Hello, hello, hello!
If you’ve been reading my posts for a while, you’ll know the last time I wrote was back in June – specifically on June 10th if you’ve been obsessively counting the days since I last wrote for some reason.
In that post, I wrote about how I needed a break. I said I’d be back in late July/early August, but considering it’s early September, you can probably tell that didn’t quite go to plan. 😅
The biggest reason behind my extended departure is simply that I’ve been busy – all with good things, fortunately. I’ve been having a grand old time living it up this summer, doing all the usual things like getting ice cream and soaking up the sun. This summer I was able to go to a couple concerts in town, visit my folks, and go for lots of running and weight-lifting sessions!
Aside from being busy, the other part keeping me away from Substack is the realization that I don’t want to be writing once a week anymore.
I love writing for everyone and seeing what everyone’s up to, but looking back, I probably took things a bit too seriously. I thought forcing myself to write once a week would make me a better writer, especially with fiction. But instead, it just made me tired and had me dreading the thought of having to get back on the creative treadmill when all I wanted was to take a break. So, instead of getting back in the game, I kept pushing it off…
Until I realized I don’t have to write once a week!
Now that I’m back, I’m planning to have a much more lax schedule. I’m going to try to write at least once a month – maybe even more – but I don’t want to force anything. It’s going to be a quick rundown of my life and some fiction I’ve written over the years and dug up – just for you!
In short: do expect to hear from me, just not as often.
For now, I’ll leave you with a couple photos of what I’ve been up to lately; tune in next time for a rundown and some fiction!
PS: For those that have supported me despite my absence, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
