I have always found that writing out my thoughts can be very calming. Once it is on paper, it is no longer replaying in my brain. I am free to think other thoughts, even ones of my own choosing. When you are a parent, everyone tells you how important self-care is and they tell you to find whatever makes you feel better – that you need time to recharge. Sleep, eating, reading, pampering, you name it, I have tried it.

I love writing poetry and just random ramblings. I love reading other people posts and comments. And I love talking to people.

The last part of this that I’ll get to, tonight: it takes time to read. That is time during which, I could be doing other things. If a person is a visual artist, they’re involved in seeing, all the time. If they’re a musician, they’re playing music and listening to music, all the time. If they’re a writer, apparently they’re reading and writing, all the time.

There will always be things to be done. There will always be the litany of chores—the hall needs a vacuum, washing to be hung, and the kitchen floor is sticky with who knows what. In half an hour I will start the endless round of dinner, feeding, dishes… but for right now, I write. This is my gift to myself, to my inner writer, to the child writer I once was, to recovery.

Authors need to be able to focus on writing and improving their writing. Both prior any start to the publishing process and during it. They should be getting detailed, good quality feedback at all stages, but it really doesn’t seem like these things are happening. Books should go through multiple rounds of edits with different editors, and non-marketing staff shouldn’t be expected to take on the marketing. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like any of this is going to happen anytime soon, and it makes me wonder exactly how much longer readers will put up with such poor quality before losing interest completely.

Another goal that I set is to be more laid back and more genuine in my posts – because this blog is still so new, I feel like I’ve been a bit stilted and have been holding back. It’s difficult because I only get little spurts of writing time with two babies running around, so I just try to get the basics out and then hit PUBLISH. My thought is that now that I’m working only part-time, there will be more time to put into this!

My daughter is only two months old, and she is a charmer. She takes up a lot of my time, but I shouldn’t blame her for my laziness. I haven’t updated this blog in a long time, mostly because I was at a loss as to what to write about

with more time in my life I’m hoping to spend more time with my blog and writing in general. When I first started my blog, I found kindred spirits out there in the blogosphere, made new friends and I’ve even met some of them. What fun! With winter coming on (winter of 20-21 as I write this), along with a raging pandemic, I hope to be more active again and I hope you’ll come along.

I don’t know how to start, and I don’t know what topic to use for the book, or even in what style to write the book (well, books, really). And I realize that needn’t matter. I’m still not writing a book, though. Let alone books.

When I was in elementary school, I wanted to be an author. When I realized how many words you have to write to fill an entire book, I decided I couldn’t. For years, there was a little voice in the back of my mind, urging me toward writing. But the voice that told me I wasn’t good enough, that I would never get anywhere, that it was a waste of time … that voice was louder.
