I hardly blog at all anymore. I don’t hit many forums, I
have almost zero online presence other than some shares on facebook because I
finally got a camera phone that will connect. I’m still active in real life,
just not online at all.
Why?
Well, I have a JAY OH BEE, for one, that has me caught in a
crazy, unpredictable schedule. I no longer freelance regularly, and make no
money online, so I’m a cash cow at this point. It’s neither here nor there, but
it’s a different lifestyle than I’ve lived for the past five years, I can tell
you that.
I’m still writing. I write a lot. Hell, probably more than I
did when I had all day every day to write, and that’s the way it goes,
sometimes. We all cry that we don’t have opportunities for this or for that but
then we don’t do anything with them when they arrive. Welcome to human nature.
I actually scored a day off here and got to sleep in and
even snuck in some extra coffee, so I’ve the energy/time to share a quickie
with y'all, just letting everyone know I’m alive and okay. This entry is thanks
to a blog post challenge type thing Michelle Devon made up. Thanks for
that!
With extremely limited time, my priorities shifted in a
hurry. Now, my main concerns in life are work, my Ramcharger, my writing craft,
reading stories, and getting as much ME time in as I possibly can. I just
realized I sound like a single mother. Good grief.
It’s not that I don’t care or that I’ve disappeared, but I
just simply can’t be the person I used to be at this time in life. I even let
my author site lapse, mostly because I have no Paypal cash but also because I
just don’t have the time to do anything with it these days.
I wish I could tell you that all my efforts were getting me
rich, but truth is I’m making crap pay in an entry level position I just happen
to enjoy and be good at. I’ll never
give up on my writing dream and I’ll never stop writing. And I’ve said this a
thousand times, but I’ll say it once more: YES, I write because I love it and
enjoy escaping into my own head, but I’d also like to make a little jingle
selling stories. Any author who says they don’t is probably lying or a little
crazy. :P
Peace out for now. I
hope this all pays off somewhere down the line.

You better not give up on the writing! I understand having a life and being busy and needing to pay the bills, but the writing is important! Don't give it up! You're good!

You know I never will. It's as much a part of me as my hands. :)
