Feeling discouraged but determined

  I am not sure how many of you are aspiring writers or artist, and I'm not sure  how many that are in the situation I am in. You see I am a stay at home mom, and any money that hubby brings in from him working goes to the bills, food and things our kids need. There are time we have a little money that we can splurge a little. But it's not enough for getting my manuscripts professionally edited. I did find an editor I would like to have edit my work but I don't have enough. I am also still looking for an agent but not much luck.

I also try to be upbeat and encouraging of other writers and artists. But on days like this where I am feeling discouraged and down I find it hard to be upbeat. I know there are hundreds of writers and artists that feel like this so I know I am not alone in how I feel. I do plan on continuing to write, trying to get an agent, and saving up for an editor to edit my work.

I'm sorry this blog post is not my more encouraging posts but I feel that you all need to hear about how I am a real person and I get down and discouraged like everyone else. Well I better get back to my writing

Happy reading
Happy writing

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

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 word out about my books. Oh, I almost forg
