Hello! So, I haven't been here in forever - and... well, I don't imagine there is anyone left still following me since my average post has been once a year over the last few years! However, I have been somewhat drifting lately in regards to writing. I have released a LOT of books since I was a regular blogger, but things have slowed down hugely. There are a few reasons for this - the biggest being that I had to work harder to earn enough money to live on - a problem most of us face - and it left me with less time to write. I also cannot discount the fact that I am the queen of procrastination. It's certainly played a part lol.
So, I recently spent some time thinking about what's different in my life now. What got in the way of my focus. The biggest thing I used to do regularly was blog. And the reason that was so helpful to me was because of YOU - if there are any of you left and still reading this lol. The community and regularly updating what I'd been doing kept me focused. Kept me on track. And I really need that in my life right now. I need to reconnect with doing things that are for ME, and blogging and writing very much fall into that category.
I guess this is just a quick hello post, in the hopes that I can find my way back to where I want to be. And I will do my best to reconnect with as many of you as possible. It's about time!

I'm here. Always! Have you decorated? This place looks good :-)
ReplyDeleteYAY! I'm so happy you're here!
DeleteYeah, I decided to freshen up a little - I'm not sure I'm totally crazy about it yet but I needed something different to look at! :D
I'm here, too! Probably because I also procrastinate and so I hardly ever unfollow blogs. Glad you're back!
ReplyDeleteYay for a fellow procrastinator! Thanks, Sarah! <3
DeleteI found the 8 minute Writing Habit really useful for establishing new habits. I had to go back to work full time over a year ago, and it really helped me create a new schedule for writing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary! I definitely need something like that!
