Hi friends! Climbing out of the dust and cobwebs to say hello! I’m currently finishing up my last year of grad school so life has gotten to be just chaotically busy. Hoping to be able to write again one day. Sending you all the love and good vibes for some writing today!

[Kay Apel is trying to survive grad school @KayApelWrites]

@CKnightWrites I’m so sorry Charlie. Healthcare in America makes me so so sad, especially as a nurse myself. Oh how I wish I could fix a lot of things…On another note, happy birthday! I hope you are able to do something you enjoy for your special day.

Hi friends! Dropping in to say that no, I did not drop off the face of the Earth! Life has been very VERY busy as of late so unfortunately writing has been put on the back burner. Hope to be back soon! Sending you all some good vibes and inspiration on this lazy Sunday! ❤️

Also, I know I’m very late to the party but, I just scored this new book that I cannot wait to read. Congratulations to @AJWhiteAuthor on his release of HELL FOLLOWED WITH US! So excited to read it, AJ!

Helps fuel the writing phase! Here’s to a new year with new goals!

[Kay Apel is trying to survive grad school @KayApelWrites]

Hi All! I know things have been quiet here on the home front but I’m trying to make my way back into writing. 2022 was a bit of a roughish year filled with some anxiety and other crappy things but all is hopefully well now. I did do some serious reading though so hopefully that..

As a writer, I have SO much respect for the Duffer Brothers and their intricate world building and plot twists. Straight up AMAZING

Just finished Stranger Things and OMG #StrangerThingS

Let’s go PUFFS!!! #TournamentOfHouses #hufflepuff

I FINALLY MADE IT TO 5,000 words! I know it’s not much but this story has been kind of slow going for me with work and everything. I wasn’t even sure I was going to be able to make it this far. Hoping I can keep it up but honestly just happy to be writing again #NaNoWriMo

[Kay Apel is trying to survive grad school @KayApelWrites]

@Alex_Micati Official or not, you sound like you’re crushing it! Wahoo!

[Kay Apel is trying to survive grad school @KayApelWrites]

Well my word count kinda sucks but there is one thing I’m proud of: I’ve written even single day of NaNo so far. November is always a very busy month for us so even just a couple words a day can make such a big difference for me. Hoping to keep this going the rest of the month!

[Kay Apel is trying to survive grad school @KayApelWrites]

@Alex_Micati Are you doing NaNo this year Alex? If so how is it going for you?!

[Kay Apel is trying to survive grad school @KayApelWrites]

While I’m at it, I might as well ask about my secret novel too. What do you think of the names Ashton (female), Greyson (male), Dominick, and Clay. Do those sound okay all together?

[Kay Apel is trying to survive grad school @KayApelWrites]

Which names sound better for my serial killer book?

[Kay Apel is trying to survive grad school @KayApelWrites]

@DawnHosmer7 I’m so sorry to hear this. Sending prayers and love to you and your family. Stay strong!

[Kay Apel is trying to survive grad school @KayApelWrites]

Ended day 1 of Nano with 665 words. Not as much as I would like but more than I started with. Trying not to be too hard on myself. Onto day 2 of writing!

[Kay Apel is trying to survive grad school @KayApelWrites]

@Alex_Micati Oooooooooo I like that one!

[Kay Apel is trying to survive grad school @KayApelWrites]

Three years later and I’m finally writing STABBY LOVE. Haha. Still working on that title though. #NaNoWriMo

[Kay Apel is trying to survive grad school @KayApelWrites]

Came up with a book idea that involves a serial killer in love. The working title until I actually figure out the real one? STABBY LOVE 😂❤️🔪😂

Happy first day of #NaNoWriMo! Best of luck to all participating and remember, whether you win or not, every word counts and it’s more than you had at the beginning of the month!
