Word of the Week: Minutiae
First, a weekly update...
It's been a busy week, so I haven't gotten much writing done, but I did workshop the first part of my second novel at UNLV. Once I graduate in a few weeks, I should have more time to spend on creating stories. I really want to get my first novel ready for publication. Does anyone know a freelance editor? If so, leave a comment.

Book Suggestion - This week I read Declutter Your Mind: How to Stop Worrying, Relieve Anxiety, and Eliminate Negative Thinking. The book is broken into four parts: Decluttering Your Thoughts, Decluttering Your Life Obligations, Decluttering Your Relationships, and Decluttering Your Surroundings. It's an insightful, short book that is also free if you sign up for Kindle Unlimited. Learn more by clicking on the book cover below...
