Competency and Confidence
Education said that's mastery... is it?
Hello, lovelies!
It’s been wild month. We’re not too many sleeps away from NaNoWriMo. Can you believe it? If you’re in the trenches of Preptober and need some help, feel welcome to click here and learn about some freebies to help you and a social media challenge to keep you going as we move into NaNo.
A question that often came up throughout my career in K12 education as an English teacher was how do we define mastery? I was going to do only a post here on the topic, but I realized it came out better as a vlog. So, that’s the topic we’re facing this Tuesday on my YouTube channel. Click here to join us. There’s going to be two more reflections and two more sprints next weekend before we start NaNoWriMo proper. I am so honored and thankful to be able to write another book this year.
One of those live streams is going to be a fun night! On October 27, we’re doing a costume party theme!
Speaking of… I’ve been slowly getting myself back into the world of VITAELANGICA proper this month, and I am happy to say that not only do we have ten or more chapters of Book 1 added to Ream Stories (click here).
There’s actually a lot of fun things going on over at Ream Stories these days, lovelies.
Ream Stories has access to a few videos before all of you. They have TWO of the multiple teasers. Get on over there to get them before they come out here and publicly on YouTube by clicking here.
I cannot wait to share all of the wonderful things going on with you in the future. Thank you for being part of my side quests.
Take care of you,
Jenna O’Malley

17-year-old Noah lives a simple life in poverty with his grandmother. This changes overnight, as he comes into an elemental inheritance with god-imbued powers and learns he is the last descendant of an ancient line of royal magic.
He is swept into a journey fleeing from a corrupted ruler hellbent on destroying the last remnants of Noah's lineage. Noah's journey is filled with magic, danger, and a forbidden love with a man from his dreams. Now Noah's choices will save - or destroy - the world and those he holds dearest.
