Life, writing

August Rising

You know… I started this year with the thought that I’d blog a lot more consistently than I did last year and after February, it’s almost like I forgot.

I mean, I didn’t but I might as well have, no?

In any case, we are past the halfway point of this year and to be honest, it’s been a better year than most even if it could be a lot better.

Life has been busy.

My mind has been occupied.

But I’m grateful that I can still wake up in the morning and at the very least, smile that my world is not falling apart.

THE CATCH UP

To start off with, “Beta: The Hierarchy, Book 2” is complete and currently being edited and reworked to fix some problems and add some dynamics I missed on my first write-through.

Like Book 1, this will be self published as well. I will be making a post about the ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) closer to when it’s ready for release.

I am hoping for end of September but I haven’t settled on a date yet. But it hopefully will be soon.

THE OTHER

The other book needs to be edited as well and prepped. It is my hope to publish that one through the traditional route but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous about it.

I was advised to just self publish whilst querying for a publisher and I might still do that but I feel like I want to test out the traditional route even if it’s just this once.

Hopefully, that will also end well.

THE LAST

For those of you who enjoy my occasional poetry, I’m sorry that I haven’t woven anything into the tapestry that is the poetry section of my website.

To be honest, I’ve had a lot of material to work with but the emotions have been too current(?) to digest into words and rhyme.

But seeing as I’m here, I plan to return back to it. I miss it and it did help to unburden myself from emotions that weren’t worth carrying anymore.

All in all, I’m back.

And I hope to stay for longer this time around.
