January 2023 Roundup

On January 31, 2023 By K.M. Allan7 Comments

Welcome to the January 2023 roundup! Well, it looks like the quickness of 2022 has followed us into 2023 as we're already one month down! It feels like I just barely got back to my writing desk after spending most of December in Sydney visiting family for Christmas, and I'm trying my best to get …

Yearly Roundup 2022

On December 21, 2022 By K.M. Allan21 Comments

Welcome to the 2022 blog roundup! As is the tradition since the start of my blog in 2017, I'm rounding up the year that was, as well as my December! This year felt like it went by so fast that it's hard to remember getting anything done. I did, though. In fact, I released a …

November 2022 Roundup

Welcome to the November 2022 roundup! Can you believe we've just finished the second last month of 2022? While the end of the year always goes by super quick, it feels like the whole year has been like that and I've been trying to make progress on as many goals as I can so I …

October 2022 Roundup

Welcome to the October 2022 roundup! If you read last month's roundup, you'll know I was heading off for the surgery I'd been waiting over a year to have. Unfortunately, for the fourth time since 2020, it was canceled while I sat in hospital admissions and I really began to question if the universe was …

September 2022 Roundup

On September 25, 2022October 7, 2022 By K.M. Allan18 Comments

Welcome to the September 2022 roundup! Don't worry, I didn't accidentally publish this post before the 30th, which is when it would usually hit your inboxes/feed. Although it's a recurring fear that I will hit publish instead of save draft anytime I'm working on blogs, I'm purposely publishing this roundup blog early because I'm taking …

August 2022 Roundup

On August 31, 2022 By K.M. Allan10 Comments

Welcome to the August 2022 roundup! Finally, I can write a monthly roundup and use the words: I released a book! It's been 2 years between novels, which was not something I intended. Like everyone in the world, the pandemic threw things for a loop and my creativity was not where it needed to be …

July 2022 Roundup

On July 31, 2022 By K.M. Allan2 Comments

Welcome to the July 2022 roundup! Well, this was yet another blink and you've missed it month! July went by so fast for me, mainly because I spent a solid two weeks of it working on the final draft of Blackbirch #3. The awesome #6amAusWriters on Twitter ran a #WinterWritingWarmUp event, and I used the …

June 2022 Roundup

On June 30, 2022 By K.M. Allan14 Comments

Welcome to the June 2022 roundup! This month, I took some time off from writing. One reason was that my mum came to visit from Sydney for an extended weekend. The other was because I was in a bit of a funk. After coming off a real writer's high of finally finishing my Blackbirch 3 …

Welcome to the May 2022 roundup! Finally, a monthly update where I can say I finished my edits of Blackbirch 3, draft 10! The MS I'd been working on for 6 months is in the hands of new beta readers and getting closer to the end of the editing process so it can move to …
