Writing Victories

1. Amy has been writing on her nearly completed “Oceans” novel and her autobiography.

3. Shannon polished up his tribute piece to Nick and submitted it to the anthology he’s been published in the last several years.
4. Xander wrote an outline for his story “The Hooblity-Gack.”
5. Amy’s short story, to be published as a graphic novel, was picked up and currently is having the scenes drawn and the dialogue written. She will soon be recording a podcast about it.
