Updates From My Writing Desk: In Which I Emerge, Blinking, Into the Sunlight

Hello again, dear Reader! I’m back from my hiatus…

Which totally did not end up being a whole month longer than I planned for it to be…. eheheh.

Whoops.

blinks at the calendar in disbelief… it’s JUNE? Already?

But I promise, even though I’ve been fairly quiet here on the blog and over on social media for the past two months, it’s been a very productive kind of silence. So much is happening behind the scenes, and today, you get to hear about some of it! I feel like I’m finally making up for my lack of productivity back in 2020. And it feels good.

Two For the Price of One

Today, I have TWO exciting books to share with you, dear Reader!

No, not anything I’ve written… I’m working hard on my projects and hoping to have some fun posts about my own stories coming soon with all sorts of behind-the-page tidbits. But I’m afraid we’ll both have to wait a bit longer for that.

But today I am thrilled to be helping out not one, but TWO of my fellow Realmie Authors with a book release and a cover reveal!

Waiting is Not Easy
Waiting is Not Easy

That’s the title of my son’s favorite book

And it’s true. Waiting is not easy. Not even a little bit. Not even at all.

Have patience, have patience, don’t be in such a hurry…

That’s a song my mom used to sing to my siblings and me whenever we were tired of waiting for something. Or whenever we wanted something to move faster than it currently was.

I’ve got that song stuck in my head right now.

It just feels like I can never do anything fast enough.
