What's Going On?

Hi all!

I’m just checking in with an update.

The last several months have been pretty crazy for me. And to be perfectly honest, I should be packing right now; but I felt the need to write something.

I mentioned in my very first blog that I typically write to work through my emotions. I have a history of depression and on more than one occasion have attempted to end my own life. (I’m not ashamed to admit these things, because mental health should not be ignored and brushed off.) But I’ve found that writing is cathartic. It helps me to work through all of that and allows me to purge all of those emotions. I will be honest, I haven’t had a lot of time recently to work on my writing, but I’d also be lying if I said I haven’t been feeling myself falling into a bit of a depressed state.

This past week, I’ve gained a lot of creative inspiration from a lot of people and events. I have yet another idea for two more books and several colorful characters. (I'm guessing most people ignore my funny little posts that say “Be careful how you act or what you say to a writer, you might end up in a book”?) Ha ha ha.

Needless to say, I now have a fire under me to get this second book out there, complete the third in this series and start a new one. I just have to force myself to make the time to do it between my single-mommying (not a real word, I know), working fifty hours and packing to move, but I’ll get there. That’s a promise!

Thanks for stopping by!
