I started writing my current work-in-progress in October 2020. I had written 34,352 words or 134 pages. That’s about 1/3 of the way through the novel I’ve been working on. It’s a story I’m passionate about telling, but I had written myself into a proverbial brick wall. I had lost the voice of my protagonist and the plot had begun to unravel. There were already some significant changes made as I was working on the manuscript and several chapters would need to be rewritten from scratch anyway.

Earlier in October 2021, I decided to hit the reset button. I've been writing like a fiend trying to get back on track. I'm proud to report that I am now at 14,433 words in my new draft and still writing. Now with the start of National Novel Writing Month, I’m keeping up the progress and aiming to finish this draft as a full Young Adult-genre novel telling a Latinx story that deserves to be told. Keep a look out for my updates on this work in progress.

Thanks for all the support!
