Ramblings

Well, I've been busy and distracted lately and forgot to write a blog post earlier. *hides*

But - here I am now!

Mind if I ramble for a bit? Thanks.

Let me warn you - this post may seem . . . different. And I have a reason for that. See, I know I haven't been very . . . honest with y'all. I tried to make my blogging style what was expected and normal.

But I'm not expected or normal.

And so I'm going to try to be more honest. Maybe that means stating things bluntly. Maybe that means not getting excited like I "should." Maybe that means being sporadic or over-organized.

But I'm trying to be me, not who I thought I should be.

(And, heads up, that means I probably won't be using exclamation marks or emojis like I used to . . . I can explain that later. But call it an INTJ thing.)

As several of you probably know, the email delivery service on Blogger will be discontinuing - I haven't looked into it yet and don't know how big of a deal it is. But - it was the push I needed to get serious about some big-scale blog changes I've been planning to make. So stay tuned for that.

I love Instagram. Majorly. So, yes, I'm a lot more active on there than I am on blogging. I'm trying to make sure I don't spend toooo much time there, though.

Progress for Like a Warrior is going well! I'm diving into my big-scale edits after I publish this post.

I've also been trying to make more time for reading lately - which is awesome, considering that I'm enjoying a really, really good book (Raptor 6 by Ronie Kendig).

I've been brainstorming the books that come after Like a Warrior - and I'm really excited for them! My characters make me so happy. I love 'em. I've been working on a Pinterest board for a certain fellow lately . . . and he's gonna be a fun character, I already know. I'm excited, because, in the next two stories (at least), I have two POVs.

The King's Daughters' Writing Camp is in full-swing now, and it's awesome, as usual! I haven't been as active this time as I have before - but that's okay. When I do get on, I'm motivated by the amazing people there.

I've also started a newer, more concise style for Goodreads book reviews. It keeps things simpler for me, and the bullet point lists and strict organization make my heart happy (INTJ thing).

Well, that's it for now! Very rambley, I know. But it's late (for me) and I still have lots of editing to do. And chocolate to eat.

Love,
