

I forgot to add the link to the software I am using for making the map of Iryvalya.

It is called Campaign Catographer 3 (CC3) and it is really amazing. There are also video tutorials showing you how to do everything!


I am loving this software! :)

Map making

My amazing husband was sweet a bought me some software to make a map of Iryvalya (the world my series takes place in). It is really awesome, and while I am still learning a lot about it, so far I have made a halfway decent start into making Iryvalya as I envision it.


The software is Campaign Cartographer 3 (CC3), you can find information on it online if you do a search for it. While it isn't the cheapest software, it is definitely very detailed.


I have always enjoyed designing houses and things as such for fun, and I used to love The Sims to build different homes.  I am hoping that experience over the years will help me in making my world map! :)

Hello,

I wanted to start my first blog, just saying first I am not great at blogging, but I really will try my best to keep on it.

I have been quite busy in working on my novel following Nyrieve throughout Iryvalya. I am over half way through my first draft, and hope to get this draft finished by end of May 2015.

I am really excited to have my blog started, and it will be shared on my website. Below is all the different sites you can find me on.
