I’m so ashamed at how little I post on this thing. I really need to figure out a way to get better at scheduling posts.
Well, lets see, what has been happening here lately…. It’s 2015! Can you believe it? I can’t. I feel like we just started 2014, and now here we are. A whole new year. We had a wonderful Christmas here, but January has hit us hard. I don’t think there’s been a single week in January that one or all of us haven’t been sick.
It’s hit Nicholas the hardest it seems. I’m so ready for it to just GO AWAY.
Blah. So ready for us all to be healthy again.
Oh! Maddie did a boosterthon at school, it was to raise money for a new reader board – anyway, they were taking pledges to see how many laps they could walk/run. Maddie walked/ran 35 laps!! That’s two miles! And she did it in about 35 minutes! I’m so stinking proud of my kiddo. She was amazing. She met her goal, and I couldn’t have been more proud of her if I had exploded and shot confetti everywhere.
So, let’s see. What else is new. Well, I’m not sure I shared here, but I completed my second novel. Secrets is a urban fantasy novel, roughly 87K, though I haven’t gone through and edited it yet. It’s pretty exciting. It’s like, once I actually finished one, it broke the hold that I had, and finishing them seems to be a lot easier now. Though it wasn’t planned, Secrets will be a trilogy, and I plan to start working on its sequel soon. Currently I’m working on a fantasy series. I’m really excited about this story, and it’s been fairly easy to write. I’ve only been working on it for a few months now and I’m already almost at twenty thousand words! That’s pretty quick for me, seeing as how it took me almost a year exactly to write Secrets.
I love so much that my writing bug has come back. It really does help keep me sane. Being able to get the words out of my head, to create something from nothing…It’s a beautiful thing. I’ve kind of taken a step back from photography lately. Winter pretty much killed any chances of getting any work, and things were so slow before that, that I just didn’t really push it much. I’m not as sad as I thought I might be. I still love photography, and plan to continue with it for my family and my friends, and clients as well, however, I don’t know that I’ll be pursuing it as hard as I was. I’m still deciding.
I have an author website now. I have a blog over there that I’m going to try really hard to keep updated and sharing my accomplishments and other little things that have to do with my writing. I would love for you to check it out and leave me some love over there!

Well, that’s all that’s going on here in a nutshell. I wish I had more to report, but aside from us all being sick, there’s really not much happening.
I’ll try to make another post this month, but we all know how that will probably end up.. 😉
Stay healthy!
