I hadn't realized how long it's been since I blogged. December? Really?
2017 has been...interesting.
So far this year I've sold a couple of short stories, done a little publishing, written a little (not enough).
But in May of this year I hit a wall.
A little bit of explanation. I am primary caregiver for my mother-in-law. A family member is going through some serious issues. Another one hasn't spoken to me in over a year (long story).
At some point in May this all ganged up on me and I found myself physically, mentally, and emotionally worn out.
I am fortunate in that I DO have a support system. My husband believes in me and my writing, sometimes more than I do and is working with me to find solutions to my stress. I have brothers and sisters in Christ willing to lend a helping hand or pray for me. A best friend who listens when I have to vent to SOMEONE.
But I am looking around now as June closes and wondering if things will improve. I pray that they will, and that I'm through with walls for the year.
And that my NEXT blog post is sooner than 6 months from now.
