Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to give an update on life and the future of this blog and my writing.
I took a bit of a maternity leave and this August we welcomed our second baby boy. I've been doing a lot of reflecting of where I want to go as an author. And where this blog has lead me.
I've been blogging for 10 years now. I started my first blog when I was 15 and now I'm 25. It's helped me grow in my writing and helped me share my writing with the world. But it also has been super hard for me. It's made me feel like I've had to put poetry out like a endless vending machine and I've noticed my poetry is not always to the standard I've wanted it to be. Especially when I only get good views posting almost every single day.
And the most success I've ever had was when I scheduled 30 days of poems back in February 2023. And that was the month my son almost died in the PICU of RSV. And it took me months to even look at my blog again after thaf. And I've never been able to recreate that viewership. My goal has always been becoming an author and sharing my writing with the world.
All that to say I just finished my third poetry book! And I've decided I'm going to focus my time on writing my books. I will be releasing my third poetry book in the new year. And then I have 2 more poetry books in the works after. And then I have two fiction novels I'm working on as well.
So I won't be posting on this blog weekly anymore. I want to be an author and I want to focus on that. I've loved blogging but I've outgrown it. I will still be posting on here every once in a while with updates, thoughts and poetry.
Thank you for being on this journey with me and I will keep everything on my website updated and a place to see what I'm up to. My Instagram will also be a huge primary posting place. And I can't wait for you all to read my poems and story's in book form!
