How I Wrote My Young Adult Novel

June 10, 2022 ~ heyujas ~ Leave a comment

On June 28th, I didn’t know what I had envisioned being a short story would turn into my second novel. After I fell in love with my main characters, I knew that the story must continue. And it did. I planned to discovery write along the way and learn more about my characters as time … Continue reading How I Wrote My Young Adult Novel

The End Is In Sight

April 18, 2022April 18, 2022 ~ heyujas ~ Leave a comment

This month is Camp NaNoWriMo, which happens in April and July. It’s a less intense version of NaNoWriMo, where us writers come together to work on any writing project we want. This is my first time participating, and so far so good. My loose goal (I say loose because while it would be great to … Continue reading The End Is In Sight

Imposter or Storyteller?

February 21, 2022February 20, 2022 ~ heyujas ~ 1 Comment

It's crazy how you could be treading mud trying to make your way through a scene and feel like it isn’t that great. Then, time goes by, and you realize it's surprisingly good when you go back to read it. That's how imposter syndrome works. It's like the waves – a constant ebb and flow. … Continue reading Imposter or Storyteller?

What I’ve Been Reading

August 16, 2021 ~ heyujas ~ 5 Comments

If you didn’t know, Goodreads has a 2021 Reading Challenge where you can set how many books you want to read for the year. Just recently, I got back into reading consistently. I fell off of it for a while because of life, but I’ve enjoyed getting eBooks and audiobooks from my library as of … Continue reading What I’ve Been Reading

Merry Christmas from our quirky little family! 🎄👩🏾‍🤝‍👨🏽🐽🐕
We Bought A House & Got A Puppy?! 🏡🐕 I still can’t believe it! Life has sure been eventful, and I love it! Thank you, honey, for living this wacky 🤪 life with me. I love you soooooo much! 🤗😚☺️
Hubby, you make my life sweeter, funnier and more fulfilled than I ever could’ve imagined. God created a masterpiece that is you on this day, and I am eternally grateful for it! I love you I love you I love you! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!🤗🥳🤗🥳🤗🥳 #itsyourbirthday
Babe 🥰, to call you my own has been the greatest gift I have been given in this life. Selfless. Compassionate. Noble. These are just a few things

I did it! 🥳 The first draft of my second novel is complete! Wow! I started this YA Contemporary novel on June 28th, 2021, and it’s now fully drafted on May 28th, 2022 (exactly 11 months since then). I didn’t plan that, but that’s so incredible considering the years it took me to write my first book. While my first book is my baby and will always have a special place in my heart, I am so excited for where my second book will go. So now, here’s where the hard work starts. But like I said when I got to 50,000 words, I want to remember this moment. On this day, my second novel is fully drafted at over 72,000 words, and I couldn’t be more proud of myself for it! If you would like to be a #betareader (someone who can look over my work and give me input), please don’t hesitate to DM me! #writingcommunity #amwriting #ya
