Page from unreleased book, note says “Still needs work” ##2. Not So Fast Cowboy (Larry) ++STILL NEEDS WORK++ He'd been out walking around the city tonight because he couldn't shake the image. The one that kept him awake most nights. Veronica, all fury and fangs, on fire. She was a vampire, but she'd stepped into the setting sun to save his life. He'd thought their semi-date and make out session had been good, but he'd not thought she liked him as much as he liked her. Almost dying to save your sorry ass is a good sign a girl likes you,_ he rationalized as he rounded the corner on another block. However, this seemed contradicted by the way she'd left after being injured. Off to a house of healing, _whatever that is, _ with no communication since.

Notes I leave for myself when editing become more pointed the longer the re-write process goes on. #indieauthor #writingchallenges (Chapter 2 of Vampire Detective Agency: Double Date)

How the 75-Day Soft Joa Challenge is Helping Me Beat Procrastination I’ll admit it: procrastination has been one of my oldest companions. For years, I convinced myself I worked best under pressure. I let deadlines slide, told myself I needed to “wait for inspiration,” or that I would be more focused tomorrow. Tomorrow often stretched into weeks. But something had to change if I wanted to treat my writing like more than just a dream.

Procrastination used to rule my writing life. That is until I created the 75-Day Soft Joa Challenge and started scheduling editors.
✨ Now, I’m hitting deadlines without the last-minute panic.

Read how I’m making it happen on the blog!

The 75 Day Soft Joa Challenge: Growth in the Uncomfortable Zone I’m thirty days into my 75 Day Soft Joa Challenge, and let me tell you—this challenge has been equal parts humbling, empowering, and a little bit “what-the-hell-am-I-doing.” It doesn’t happen every day, but on the days when I don’t want to do the tasks—when the urge to postpone creeps in—that’s when the real test begins. That moment of hesitation has become my internal alarm bell.

Day 30 of my 75 Day Soft Joa Challenge and I’ve learned one big truth: greatness isn’t in the comfort zone—it’s in the what-the-f*ck-am-I-doing zone. This challenge has been a blessing, fueling my writing and giving me the courage to dig deeper into The Forgotten Bruja.
