Hiii y’all. I’ve been pretty absent from KP if you haven’t noticed😅XD
In between catching up on school, church, family, life, a bit of writing, drawing, the *possibility* of my family moving (which is both stressful but also exciting bc we’re hoping to be closer to family, friends, and church), and marketing for Book 2, I haven’t made a whole whole lot of time for KP, but I promise I’m still here (and sometimes checking on messages even if I don’t log in😂).
I’m shooting for releasing Broken Shackles, Book #2 of Leon/Riker’s trilogy, towards the end of this month, and though I have a date in mind, I’m not going to finalize it until after I look over the 2nd proof copy that I ordered that’s supposed to come in this coming Monday👀.But how is everyone else’s 2025 going so far? How are the projects?
And how are the babies???🥺
Happy New Year btw!!!🥳🥳🥳
*SCREAMS*
The end of this month!!!!!
*goes and checks the Leon and Riker fund*
I’ve got the money all ready and waiting!!!
Wow I’m so excited!!! I can’t wait! Yippity yippity yippity!
I’m doing pretty good! We’ve got some crazy stuff going on, and my dad’s job is stressful at the moment because it always is after the people are done tearing apart the town on New Years and then he has to try and put it back together and figure out who did what. *sigh*
Anyhow.
I have an exciting announcement as well, but I’m good at keeping secrets so I shan’t say a word. Just keep an eye out. I hope to have more info by the end of next week. 😉
Writing is going pretty well. I just got hit with five new story ideas and they are being really nagging. I wrote the plot lines down and locked them up, but the characters keep interrupting me while I’m talking with my current WIP characters. *sigh*
I’m also looking at releasing the first book of my saga this year, so that’ll be exciting!
But yeah, that’s me!

Ah…those noisy charries…they just beg for attention! I am feeling the same way right now. I’m working on Buddy Brindle, but this newest story idea (the one inspired by sleep terrors) just keeps popping into my mind! My poor dogs! They’re getting neglected!
Did you know? Charles Dicken’s son said something very similar about his father. He said his father told him that his characters were real people in his head, constantly demanding attention. I believe it got quite wearisome for him sometimes. The people in his brain were very self-absorbed!
And, though this doesn’t apply much to my writing life, my life sometimes gets very wearisome and burdened. That’s why I’ve started taking “Be Still” walks, where I simply walk outside, enjoying the beauty of God’s creation while conversing about whatever to Him. It helps me cast all my burdens on Him and to be still and know that He is God!
This month? EEEEEEEE! That’s awesome!!
2025 is going great so far! Finished my latest fanfic New Year’s and I’m currently having my brother beta read it.
my characters? They’re doing pretty well. I have a new idea that’s fairly original and I kinda want to write it.
I’ve also been learning animation. Which is good for me, but not for some of my characters—because guess who suffers obvious bodily harm when I can’t figure out how to properly move a rig! lol
I’m so excited for you!!! I can’t wait to read itttt!!!
2025 writing-wise is off to a slow start, but a start nonetheless! I didn’t write as much as I wanted to during December because I was lacking in motivation (ok, I was just being lazy, lolll), but I’ve forced myself to start writing again and I’m hoping CWW will give me a shove in the right direction! (I’m starting to feel more motivated as I see and hear what kind of content is in YA fiction and that needs to be changed!! Our middle and high schoolers NEED to be reading better books!!!! *ahem* Anyway…. XD)
I’ve also been putting more thought into college and the future since I graduate in two yearsss. 😱 Just exploring my options, praying, and seeking what the Lord wants me to do. :)) (I’m also like really excited for the summer since I get to start learning how to drive, am hoping to get a more consistent job, and the volleyball season will get off to a start. But that’s all pretty far off, idk why I’m talking about it now. XD)
Speaking of volleyball, I’ve been conditioning and training because it’s going to be a challenge this year to keep my spot as a varsity starter. 😬
Anywayyy… Enough ranting about myself!!! How have you been?? (I know you already sort of answered that question in your post, but whatever. 🤪)
END OF THIS MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Does a happy dance* YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope it all goes well!
Glad you’re doing okay
@freed_and_redeemed
Ahh!!! I haven’t even bought your first book yet! (I have to collect some money). By the way, how did you find those amazing character pictures that are on your banner????
Well………I’ve been accepted to write a serial story for the Ardent Youth!!!!!! (That’s the Amish magazine I write for). I’m SO excited to do this since I’ve never written something this long before that will be published!
I’m also outlining a new wip I have which I am SOOO excited about!!!!! Hopefully, I’ll share more about it later on.
@liberty
Oh my goodness I know! Hey, have you watched, “The Man Who Invented Christmas?” It’s the story of Charles Dickens and is so, so cool!
@ellette-giselle
No, I haven’t seen that film.
