This week I have been battling a head cold. I love the fall
in New England, but getting a head cold is just plain miserable. However as I have rested on the couch, I have
spent time reevaluating where my writing is going and where I want it to go.
As I wrote last week, I have started on this new journey of
self-discovery. I have found that I have missed me, missed having the
confidence that I used to have and the insane ability to think I could do
anything I wanted. Well, maybe not anything….but my life goal now is to be a
full time writer.
I have three books out now. As I finished my fourth book in
June and am about a third away through my fifth, I have come to realize that my
writing has changed as I weave myself on this journey of self discovery. My writing
has become strong, much like myself. I find my female characters becoming
stronger women, and although they want love and romance, they are independent
and strong. They have a quiet inner strength that only comes from learning in
life. Please feel free to check out my books here.
My writing goals have expanded into having projects planned
for well into next year. There will be new releases coming from me regularly,
whether I continue to indie publish or continue on a path of hybrid where I
will continue to work with traditional publishers as well as indie publish.
So where does this new journey take me in my personal life?
Well, I continue to look for a day job that will supplement paying the bills as
I am once again out of work for the third time in two years. With businesses
closing, my employment has been a challenge with my last two jobs ending due to
a business closing and one selling. Although I am in need of a job, my heart
longs to just write full time and fill my day with filling pages with my
stories that spin around in my mind.
So with another job interview tomorrow and then a road trip
for some book research this weekend, I am taking notes furiously for the next
few books, one of which I am dying to get started on. As soon as I finish the
current one, the next one will start flowing which already I know will be a
story that will be near and dear to my heart. Stay tune for more updates on the
journey of my life and finding myself.
