Monday Musings: April Writing Review

April was a whirlwind. Much happened that I can’t talk about yet, but I hope I can talk about at the end of May or the beginning of June.

I will say I am currently writing a fiction novel for upper elementary students. I’m on the seventh chapter. I joined a group for black women fiction writers, and they have helping me transition to this type of writing. One lady said, your story reads like nonfiction…which I had to laugh at because that is typically what I write outside of poetry. After some feedback, I revised a few paragraphs and the ladies said, “You’ve got it now.” I will continue to work on that, write on my gardening blog, and keep you all in the know about education in Indiana.

Check out my work from April, and let me know what you think.

As always, thanks for supporting my work.
