So…it’s been awhile. Hello to all of you wonderful people, who take the time to read the blog of a crazy writer with a busy work life (unfortunately not having to do with writing as much as I wish) with an equally as busy mind trying to find time for what she loves to do. Yeah that’s a mouth full.
Anyways, I thought I would take the time on this day where I actually have a moment to do so and write a post. It is the busy Holiday season where all of the stress can start to overpower the wonderful parts about the Holidays, if you let it. But I try to enjoy what I can about this season. Just remember that everything will work out just the way it’s supposed to and take a moment every now and then for yourself, you deserve it.
For the first time in many years, most of the presents (except for those with shipping delays) are wrapped and set under the tree. All the cookies are baked and my husband and I are actually ready for all things holiday with time to spare. I tried to make things easier on myself and do a little at a time when I had the chance.
Although I know that some of you may be having stresses of your own, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Especially don’t be afraid to take a moment to drink hot cocoa, watch a Christmas movie or go for a drive to see Christmas lights. Those are wonderful memories to share with the ones you love. Life is short and those moments are ones you’ll cherish. This has been such a tough year for everyone, so a moment to lift your spirits, whether you are by yourself or sharing it with others is long over due.
As for an Author update…I am still chugging along when I can. My beta reader is reading when they can and that’s all I can ask for. My synopsis is coming along. I work on it every chance I get. I also have had other book ideas and written down notes for those. As well as written another short story on Reedsy. If you are ever on there and would like to read the three I have posted then it is under my pen name, the same as my Facebook page.
In the mean time, writing also takes research, and I take great pride in that. So naturally as I always do I have been keeping up with my reading as well :). On book two of the Harry Potter series right now, I believe it is the perfect season for them. As I am a multi-genre writer, I am also the same way with reading, of course.
I also wanted to take the time to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I hope y’all have a wonderful Holiday season filled with lots of time spent with loved ones and enjoying the little things that make this season so magical.
Thank you for reading my blog…Until Next Time…JUST KEEP WRITING.
