  • A bit of reflecting and such

    It has been awhile since I have done any kind of writing. Months since I have been to my own site here. Some things just get away from you and before you know it. So much time has gone by and you look back and think. What have I been doing all this time. Life happens. It gets in the way and just fills up the time so you barely have a moment for yourself. To sit back and just reflect on things. Or just enjoy a moments peace and quiet.

    Working part time does have its benefits, I admit .But it also has its downfalls as well. You have more time for yourself. But less money. Working part time is not really by choice. Its just what I can find that is a steady source of income. No matter how much or how little. While I am working on pursuing other things, such as my writing.  And though I have been in a bit of a writer's drought.  Its been building, and I know soon I will be filled with a source of inspiration that will send the thoughts flowing again. Its just a matter of time and being patient. As difficult as that can be. And trust me, it is hard.

    I have this terrible habit of multi - tasking. Which for most people can be a fairly easy thing to do. Especially when it comes to being a writer. I start one project, get stuck in a bit of  rut, and start something else to give my mind a break from the first one. Then when I eventually go back to it I am ready to pick up where I left off. Right now I am still in the process of working on the third poetry book. I was hoping to get finished by the end of September. That doesnt look like its going to happen. I am not going to stress out about it because I have no set time or anything to finish it. I just want to get it finished.  So my new goal will be to have it ready by the end of October. So that I can get busy on the Anthology to follow up on that. My first two books are selling better. Which I am grateful for, but it is a slow process. Now that I am with new self- publishing company. I have more control of my books and I definitely like that better. They are both found at http://www.lulu.com/fawnmccurdy for anyone that would happen to run across my blog and has an interest in dark poetry.

    Once my next two poetry books are finished. I plan on starting a childrens book that I would like to have finished in time for my nephew's next birthday in January.  That is something I start tinkering around with while I am working on the other two. Planning it out and such and see where it goes.

    Things in my personal life are slowly getting better. I'm learning to accept things for aht they are for myself and I know where I am going in life. No matter how long it takes for me to get there. I at least have direction.
