I've fallen behind again, ugh. Sunday I worked sixteen hours, and I should have posted to let you all know that there was no way I could upload as per my usual schedule. Since I'll be working double shifts for the next three Sundays, I'll go ahead and modify my schedule. I will upload a … Continue reading In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 7

In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 6
Greetings! After an almost apocalyptic day at work, coming home and editing chapter 6 has been a perfect little getaway. I realized that chapter 5 was a little bit too long (2,746 words, ouch!), and so I will try and revise that within the next week. Chapter 6 is a much more manageable 1,688 words. … Continue reading In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 6
In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 5
Looks like I've got a small group of loyal followers! Shout out to you guys for liking my chapters and keeping me motivated! While editing this chapter I gave a lot of thought to taking out the minor plot point about Ross' track team being divided up into smaller groups. I feel that this may … Continue reading In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 5
In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 4
I am happy to publish chapter 4, which I have carefully edited. This chapter was probably the most pleasant for me to review so far, as I feel like it really establishes the nadir that Ross is in. Also, these themes of the need for simple human recognition, honesty in dating, and overcoming one's own … Continue reading In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 4
In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 3
I'd like to apologize for not uploading chapter 3 on Wednesday, as I should have. Once I was off work at 3:00 I went straight on to a five-hour drive to visit my mom. This weekend has been an incredible rush of nostalgia, revisiting my alma mater Texas Tech and catching up with friends, professors, … Continue reading In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 3

In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 1
I never thought there would be life after Ana. The way she broke up with me, like letting go of a clear plastic bag with a store-bought gold fish and watching it explode on the floor, left me breathless and shriveled up inside. Ana was the one staring down at me, watching as I flopped … Continue reading In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 1
In the Words of Your Love, Query Letter
Hello all! Sorry for the dearth of blog entries this past month. I've been committed to helping preserve sanity at my job, exercising, applying to grad schools, and loving my boyfriend in the blink of an eye that is a 24-hour day. I am happy to say that I've worked up the courage to start … Continue reading In the Words of Your Love, Query Letter
Saying “Adios, Nirvana”
You have your thicks, your Vodka-laced grapes, your priceless cherry red Ric 360-6 guitar, donated by none other than the great Eddie Vedder. The death of a twin brother, and a sixteen year-old's subsequent angst mixed with taurine-laced poetry writing and jam sessions. Now you're immersed in Adios, Nirvana, a YA novel by Conrad Wesselhoeft, who … Continue reading Saying “Adios, Nirvana”
The Young Adult Novelist
Asserting that every genre has its specific niche writers, the ones who best capture the flow and nuances of that category, is a well-worn claim. Yet for every die hard who claims that Young Adult novels should be written by young adults, or that morticians and FBI agents churn out the best crime novels, there … Continue reading The Young Adult Novelist
