My reaction to the long-anticipated conclusion to Stephanie Garber's Once Upon a Broken Heart Trilogy
I finally made it through a problem scene last week! I still don't know that I love the scene by itself, but it now does what I need it to with a more continuous flow to and from the scenes around it.

Review of Hannah F. Whitten's first entry in the Wilderwood series
In the past two weeks, I have marked my seven year anniversary of blogging, put a pretty good dent in my Christmas shopping, got a little extra time with my niece, and had some glorious writing days (this past Thursday, that's all I did—minus the time it took to shower—from morning until bedtime).
