Remember how I quit my job and last Friday was my last day? While this past week has been very full and fulfilling and I've been able to make so much progress on my novel and in business in general... I actually almost forgot that today is Saturday and that I needed to do a blog post!

I'm actually really proud of myself right now. So now that things are more free and flexible, I might be posting more often. 

Maybe not, we will have to see.

I will for sure continue to post every week, but it may not be strictly on Saturday anymore since I obviously can't remember what day of the week it is anymore. 

But this week has been very special in a lot of ways and very hard in others. 

I've loved having a full week with no job to attend to, how much progress I've been able to make on Madamn, being able to relax and spend time with my family. The hard part is that my family has been in a bit of emotional turmoil.

It's been so good to be here for the support and to support my family as well, since this would be happening regardless of where I am, but it's still never easy to watch people you are close to struggle and suffer. 

But I have still managed to write a few new scenes and been able to do a few edits, as well as other important aspects of running a book business, while being here to support my family.

Honestly, that is my favorite part about being a writer. Knowing that I have the flexibility and freedom of time to do what is needed to support those I love and be active in the community.

I Survived!

Whew! What a week. To have a full moon in a customer-facing job and your last day be on Friday the 13th was a bit of a challenge! But I finally made it and am free to schedule my days much more freely.

Working full time this close to a book launch has been a challenge, but I'm excited to see how things are finally able to progress.

Because I'll be honest, there hasn't been much of that lately.

At least not near the level I need it to be. I'm so excited to know that it's going to get so much better. This weekend is going to be spent in recovery, which does actually include cleaning my house. It's hard to relax when I have dishes in the sink that need to be washed and laundry that needs folding.

But then the real work begins and hopefully you will be seeing a lot more of me online so that I can finish this novel and really get the word out for the launch in August.

With all of that said, this is going to be a short post so I can get to it!

Have a great week! I know I will!!!!

What A Week!

I don't know if your week was as crazy as mine, but I may have done something fairly drastic, but oh so good.

I quit my job. 

I'll be working part time for a local company, which means I might actually finish this novel on time. 

This week will be my last week at the bank, I'll take a few weeks off to visit family and start when I get back. Which I am incredibly excited for. I miss my family and this trip will be so good for my soul. As will this new job. 

This post is a bit late today because I spent most of the day doing work for the Bookmarked Literary Festival. Remember how I joined that board a couple of months ago? I spent today at a local festival's booth promoting it and connecting with local authors. 

The event is happening October 11-12 in Lander, WY and I'm so excited for it. I always meet some wonderful people and have a chance to sell a few great books. 

It's already late in the day and my husband and I have errands we need to run still, but things are certainly picking up speed and I can't wait to see where things land!
