2023
Tis the season for reminiscing.
In some ways this year was easier than 2022. No close family members passed away and I didn’t have major back surgery. I’m extremely grateful for both of those things!
At the beginning of 2023 I put myself on a strict schedule for writing and publishing, just to see if I could do it.
I stuck to it until this fall, when things went off the rails and I still haven’t been able to get myself fully back on the train. Or the wagon. Whichever. Both?
What happened?
I’m not sure. Maybe burnout. Between Nov 2022 and Sept 2023 I wrote four novels and four novellas. I thought I could keep that pace going, but the book I published in October gave me some serious issues, and I can’t seem to get my writing brain back in a good place.
I’m trying to remind myself to look on the bright side, so for a minute I’ll focus on what I published this year!
This is honestly a lot of words and a lot of products!
I’ve had a great time writing the Curvy Girl Crew series and I’m hoping to have the last book out the first half of 2024.
The fifth Hunger book is halfway finished, and I may put it and the last one out at the same time. I’m not sure yet.
I’m grateful for my readers and the people in my life that encourage me when I’m ready to throw in the towel.
Also, the hubby who provides caffeinated beverages and chocolate when he knows I’m struggling.
Things I’m looking forward to this year:
A cruise with my family
A trip to Alaska to see the Northern Lights (fingers crossed that they will show up the few days we’re there)
A trip to see the total solar eclipse in April (fingers crossed for no clouds)
Being able to exercise again
Finding a hobby to distract myself from writing woes
More writing 🙂
What are you looking forward to this year?
