As my novel has been placed on the back burner for the last several months, I want to seriously dedicate time to it. I haven’t updated my second draft since the beginning of May, which kind of hurts my heart since this was supposed to be “my year” to work on it.

Creative Exhaustion

March 4, 2018 mehekwrites1 Comment

For the last two months, I have blogged every Sunday, and every Sunday, I have enjoyed it.
