I’ve finished the first book in a new series called Moon Lake. Book One, Shelter, will be out sometime in June! It’s a four book series and I’ll go back to Star Valley once it’s done. It feels good to finally put The End on something again!

So for the past several months, I’ve been afflicted by the worst case of writer’s block I’ve ever had. Unable to write anything, I spent months trying different methods (similar to trying to cure insomnia, which I also have a lot of experience with) with no luck. At the end of April, I finally hit on something that I could write a few thousand words a day without stopping or pulling out my hair.

 

I’ve read this twice now and I highly recommend it, even if you’re not a writer yourself. Gilbert makes a strong case for creativity in everyone’s daily life, even if it’s just a hobby. She has a lot of suggestions about how to express yourself and reasons for doing so.

Give it a read if you’re a professional creator (writer, poet, artist) or just someone who needs a creative outlet in your life.

 

 

 

So I nearly drowned at an oxygen bar to bring you Star Valley.

No, really.

Only me, right?

I went to Wyoming with KiKi to see the sights and get a feel for the place. KiKi gets carsick easily and has to drive everywhere she goes. So she drove me all over the entire state of Wyoming while I hung out the window to take photos. I really do have great friends. I can text them at Midnight on a Saturday and not even phase them.

“Want to go to Wyoming and look around?”
