I’m writing this super quick check-in to let you know that I’ve changed the name, and maybe even the vibe, of this “newsletter”.
Like everyone who is reading this (and I love that you’re here!), I’ve been working on umpteen things at any given moment since the world “opened back up.” And now, for me, it’s time to walk it back. If I’ve taken anything away from our time of pandemic lockdown, it’s that paring down is a good thing.
I completed 28 Days of Joyful Death Writing recently (as mentioned in a previous post), and as a result, a lot of things came into focus for me. Things to keep, things to let go. I feel so light now, and I cannot recommend the practice enough.
I’m a Virgo, and as such, I love a good list. Here’s a short one, my List of What to Focus On Now:
Being a super present parent, and having the energy to soak in every second of fun with my kiddo.
Finishing my picture books… (Currently working on edits of the third book. I need to complete three dummies to start querying.)
Working toward finishing my second short film.
Being a weekly newsletter writer just didn’t make the current list. However, I do enjoy writing here. So for now, I’ll aim to write monthly, but will include a variety of cool stuff each time I do write. Expect stories, art, recommendations, anecdotes, etc.
Oh, and about the name change to ALSO:
I’m writing and illustrating books, trying to get my film produced, and I’m also hanging out here, when I can. I think we can all use a little space with no pressure or deadlines that’s also ours, just for fun.
Thanks for sticking around!
Excited to see what’s to come!
Love the new name! Congratulations on making three dummies, that’s SO much work and a massive achievement!
