Harder than I expected
What is harder, you may ask?
ALL OF IT
Completed week one at the job that makes me money. Do you know how hard it is to go back to full 10 hour shifts when you’ve been able to rest when your body tires for 2 months? It was outrageous. I managed to not fall asleep at work but came home and slept about 10 hours each day, and was still tired when I got up. I did too much all at once. I probably should have done part-time upon my return but it’s too late now. Onward and upward.
It has taken me 10 days to sit down and do another blog. Some of that, well, see above about the 10 hour sleeping days. But also, I’m still on the fence of what this thing needs to be. What should I be talking about? Will any of it make sense or be worthwhile? (FYI my therapist is getting surgery so I won’t have one for the next month. Lord help all of us, it really might not make any sense).
I’m also still figuring out what to even put on this site. Here I am, hi, how ya doin’, but considering I don’t have anything published to send you to read - what do I give? I have plenty of stuff waiting for someone to read it, but does that devalue my work if I give it away? What kind of stuff do I even share? I’ve written everything from urban fantasy to romance to young adult. I have a zombie apocalypse YA novel I wrote like 15 years ago that I could easily update. And I have the YA novel that I already updated. Ooh, and there’s the urban fantasy with the ghost and the fairy world that would also need updating but… Hm… Possibilities. That send me right back to the question of, But is that what I should do? Because I have no idea.
What was NOT harder, though, was getting some graphics for the series I’ve been shopping! I happen to know an awesome graphic artist who made me a whole ass book cover and individual symbols and emblems (Casey, you rock!). So I guess you can have a peek of that. When I figure out how to do it. Because my years of CSS and HTML and all that other jazz when I could throw up a website in 2 hours are long past me and IDK what I’m doing anymore.
See? Everything is harder than I expected it to be. But, at least I’m trying. A few years ago, I likely would have given up already. Now? Well, it’s gotta get easier at some point, right?
