I'm always super busy, even when I'm busy doing "nothing." One reason I stopped posting for the summer is because I have too many things I want to do, and I'm not willing to give up any of them.
1) Crossworlds. I want to finish my updated versions of the first few books in the series, mainly the first one. But in the subcategories of Crossworlds I also have blogs, drawings, social media/marketing, and moving forward with the series, working on Sent From a Dream. Also, I may or may not have a new short story to post this October (because it's spooky!). This has always been my lifelong dream, and I'm not willing to stop working toward it.
2) Acapella. I'm joining a quartet! I am so excited. Soon I'll be leaving for a weekend of "Adventures in Music," in Sacramento. I can't wait. This has been a secondary dream for a long time, and now that I finally get to make it real, I don't care if it's too much.
3) ASL. I've been teaching myself sign language, and it's SO FUN. Also, this might possibly be something I could maybe think about potentially turning into a career someday in the future perhaps. I've always been searching for that middle ground of something more practical than being a famous author, but that still carries meaning and makes me feel like I'm doing something worthwhile and real. Is this practical? Maybe not. But I'm not willing to give it up.
4) Okay, this one's a little silly, but I spend too much of my day staring at screens, and since I couldn't go outside for most of the summer I needed a nice, indoor activity. I'm been making a dollhouse, because I'm an adult. And I'm not going to sit here and say "I'm not willing to give it up!" even though, no, I'm not. But I'm 100% okay with making slooooowwww progress on it.
So, I'm having fun going into the busiest time of the year. We'll see where it all takes me.
