Getting a bit stir crazy

 I know I’m not the only one I was going to little stir crazy here. Being pretty much locked up in a house. The upside is in my situation my daughter is now in hybrid learning, so Tuesdays and Thursdays she gets to go to in person learning I get to pick her up after school I take her to school to. But I get to pick her up after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays and then I get to pick up my son who also works Tuesdays and Thursdays. So writing has been kind of sparse, I don’t stay up as late as I used to because I have to be up early To ensure my daughter gets off the school since I’m taking her. I have to make sure I have everything done in the house before I go pick her up. Because her days are shortened instead of getting off about 3 o’clock they get off about 12:55 Pm and my son gets off work at 1:00 Pm. So that’s fun, I’m trying to get as much writing done as physically possible in the short amount of time I’m alone and when the house is quiet. 


   I know this is hard for all moms, dad, guardians, working parents along with all that and writers and creatives that have kids. It’s  hard and I’m starting to go a little nuts here I know I’m not the only one in the situation and I am hoping you all don’t feel like you’re the only one in the situation. I am putting this out there to let you know that you are not alone in this situation, everybody’s going a little nuts. Everyone is  feeling kind of cooped up, best thing I can tell you do is go for a drive, go for a walk something where you’re not having to wear a mask. Someplace  where you’re not around other people. Just  be alone in nature outside the house. Even if you just go out into your front yard or backyard, whatever and do yard work, plant flowers, or just sit in the sun and read a book no one can stop you from sitting outside your house and reading a book. Enjoy outside while it’s nice before it starts getting too cold and then places where it’s already cold I am so sorry go for a walk or drive. I don’t know if you want to sit outside in your big old parka and your boots and go outside. But get out, you have to be outside the house for a little while even introverts need to see this sun. I’m not going to make this a super long one I just want to get on here and say that you’re not alone. I know how you feel just try your best to get outside the house for even a little while and that will definitely help your creative juices start flowing again it will help you feel better. 

I hope you are having a wonderful day 

happy reading

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
