Home Again

The view from my brother and sister-in-laws cottage in Ontario, where I was lucky to spend a few days on vacation after attending my niece's wedding. The wedding was beautiful, and spending time with family was restorative.

And now I am back to reality.

I am determined to write more blog posts. And to start working on book 11 again.

I suspended the ad campaign I was running as it yielded no sales.

My sales of the newest book, "Blessed by Discovery" are abysmal.

It can be hard to motivate myself to write when there appears to be so little interest from anyone to read my work.

And then I have to remind myself that I write because I am a writer. Maybe someday I will find my audience. Maybe someday I will flick the magic switch that entices a large population to read my books.

And maybe I never will find that elusive audience.

My writing brings me comfort and joy when I remember to just immerse myself in it and celebrate and not worry about sales.

I will work on that this summer, as I work on building a new life without Cecil. Always something to work on to be the best version of myself. And I believe there always will be.
