What day is it again?

I’m not sure about you all, but there have been days when I have to ask people, or look on my phone, to see what bloody day it is.

This is nuts.  I understand and agree with everything that has had to have happened to keep the virus numbers down, but I miss going to work.  I miss going in and chatting, watching their favorite tv shows they’ve recorded.  I miss coloring, or even playing guitar with her.

But she’s classified as high risk, and so it’s safer for her, for me to stay home.  Mind you, I have popped by a couple of times.  But staying outside, and keeping my distance.  If anything, I miss her hugs.

What I find funny though, is that I’ve been a stay at home mom for 20 years when I decided to look for work.  Mainly because my son (now 22) is autistic, so staying at home was because I had to make sure I was available for him.  Since he’s been finished high school, I’ve been able to have a worker for him (who’s also laid of right now because of COVID) and she’s anxious about returning as well.

Going to work for almost 2 years, really gave me a place to go instead of staring at the same 4 walls day in and day out.  Now, since the beginning of April, I had to go back to it again.

So here we are.  I’m not sure when I started losing days.  Or thinking it’s the next.

But I’d like to hear how you all have been coping.  Going on adventures?  New hobbies??  Feel free to comment, I’d love to know how you are all doing with all this.

Thank you for popping by.

Until next time.

More writing, Less procrastinating

You know when you’ve been submerged into the world of the Wi-Fi when you have nothing accomplished with what books you have started and are just left there in limbo, waiting for you to get off you’re arse (or in this case to sit on it) and start writing to get your projects finished to be published.

And I’m bad at procrastinating. Especially when I’m so bored that I know what I should be doing, but end up either sitting in front of the TV watching something on NetFlix, or I’m just surfing around the internet wasting time.

In the end, nothing really gets accomplished, and you’re beating yourself up for not doing what you’ve been telling yourself what you need to do.

So why do I do it to myself?  Sucker for punishment I guess is the first thought that comes to mind.  The other is that I feel I’m not that successful as a writer.

Yes, I’ve had friends buy my book.  And yes they have given me good reviews on it, and for that I’m deeply grateful.  But they say that it’s that one bad review will hit you the most.  Even though I’ve had friends tell me that you’re gonna get that one person who’s going to be an a$$hole.  That I need to look past that one hater and see it as what you have succeeded at.

To write and tell a story as only I could tell it.

In the end, it’s me putting myself out there.  Something I’m not used to doing. Bringing attention to myself when I’m used to making people focus on real talented people.  I don’t think I’m there yet.

For one, I really suck at promoting myself. LOL!!  I was never the type of person to make people notice me.  I’m usually the one who would sit in the corner and be silent.

But if I’m to make it in this hard crazy world of being an author, I need to get my tooch in gear and seek out a publishing company and/or agent who would be willing to take a chance on me.  I have so many ideas, but it’s to stay focused and on course that I find lacking.

I have to give thanks to my family though.  They put up with my constant “one more minute” when writing my first book.  Now I will have to do it again to finish off the 2 books I have started already.  And I do need to get them done before I start any others.

I think what I might start doing is to write daily in here.  Just to keep me on track with my writing (and to keep me focused), because we all know by now how easily distracted I am. LOL!!

Anyway, in closing (which I surprise myself that I had this much to say in one sitting, lol), I want to say thank you to anyone who’s still following this blog.  When I haven’t made a post in a while, I forget how to get back on here. 😀

I think I fixed that problem.  For now.

Anyway,, until next time.

Much love

K ❤
