Unfortunately, there are many readers out there who seem to think that choosing & reading a book is the same as going into a restaurant & ordering a meal. If it's not exactly to their tastes, they'll leave hateful reviews rather than objective & constructive ones. 😩

Given book 2 has taken far longer than I intended due to severe AuDHD burnout, which subsequently caused CFS symptoms since the pandemic, I have been considering the possibility of splitting it into two volumes. It's over 220k words as is and it's still not finished. #authorlife #writerscommunity

This is what I imagine goes on. 🙃😅 I do so much research on obscure topics for my writing. #writers #writerlife #amwriting #writingcommunity

🎉Happy New Year!🎉

Here's to hoping I can FINALLY finish book two in the Scions of Balance series. Mental health has been debilitating for years (more so these last few), so it's taken a lot longer than I had intended. I never stopped pushing on with it though.

Well now, this looks familiar! 😅 As an author, it's strange to say that I can't make anything up; I have to figure it out... only I figure things out as thought I'm downloading random bits of info & trying to fit them like jigsaw puzzles pieces as they show up.

I've always known this and felt this way about all kinds of stories, whether it be in books, videogames, film/tv shows & anime. People typically just don't bother to look deeper than the entertainment value, which is a big part of the problem society/humanity has.
