But I&#8217;m in San Diego, at my hotel, and I have hours tomorrow morning to write, while at the moment, I&#8217;m so exhausted I can barely see straight. I leave tomorrow afternoon to head up to Pasadena for Pokem\u00f3n Go Fest at the Rose Bowl Stadium on Saturday. Sunday and Monday, my bestie, Stay Sea, and I will wander the streets of LA in the rain and play tourist before heading back Monday evening. Then I&#8217;m back here for a few days before getting back on a plane to Pennsylvania.<br>I&#8217;m going to be real with you. California still feels like home. It could be because my best friend is here and she&#8217;s home for me. Whatever it is, it makes it really easy to be here.<br>So, I will finish the SHELBY alpha draft tomorrow. ROAN&#8217;s alpha draft is complete already. I&#8217;m finishing SHELBY before ROAN because it&#8217;s supposed to be a Valentine&#8217;s story, and I&#8217;d like to get it out somewhat timely\u2026 even if it is late. Then, I will work on ROAN.<br>The alpha draft for the book after is already written. I will release the YA Dystopian story under the pen name Clare Lukas, my new YA brand.<br>I&#8217;m posting a little teaser here for you. I hope you enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/theskywriteshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Shelby-Teaser-1-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theskywriteshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Shelby-Teaser-1-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/theskywriteshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Shelby-Teaser-1-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/theskywriteshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Shelby-Teaser-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/theskywriteshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Shelby-Teaser-1-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/theskywriteshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Shelby-Teaser-1.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am so dang close to finishing the first draft of SHELBY it gives me the shakes to stop.
