One of my first and simplest pieces of digital typography. A line from How To Adult, @tmichaelmartin. Still proud if it, even if I've grown a lot since then.

Took me nine years to give it a go, but I did it! I wrote the first draft of my first novel in one month! NaNoWriMo is such a great motivational event. I hope to come back to it again in the future.

Thanks to Mike Martin for all his help developing the story and outline very early on. This is an idea I've wanted to write since high school, and if it weren't for your help, it would still just be a "some day" daydream. Also to Kristen for listening and offering advice when I'd babble on forever about my characters and all the shit they were getting into.

And to all of you for being so supportive and not unfollowing me when I posted one too many updates about NaNo this month (and all the updates to follow as I rewrite, revise, write some more, and then edit, re-edit... and then edit again).

Last week I had my first meeting with my writing coach, Mike Martin. I thought it’d be interesting to document a few of these meetings, not only for myself, but for anyone who may be consider…

Had my first meeting with my writing coach. Wrote up a little report for those who are interested in behind the scenes stuff, or for those who may be considering hiring a writing coach for themselves.

After I finished the outline for my first novel last week, I emailed my friend T. Michael Martin (author of The End Games and Mr. Fahrenheit) to ask if he would look it over, maybe offer some sugge…

This month I hired a writing coach to help me get started with my first novel. Did you know this service even existed? I didn’t.

So I wrote a blog post all about what a writing coach does, what they don’t do, and how to find one.

(I also re-launched my personal site last week, so forgive the bare bones. The relaunch included my first ever email newsletter, so if you’d like one or two emails per month about my various projects, sign up!)

Congratulations @tmichaelmartin!

Books from actual ray of sunshine @tmichaelmartin arrived this rainy day!

I’ve been snapping myself reading @tmichaelmartin‘s book Mr. Fahrenheit and sending those snaps directly to him for the last two days but he hasn’t noticed yet, they are all still unopened.

I’d call it a real-time review, but mostly it’s just chapter headings and me apologizing over and over for how slow of a reader I am.
