🚫DMs - Ava writes propulsive, upmarket and historical fiction that explores friendship, family ties, and love.

I hit 10,000 words on my rough draft this week, and I am enjoying the research. I learned that one historical figure lived in my neighborhood, and that her children went to the same elementary school as my children. This makes me feel like I have a personal connection and motivates me to keep going.

Book Review The Roach King of Raleigh by Shannon Stocker I loved reading this gentle YA about Quill, a boy caught up in his family's adult problems, as he tries to navigate his new normal living in a rundown rental house where a slumlord's son exerts his dominance.

FAQ about writing Where did you get the idea for your book? I wrote character descriptions, then I laid out an outline starting with the beginning and ending. Then I filled in the outline by creating character arcs for each character and working out how the pieces fit together. #writingcommunity
