Two Books In…

December 1, 2018 by katiebennettauthor, posted in Inspiration, Life, Motherhood, Short read, Writing

Something interesting happened this month. I wrote a second book! Well, almost. I wrote about 57,000 words of a young adult novel that I hope to be about 60,000-65,000 words by the time it's completely finished. This was an amazing accomplishment for me for several reasons. I have a toddler now, and I managed to … Continue reading Two Books In…

Some Thoughts about Nanowrimo

November 7, 2018November 7, 2018 by katiebennettauthor, posted in Life, Motherhood, Uncategorized, Writing

Here I am, writing to you from the jungle of Nanowrimo. I'm in the middle of it. In the weeds. I've been doing great. Every day so far, I've written above the suggested goal.

Major Definite Purpose

Hola! It's been a long time, friends. I've moved yet again to a new home, which is making me think of the early days of this blog when I discussed moving into a tiny apartment in order to pay off our debt. Our family went through many changes recently, including my son starting daycare. I … Continue reading Major Definite Purpose

Thoughts on the Store-Bought Cake Draft

January 10, 2017January 10, 2017 by katiebennettauthor, posted in Writing
