Winter Blues and Taking Time

 

It's been a long year, and it's not even the end of January....

Well, maybe it's just been building up for a while. All the pandemic panic, the uncertainty, the quarantining and lack of normal social interactions... the lack of hugs...

It's been almost two years since the world turned sideways and headed off in this dystopian direction, longer if you want to count the political turmoil leading into the pandemic or the entirety of the climate change debate. I feel like the frog that sits in the pot calmly as the water slowly heats, not realizing what's coming until it's too late. Except I have no idea what's coming next.

I know I'm not the only one feeling the presence of that roiling grey cloud of precariousness hanging overhead, not knowing what comes next.

I recently had to let the other Hot Hunks series authors know that I'm taking a break from writing for a bit. My creative well has run dry, and I need to do something to refresh. I'm not sure what that something might be, but I'm hoping to find it. My next focus will probably be on finishing the mermaid series that I've started and deleted so many times in the last years. But Shea and Kae deserve an HEA as much as any of my other characters, so...

In the meantime, I want to thank you for your support of my writing ~ and hope that you've found my backlist and enjoy what's available. Seventeen unique stories, a few collections... and more to come in the future. But not right now. I'm taking time to be kind to myself. And hope you all are doing the same.
