Working on edits and being a mom

Hello all,

  I have been busy the past few weeks working on edits with my editor. I also have been busy with mom stuff During this pandemic . So I figured I would give you a glimpse of my life. 

  The past few weeks I took my daughter to do behind the wheel for driver’s education. Normally it would not stress me out but I was worried about the fact my daughter had to wear a mask with two other people in a car. But everything is fine she is fine. Then it’s was dentist and dr. Appointments. The dentist appointments were in person for both kids. My son’s dr. Appointment was over the phone but my daughter’s dr. appointment had to be in person Yesterday because she needed a couple vaccines. But her appointment got more complicated, do worry she is fine just has to have a few more things done. Since my son has graduated high school, it is just my daughter needing books. That’s something else I needed to do yesterday.

  With all my mom stuff to do I don’t get as much time as I want to work on edits. That’s okay, if my editor didn’t understand I have other responsibilities I would not be working with her. I enjoy being a mom and writer. It took me years to find a good balance between the two, but with the pandemic my stress level is super high. So I have had to find ways to release the stress so I am doing crafts I love. I am making time at night to craft so I am not a bundle of nerves all the time.

  I know not everyone cares about my life other than me being a writer. But I started this blog to show others there are ways to work full time, be a parent, and still be a writer. It just takes more organization and discipline to do it. I hope all my blogs have helped someone.

I need to get back to edits.
Happy reading 
Happy writing

April so far

      April so far is going well; I have been getting some writing done. I also have been trying to do more to promote my books. I have also done one event so far this month (April 13th), I have another one this coming weekend (April 21st). I sold seven books at this last event two sets of all three books that are currently out, and one of the first book (New Life By The Full Moon).      I have been working on book four of the Ann Smith series which I believe is the last book of the series. I have also been working on rewriting my vampire book Nirvash, a vampire's tale. along with that book I am writing a companion book about Lovebug, the vampire kitten's life.       I have been doing the normal promoting stuff, like scheduling posts on my social medias. I have also started a reading group but it's not going well so far. But I am hopeful it will get better. I am looking into getting some other kinds of swag to possible help get the ...

This month is hard.

    I am having a rough month, the only event I had this month was on the 3rd. it did not go as planned, it was a slow event. No one really showed up to it, I did sell 2 books that day. I have been trying to write more, but it isn't going as well as I would like but I am getting words on paper so to speak. I am also dealing with some health issues; I will be OK I just need to get through this.         But I am still moving forward with my writing, scheduling events I am taking part of and promoting my books, events. I know this is not the most thrilling information, but this is my life. I write this blog to let people who want to do anything creative as more than a hobby that sometime life can effect what you are doing more than you could ever think possible. But I do not give up on my dreams. life can be a pain some time, but it doesn't mean you stop. I will get back to writing happy reading happy writing

May

  So far May is going well, my first event this month was on the 4th, it went well I sold 11 books and got to talk to interesting people. my next event is on May18th, it is taking place in Maryville IL. I am doing this event for the first time; I am hoping it is a good event for me.     I have been working on redoing my vampire book which was pulled from print years ago the title is still Nirvash, A Vampire's Tale. I finished up doing the self-edit and adding some details all on paper. I need transcribe it to the document on my laptop. I am going to try and get it out by the end of the year so i can possibly get Lovebug's life story out the following year.   I don't have a whole lot more to say at this time. I hope you all have a great day happy reading  happy writing
