Full version of Music for New People is back up and rolling for the Wattys. It's even got pictures now! It's a great summer read. Check it out and give it some love. I am grateful. https://www.wattpad.com/myworks/58518275-music-for-new-people

Final edits of New People are done. I've cut the original 160,000 words down to 85,000. It's a good story and goes out there in a lot of ways. Please have a look and give it some love. https://www.wattpad.com/202085897-music-for-new-people-1-things-get-a-little-weird

See my essay posted to Medium on what I learned writing a novel narrated by a 15-year-old girl. Also, what I learned reading great female authors. https://www.wattpad.com/224941039-why-i-wrote-a-novel-by-a-girl
          
          ...and sorry if you got some failed-link messages earlier. :-(

I just posted an inspired essay on the importance of the Supergirl TV show. If you're a cynical person, you probably shouldn't read this...although, if you want to start an argument that's okay. But if you like the piece, give it some love and Please Share.

Chapter 2 of MUSIC FOR NEW PEOPLE -- "Rhino Butts" --  is posted. In which Ivy learns nothing is ever simple with people you've just met who seem to be kind of cool. https://www.wattpad.com/202196514-music-for-new-people-2-rhino-butts

Music for New People is on the rise. I want to add the sub-title "A Coming-of-Age Novel for Intelligent Teens and the Adults Who Love Them" Ivy Scattergood is a card-carrying member of Nerd Girl Nation. Read her story and let her know your thoughts. Romance comes along in this novel, but you gotta wait. https://www.wattpad.com/story/58518275-music-for-new-people

For the next few weeks I'm posting revised chapters from my novel-in-progress New Creatures, now with the working title MUSIC FOR NEW PEOPLE. A lot has changed. Please check out the first chapter and let me know your thoughts and/or give it some Wattpad love. https://www.wattpad.com/story/58518275-music-for-new-people

Please see this very short piece I've written after being inspired by a bunch of dancers. It's a three minute read. But important. https://www.wattpad.com/story/56660014

It's never easy to really know what's going on with your stuff on WattPad, is it? Just learned that NEW CREATURES made Teen Fiction Community list "The Climb" Thanks to that community's leaders! I'm honored. https://www.wattpad.com/list/184086092-the-climb

I did some interesting (weird maybe) experimental writing in a way in New Creatures. Two key scenes where all sorts of plot stuff is happening  (including romance) during baseball games. I really think someone(s) need to critique these. You need to read the whole book, though. https://www.wattpad.com/story/18226773-new-creatures
