Reese's Bookclub LitUp Update.

Pursuing Untold Stories

'In the Ruins' is a pick!

​

'Maropeng: In the Ruins', has been selected as one of the five winners of Reese's Bookclub LitUp Fellowship Cycle 3.

​

Aaaahhh!!!

It feels so incredibly surreal to have embarked on a journey I never wanted to in the first place (LOL), only for it to pivot in this major way! One of the biggest lessons for me from all of this is: Give way to God every time! He truly goes beyond one's imagination.

​

I will be heading to Nashville, Tennessee, in the second week of June for a Retreat to kickstart my journey with Reese's Bookclub LitUp. And before that I will find out which published author will be mentoring me (another - ahhhhh!!)

​

I will be in touch when I return from Nashville.

​

I appreciate your support. If you know anyone who'd like to be a part of this journey, please encourage them sign up for the newsletter at ntebogeng.com​

​

Thank you for sharing this moment with me.

Truly, that’s how I’ve been feeling lately. I had a personal goal to finish my current round of edits by the end of March... and well, March has come and gone, and I’m still at it! But I’m making good progress, so no complaints. If you haven't read Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals, by Oliver Burkeman, I HIGHLY...

Ntebogeng Mahlare Archer Author Newsletter, Issue # 4 • January 2025 DUMELANG (Hello), Interestingly, it’s been fairly easy to remember to change my date to 2025. Maybe it was just something that happened when I was in school, but I remember it taking a while to get used to writing the new year—January 2024...oops, January 2025. I hope you’ve had, or are having, a wonderful holiday/festive season, wherever you are in the world. My year has started off at a steady pace. The children are back...
