A quick note on my hiatus

9/11/2022

2 Comments

 
Before I finish my Villains blog series, I wanted to give a quick note on why I vanished for six months from my blog and social media. I had a family emergency in March that’s still ongoing, so it’s moved from a crisis to a situation. Then, I started a new job in May doing technical communication for a civil engineering firm. I’m still teaching college courses, but I’ve reduced my course load.

I’ve been working on a schedule where I can fit my writing because I’m working on the edits for the next book in my Jade and Antigone series. Unfortunately, that has left blogging and social media dead last on my priorities list. However, I realize I have a large audience, and hundreds of people visit my blog daily. So, I know this blog connects with people, helps writers, and is important too.

So, I haven’t abandoned ya’ll. I’m slowly coming out of the chaos that hit me this spring and forming a schedule that works for my many, many, many spinning plates. I’m a working mom with two jobs, an author and a blogger, and I have side projects, including adult literacy and running the Honor Society, where I teach. But, as a gift to myself, I have to dedicate some time to what I love best, writing stories.

On that note, I have some cool events this fall for those in New York

Flower City Comic Con 

Sept 24-25 at the Total Sports Experience

​First is the Flower City Comic Con, also known as F3C. This is the fourth year I’ve had a table at this event. They held it at this same location last year, and it was a blast, so I’m really looking forward to it.

This con was postponed last year due to COVID, so I’m excited to have a table for the first time this year.

Okay, folks, thanks for sticking with me, and hopefully, I’ll have the last blog in my Villains series up soon (it's on villains in sci-fi)!
