Real life has a way of both stopping and extending time together, stealing away creativity and taking away one of the things I love most spending time with my characters and sharing their stories. I’ve been away for a while after my first book was published and this was not planned. The intensity and full-on rush of my work schedule left very little time or energy to do or think of anything else.
For years now I have dreamed of passing a certification test that relates to my day job. It requires a class you must take that is expensive and a difficult test to finish and receive the certification. It had been nagging at me from deep in my mind and when I try to write I think about how I need to just do it. So, for the last three months I put everything aside to study. I passed the test on September 20,2023! I have my life back finally.
Even though I put my focus there, Airk has become extremely vocal. When I work out on the treadmill he shows me things, some very shocking that I would not have consciously considered, and I’m learning more about him. He will most likely be the first character that I write.
I created a schedule for my studies, a few spots of dedicated time that I will keep and use for writing. So, I’m back. Thank you for not giving up on me if you are still here. If you are new, welcome to the places and people I see when my mind goes when it’s free.
There’s more to come, please stand by. While you wait, check out a fellow writer, and sister’s site. She has been posting a couple of stories each week that I thoroughly enjoy. Devriespaulding.com
