A LONG TIME WITHOUT WRITING


It's been a long time since I've picked up my pencil to write anything. I've been at home for the last couple of days (years if you look at it from a different perspective) thinking about the last piece of work I wrote and actually published. Well, it's been years.


I've been doing a lot of thinking and soul searching and a lot of things came to mind as to why I had stopped writing after releasing Altered Genesis and Practically Fiction. The first thing was the fact that none of my books were selling. Just to be clear I didn't initially write them to sell them, but to get my work out there and for me to stay you know what I wanted to write stories and share them with people and you know what I did that. But I came to the realization that if people weren't buying my books how am I sharing it with anyone. Yes, I know that getting the work done and actually creating all those stories was an achievement in itself, but I wanted people to read what I wrote and to like it. So I didn't feel great after not seeing any sales on Smashword or even on Amazon. So after no writing for a while and working at a job that was stressing me out, my creativity kind of turned off.

I've often found myself wanting to get back into writing but felt like the magic and the imagination wasn't there anymore and after looking at a couple of my books that I published I found mistakes which kind of sunk me. But like I said I wanted to get my work out there typos be damned. But happily, my work is still out there and I am slowly but surely finding my way back towards the computer to express myself. I haven't found anything that has inspired me to write a new story yet, but I am hoping that when I do, that like all my other stories it is one that comes from my heart and that it is something that I can't wait for people to read.

BOOKS AND WEBSITES NEW MOTHERS SHOULD CHECKOUT

  Being a new mother I can say is one of the scariest things in the world. You are now in charge of a new life. You are charged with the responsibility of making sure he/she is feed, cleaned, entertained and every need taken care of. Mind you because of the demands being placed on you by your new little bundle of joy you might feel that you have no time for yourself, and I would say that your right! For the first few months of your baby's life, your life is no longer your own. You sleep when he/she sleeps, you eat when you have time to sneak it in, and you finally take a shower when he/she takes a long nap. But it gets better and its well worth it. Eventually your little bundle starts sleeping thought   All of those demands and sleepless nights were something you thought you were prepared for, but when it finally came down to it you were totally wrong. Gone are helpful nurse's that would take your little one to the nursery when you wanted to take a nap. Gone are the extra...
