At first I wasn’t sure what I was going to write on here today. It’s been so long since I’ve talked to anyone about my writing. But I need to start working on what I am going to be blogging.
I have decided that I am going to be doing major edits on Galaxing Around. After rereading it I realized I wasn’t happy with the ending. I might even completely rewrite it. I will be doing the same massive edits to the Millersburg Shifters series as well. I will begin working on Galaxing Around 2 as soon as I am done with the revisions for Galaxing Around. Sadly, I will be having to find a new cover artist. The young lady I used has since stopped working on book covers in the time I was ill.
As for what I am currently working on, I have started free writing a story I have titled The Eldritch. This isn’t like my other works. This is dark. Horrific. It’s released a side of myself that I didn’t realize I had locked away so tightly. It’s one of three different stories that I have begun working on. Each one steps into the world of cryptids. It has given me a better view point for the monsters in my other works.
My home life has changed a lot. As I stated in my last post I quit my job and my stress levels have decreased dramatically. I have also added two new members to my life, three if you count my boyfriend. I adopted two beautiful kittys. My old lady is named Pepper. She is just a couple months older than my 9yr old son. She’s gentle and loving. She loves getting attention and eating. She is my treasure. And then there is Smidge.
I got Smidge at 6 weeks old. She was so frail and tiny I didn’t think she would survive. But after two flea baths and multiple feedings, she got stronger and healthier. She has grown into a feisty little girl who will vocally tell you she doesn’t like something. She doesn’t like kisses, being held, or picked up. She still gets picked up and kissed though. She loves being petted, on her terms. She is just a giant ball of energy that makes me laugh as she literally tries to climb the walls. She has a passion for getting into trouble and getting into my yarn.
I love both my cats very much and they have helped me while I have struggled through the changes in my life. They know when I am in a depressive slump and come lay on me, letting me know that they are there and that they love me. Smidge doesn’t like letting me go to the bathroom alone since my last episode of sickness. Sadly she has been banned from the bathroom after knocking all my plants down. But she will sit at the door and cry until you let her in. She started doing this with my boyfriend recently as well.
The boyfriend. Someone I never thought I would meet. I might write about love but I never thought I would ever get my happily ever after. I found it with him. Happily ever after isn’t all roses and kisses. It’s hard work, communication, laughing, cuddles, and kisses. He’s someone that I can’t imagine my life without and honestly, if I lost him I don’t think I would ever be able to love anyone else. He’s not perfect. He has his imperfections. But. He is perfect for me. He loves my son like his own. He is everything I didn’t know I needed.
