Coming Down to the Wire!

Published by Jack on March 7, 2023

Hello readers!

i\’m closing in on completing the first full draft of Shay lark and the silver skull! i\’ll be sending it off to an editor soon, so it\’s getting really real. 🙂

Let me just say it\’s been quite an adventure, having started way back in November 2022 with the naWriMo challenge. (if you don\’t know what that is, check out the website)

i actually had the idea for the shay lark character way back in january 2019, but it took me a while to really hone in on what i wanted to do with her. i think this book really sets her up to be a strong, confident teenage girl, and hopefully as a role model for those that can relate to her and her story.

anyway, i\’ll get back to writing, as i\’m down to the last couple chapters. i\’m ecstatic that i will soon get to share with y\’all everything about shay lark, teen adventurer!
