Here I celebrate the ending… and beginning… and share the next process now that the first draft of this novel is done!

Chapter 26 and rolling… check out where we are and the final stretch!

Just a quick note to everyone about the writing process. I’ve taken some time to step back, create a  “map” of all the details, and am now editing the first 22 chapters to make sure we are ready for the last 8 chapters… it may be a few more weeks before there is a new chapter, but this is normal in the process. Making sure everything lines us is a huge piece of work, but so critical! Just think of me working behind the scenes, and wish me well! Hugs, Robin

Where is the big problem in The Mayden Chronicles? We need to know… and soon

Hey Everyone!

Well, my spring is off to a great start, and I’ll have even more time for writing Mayden this summer as I’ve taken time off from my mentoring work! I’m hoping for a new chapter once a week or more instead of the usual once every ten days! We will see…
