I’m already going back to old habits. My plan was to have a few posts on the blog so far and instead, I’ve been slow on that. I could blame things, but in truth, I just haven’t had the energy to sit at my desk to type everything that needs to be typed. I’ve been putting the other things ahead of this. For that, I’m sorry.
That isn’t to say I haven’t been productive in some way. I have been. The first chapter of my full-length horror book is almost done. I’ve decided to take my time writing it, just a little bit at a time. I’m also working on the mermaid novella for Songs of the Deep vol. 2 (out for pre-order now!).
The novella was kicking my ass, to be honest. I wasn’t sure how I would start it and how long between that and the first story had transpired. If you read the first story, Song of Storms, you would know my main character, Sophronia, was returning to her island home due to a death in the family. Her father.
Sadly, I was writing the bulk of that story a year ago today. And during that time, my dad was in the hospital. He died last year in February. So, my character’s father died at the same time as Daddy, and that was hard to go through. Now I’m working through the emotions of the one-year mark, and so is she.
This sequel is her going through those emotions and getting back the woman she loves. But in the process, she finds a darker family secret and has to make a choice.
It’s going slow writing it, but it will be in the collection, and I’m excited to hear people’s thoughts on it.
I have been reading and am done with five books so far. Just need to write their reviews. So, yeah. I’m doing things. I’m just not good at sharing what I’m doing so far. Maybe I’ll do the update thing once or twice a month just to show that I’m still alive. We’ll see.
There will be a review on Wednesday and another on Friday this week. I hope everyone is having a good January and isn’t beating themselves up for not meeting certain things in their lives that they want to. It’s not worth it; you just hurt yourself in the end.
