Nervous as Hell, But I'm Doing it Anyway!

What am I Doing, You Ask? 




Well, I'm going to do an Author Takeover spot on Book Carousel, a Facebook group by Extasy Books. Whew! Those things make me

NERVOUS!

Why? I guess because, like most writers, I'm introverted. It doesn't stop me from talking to others, hanging out with friends, but I need to do those things in my own time.

So, there are times I find myself in the dark.


But that's okay because that's where good things occur. That's where you get those ideas after you've crawled under warm covers to sleep, then...

BOOM


Ideas happen.

Well, your readers want to know what those ideas are, the driving force that leads to writing stories where you write for hours and hours to gift them with a world from your mind.

The reader wants to know how your brain works. 

Why not tell them? Why not answer a few questions? Why not step into the light? 


Well, that's the plan. 

Next week, I'm doing Meet the Author Monday, April 29th in the Book Carousel Facebook Group from 8-9. Every now and then I get questions in my messenger wanting to know how, when, and where. That would be an awesome time to hit me with what you want to know, what you're interested in me writing more of, and for us to chat. 

Link for the group? 

I'm doing a little research on how to make it fun and interesting. 

Here are two links I found!







A Guide to Facebook Author Takeovers


Stephanie Ayers has great ideas worth checking out. I plan on following her word for word. 






And this other thingee is just a plethora of questions I plan to use as prompts. 

What's Happening in My World Other Than This?

Well, the little girl is getting help with her learning. I'm truly grateful about that because it's been difficult finding the best way to help her. The most important thing? Putting my own needs aside to focus on hers especially the ones that tell me to internalize what's happening here. Isn't that what we do though as parents? Internalize? That's poison. Finding a solution is more important. It's vital.


Love and taking care of my family. 

That's my world right now. 

Oh, yes.

Writing! 

I'm writing Broken Promises right now, Kristoff's book. A little off, a little on.

I participated in a contest with Queeromanceink! Keep your fingers crossed. 

People, let me tell you right now. A 300-word limit is torturous!

 I'm actually getting messages that ask me to write more.


And that's what I'm trying to do!


So, put me in your Happy Planner, your calendar, your notebook, or whatever it is you use and check me out.

With love,
