So Alyssa from The Great Noveling Adventure contacted me for an interview!

This was my face when I got the email :P

If you'd like to see how bad at math I am, click riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight here!



What I'm reading:
I'm still reading Ellen Oh's PROPHECY :) ASIA BASED HIGH FANTASY NOVELS ARE THE BEST!

What I'm writing:
The Ghost Story is officially at 23K!!! It'll probably get to 25K tonight :)

Here's another excerpt! My MC and her friends are about to figure out what's been waiting for them in a certain safety deposit box...
**************
I feel like a bank robber. I shouldn’t, since we have a key and Cam’s Josh’s sister, but there’s something really weird about going through someone else’s safety deposit box.
“Are you ready?” Cam asks as we all sit in the car outside of the bank. No one answers. “I’m gonna take that as a yes,” she says, switching the ignition off. “Just…just let me do the talking, okay?”
We all get out of the car without saying anything else. After everything that happened last night, I don’t think any of us got a lot of sleep. My hand still stings from that whole blood ritual thing, and Leo hasn’t spoken to any of us.
He’s been so quiet. I don’t know what to do to help him.
Jeff nudges me, trying to smile. “You look like you came out of a horror movie.”

“Yeah, and you look like a beauty queen.”
**************

(Attainable!) Goal is 40K by the end of August!!!

What else I've been up to:
I GOT A JOB!!! I'll be moving to Salem, Massachusetts very soon and will have lots of updates, especially around Halloween (they celebrate Halloween the WHOLE month of October!)

What inspires me right now:
GHOSTS.

In honor of my new job, WITCHES.

Pretty much anything creepy.

Happy Writing!
