My Unexpected Six-Month Break

Hi there!

Thanks for coming back to the blog after my unexpected six-month break. It’s crazy to think it’s been that long since my last writing-related post!

So, you’re probably wondering what the hell happened. Especially after everything was going so well. A quick recap of what was going so great: I’d finished writing Running the Asset way ahead of schedule, racking up insane daily word counts, and then I decided to dive straight into the editing stage.

Yeah, you’ve probably guessed what happened. If you followed my daily updates, you could probably see it coming.

Me, nope… well… even if I did, I ignored it.

Snatching Silver Linings from the Snarling Jaws of Anger

I hate getting angry. Hate it. I despise how it makes me feel physically or how it twists an okay, or even a good, day into an utter crap-fest. So, it’ll come as no surprise that I try to avoid letting anger take hold.

But, when someone wastes my time, I find it hard to reign in my temper. In my latest Author Journal post, I mentioned that a time-waster cost me three days of my holiday on a project that wasn’t the emergency they’d professed it to be.

Plans Aren’t Set in Stone — But Goals Should Be

It’s Friday, and I’d usually be posting a “What I’m Reading” post, but I’m putting that on hold this week. I’m still reading the books from last week and didn’t want to post the same thing twice.

This post is inspired by not posting my Reading post. Before 2022 started, I made a commitment to myself that I’d post every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

That was my goal.
