October, 2023ish. Sarasvati Creative Space posts a blog/page about me as a previous resident. It’s more extensive than I figured. It says about me, “Devon has self-published novels and maintained an active foot in the writing world as a critic in book reviews, an analyzer of social culture, and an overall advocate for the joy of reading and importance of books in society.”
October 2023 means Preptober! Devon readied for Nanowrimo all month long, including a local kickoff celebration. Check out nanowrimo.org to sign up, get ideas for prepping, and find local (and virtual) events (this or future years).
October, 2023. Devon was in residence at Sarasvati Creative Space at Camp Wander Wonder for one week, with her pup! She also participated in the farm stay scholarship and got lots of inspiration for both her novel that takes place on a farm in Appalachia and all things writing.
September, 2023. After a wild and crazy summer of change, Devon returned to the schoolyear swing with a return residency at the Weymouth Center for Arts and Humanities. It’s like her home away from home.
Spring, 2023. The Edge hit “THE END.” Then it was time to marinade before turning around and revising the thing.
March 7, 2023. Devon hit 100,000 words on the fast draft of The Edge. At that point, it looked like it was 2/3rds-3/4ths done. That meant it was going to take longer than she thought based on industry standards. Benevolent was 121,442 words and the rough draft of The Journey of Clement Fancywater (in edits) was 109,700. Devon write big books and she cannot lie…
February 1-March 10, 2023. Devon began “fast-drafting” the rest of The Edge, which is the first book in The Edge YA trilogy. Then she typed “THE END” at the end, this time in Scrivener.

November 31, 2022, midnight. Devon won Nanowrimo (with minutes to spare, being cheered on by local Nano peeps and awarded with virtual foreworks)! Apparently, it’s a first. 50,000 words on the page in November! And now she has the tee shirt to prove it.
November, 2022. Devon joined Nanowrimo in earnest, finishing the first draft of The Journey of Clement Fancywater and writing more than 30,000 words in a brand new, YA, trilogy project (The Edge).
October 2022. Devon attended a couple workshops offered by the local library system in partnership with Nanowrimo and led by Phillip M. Locey. For that matter, she also headed to a couple other Nano gatherings in preparation for November 1.

November 2021. Devon participated in Nanowrimo 2021 to tie the ends on several projects.
October, 2021. Devon headed to Weymouth Center for the Arts in Southern Pines, NC, for a one-week residency where she put many key-strokes on The Journey of Clement Fancywater and strolled down small-town streets drinking tea clouds and buying books she shouldn’t be.

April, 2021. Devon is awarded a Parent-Writer Fellowship for the Martha’s Vineyard Writing Institute Conference in June. Since it’s a virtual year due to a pandemic, she is looking for a solitary place to stay. May update: she wasgifted a stay at a relative/arts patron’s veeeery nice second home in Delray Beach, FL.
April 2021. Devon attended a (really good) publishing seminar put on by Quail Ridge Books, featuring Scott Reintgen.
April 2020. Devon participated in Covid-19 Camp Nanowrimo to work on bits and pieces: some shorts, some essays, and some of the next novel. The real goal during the stay-at-home order, though, was to edit and submit.
March 2020. Devon visited a book club in Holly Springs NC, to discuss Benevolent and what it’s like to be a writer. The club reads eleven books a year, and Benevolent was February’s book! (Not all members pictured)

April 2018. Devon tackled a 20,000 word writing goal for Camp NaNoWriMo, and made it to right around 13,000. She blamed falling short on the 5-day migraine. And life.
