I'm going to enter every Challenge AND write my novel!
2024 will be my first full year in business as a writer, and I have big plans. I started writing my novel in 2021, but considered it just a hobby until last year, when I realized I want to pursue writing professionally. That’s when I joined Vocal Media. I posted quite a few stories and entered several challenges in 2023, but this year, I want to take things up a notch.

Best Books of 2023?. Top Story - January 2024.
How can someone possibly compare the relative merits of Toasty (a picture book about a piece of toast that wants to be a dog) vs. Death on Gokumon Island (a mystery of grisly multiple murder)? Well, I've made an attempt!

Unconventional NaNoWriMo week 1
Overall, it's been a great week, but very tiring. In this post, I'll show you my diary of work during week 1. In total, I worked on my writing goals for 19.25 hours (87.5% of my goal of 22 hours--not bad!). I successfully published my entry in the Unreliable Narrator challenge and made progress on other goals related to my writing business. Keep reading for the details :).
