Some things have ended, others have started, and I&#8217;m not quite sure how I&#8217;m handling all of it. I&#8217;m not going to discuss that, or what&#8217;s really going on yet. I&#8217;m going to talk about writing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I know, shocking. But I&#8217;ve not really been writing lately, and I&#8217;ve realized that how I deal with the stresses life gives me goes down in quality when I don&#8217;t write. The problem is giving myself permission to take some time for me, and write. I need to get myself into that headspace, and even if it&#8217;s only 250 words, or a blog post, or a character sketch for the new book I want to write, I need to do it. So hopefully, you&#8217;ll be seeing more here.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still working on the rewrite of\u00a0<em>Winter Secrets<\/em>, which should hopefully be done soon. Today, I&#8217;m editing for a friend, who has a new book coming out in May that I think you guys will like (think CSI meets Fern Gully). And I&#8217;ll have some new stuff coming along &#8211; I&#8217;m playing with redesigning the website, and adding some more links. Considering a Patreon site as well. Maybe some guest blogs? And some tea stuff, because, well, tea.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And writing. Always writing. Because first and foremost, I am a writer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Life has been complicated lately.
