Whoopsie…I Forgot the Main Thing

Unfortunately, as much as this pains me to say, I haven’t worked on my novel for almost a month now. And no, I can’t blame writers block either. My creativity has been alive and kicking quite well. Producing short stories and blog posts. Not to mention, I’ve had numerous ideas on finishing the novella ‘The Monster You Meet’ and editing the novel ‘The Monster You Wake’.

I guess what I’m trying to say is - I forgot what the main thing was. And the main thing is not this website.

Fortnightly stories, weekly blogs, and a fortnightly newsletter (Phew… I’m just tired from saying that) was a lot to put on myself. And it’s taken me a month to realise it.

I suppose the good thing I’ve learnt from the last month is I sure as heck didn’t run out of creative steam. And thinking upon so many stories and characters, boy did I have some really weird dreams…

It was time though. I ran out of time. And that main thing I am working towards - becoming a published author -got put on the back burner. Which, when I reflect upon July, doesn’t really fill me with a sense of wellbeing; a sense that I am living my purpose.

So, and here’s where I’ll need your support, the newsletter will be monthly, blog posts weekly-ish, and short stories… likely every three-four weeks. The best thing you can do, is to subscribe to my newsletter in order to keep up with what’s been happening as I plan to be less active on social media than I have been.

Once I’ve finished off ‘The Monster You Meet’ and ‘The Monster You Wake’ I’ll be back in action, all over social media, sprouting the good words I’ve managed to wrangle and conjure.

But seriously… make me feel better? I can’t be the only one that’s done this. Let me know in the comments if you’ve forgotten your main thing a time, or two.
