1/9/23 --- How do you leave things behind...

 Do you ever find yourself having one of those days where your brain is just constantly dredging up old memories that you don't want to think about? Lately, I've been dreaming about my dead mother quite a bit. I'm sure it's because of the holidays and celebrating them in such a vastly different way now that she's gone, but remembering her also brings in a lot of bad stuff that I don't really want to remember. It's hard to feel good about what I have now when the past is constantly haunting me.  I'm not going into details because I think trauma dumping is toxic as shit, but I just don't want to think about that stuff. 

I did manage to get a bit of editing done and I'm on the final chapter of Alpha's Rejection now. I had to add in one last sex scene/happily ever after chapter and then the book will be complete. I'm hoping to have it finished today so I can start sending out a couple of ARC copies. I don't really have an ARC team at this point and honestly, I always get a lot of people looking for free books, but then they never give me their honest reviews. It can be a little disheartening, but I'll keep looking for people to join my ARC team. Eventually I'll get a few I can trust!

Also, wanted to thank everyone who's joining my newsletter! I hope you're enjoying your copy of The Crystal Eye! It feels amazing to see those numbers ticking up on the newsletter, especially since it's been stagnant for so long. I'll need a solid foundation of readers if I'm going to make this full-time author thing a reality and we're getting closer and closer with each passing day :)

Until tomorrow!

3/6/23 --- Back from Vacation

 Hello all, Typing this from my phone today because the internet is out for some reason. But just wanted to say that I'm officially back from vacation. We went down to Florida for a week and stayed at a Disney resort, which was pretty cool. It was really neat to see all the things at the parks that I've grown up watching. We even went to Universal Studios, but that was pretty boring compared to disney honestly. I think I'd like to go back down there again someday, but man do I hate planes. Ugh. I'll just drive next time or something and stay for like a month, get a short term rental or whatever.  But we made it back and I've been spending the past week writing my butt off. During vacation, I was able to finish not one, but TWO books. The Quest for Cowmelot was finished and released on 2/27 while Beta's Bliss was finished in the past couple of days and it's set to release on 3/8. I'm really excited to see how both of them do, although it looks like Cowmel...
