And that means NaNoWriMo, which I have decided to participate in as a REBEL, which means that instead of having a goal of WRITING 50,000 words by the end of the month, I am hoping to EDIT 60,000 words and finish this first pass of edits on Towers of Might and Memory, the fifth book in my Turrim Archive series!
This link-up is a beautiful and fun 3-part blogging prompt that my dear friend Christine created a few years ago.

Not in the normal way, anyway.
I’m such a rebel.
However, I am still participating in Christine’s KNOW THE NOVEL linkup because I can, and because I am working on my stories. I’m just not drafting. Rebel, remember?
You can find more info about her link-up HERE!

Did I just… turns around several times, looking perplexed… I could have sworn it was around here somewhere!
Hang on a sec.
Disappears into another room. Returns a few minutes later, even more confused.
Seriously. Where did it go? I KNOW it was July. I had it RIGHT HERE like THREE DAYS AGO!
Looks up and notices audience.
Oh. Heh heh. Hi there, dear Reader. Soooo…. I definitely didn’t mean to go on hiatus for all of July. I had some blog posts planned… I think they were even good ones! I’ll have to use them some other time, clearly.

I’m especially pleased that a few of you who have been reading quietly for a while have felt comfortable saying “hi” here and there, as well!

A couple months ago before I went on a short hiatus, I invited you to ask me your questions so I could do a sort of “get to know me” post since I haven’t done one in a while.
And boy did you deliver on the questions! Thank you so much! A post like this really doesn’t happen without YOUR help and input, and I am very grateful that you felt comfortable asking away!

In its very earliest stages, it was simply the glimmering of an idea as I tried to come up with something that would work for Kendra’s Fairy Tale Retelling Challenge and multi-author-release. She told us that the theme would be Rapunzel back in… I believe it was 2018.

That’s where it all started.
