And on July 18, 2023, I became a published author!! Thank you so much to everyone who has been part of this journey. Here's to more books n the near future! #NovelJourney

On March 1, 2023, I celebrated the end of working on the novel after 5 years #NovelJourney

On July 21, 2022, I finally got a book deal! #NovelJourney

On May 5, 2021, I signed with a literary agent! I was that much closer to accomplishing my goal #NovelJourney

After multiple drafts, I finally finished my book and was ready to query. I had pushed through a major re-write, the challenges of being a new mother, the pandemic, and tennis elbow. #NovelJourney

By 2020, I was developing the recipes for the Singular Cookies in my book! #NovelJourney

Before revising that first draft, I had to design the company that's at the setting of my book, Singular Cookies, Inc. #NovelJourney

By January 11, 2019, I had already written 12K words! I finished the draft the next month. #NovelJourney

I started outlining the book in the fall of 2018. At that point, I'd shelved my first novel but was committed to creating my future of becoming a published author. #NovelJourney

It's been two years since my debut novel, One Tough Cookie, was published! 🎉 Here's a look back at the journey from outlining to publication. 📚 #NovelJourney #OneToughCookieNovel
