It’s been a hot minute since I’ve written about my books, and I realized that next week is the FOUR year anniversary of Sink or Swim’s publication. I can’t believe it’s been that long! I might have to sit down and read it again and go down memory lane.
Being an author is something I’ve always wanted to do. And having written and published two books is something I’ll always be proud of. I look back at all the work that went into both books, and at times it was hard and could be frustrating, but it was a lot of fun too.
Thinking about Sink or Swim’s anniversary brings a smile to my face, but in a way it also makes me feel a little guilty. I wish I could say I’m still writing all the time, but I’m definitely not writing as much as I’d like to. There are days and weeks and months where I truly don’t have time. But then there are weekends like last weekend, where I did have time and I kept telling myself that I should sit down and do some writing. However, I kept looking for anything else to do instead. My house got very clean last weekend lol. For whatever reason, I could not get myself to sit down and write.
I’ve said in a few other blog posts that I’m not writing anymore because it’s not as much of a priority as it once was. I accomplished what I had set out to do, and I should be happy about that. But I’m not! There’s still so much I want to write about and I wish I had all the time in the world to do so. It can be hard to only have a short window here and there to write and I wonder if that’s why I had such a hard time getting myself to sit down and do the work last weekend. By the time I get into a groove, I have to do something else or be somewhere else.
I need to get out of that mentality though. A short window here and there is better than never writing at all. And until Dan agrees to be my sugar daddy and I don’t have to work anymore, short windows are all I’m going to get for the time being. So I need to embrace it and get to work. I’m feeling fired up and ready to go, so here’s to hoping I can continue to chip away at book #3!
Also, I still have plenty of copies of Sink or Swim if anyone is looking for one. I might even give you a heck of an anniversary deal. 😉
Until next time! 🙂
