January check in and audiobooks

How is it going? I wanted to check in and give you all an update as to where I am in my goals for the 90 days so far. So far, I have finished the sweet romance/family saga, first draft. This is going to be a fun series. I do not plan to release any of these books right away because I want to focus on getting my fantasy out in the world. Which by the way, I have gotten the edits back on said fantasy. Working through those. It is taking longer than anticipated because I took sick the
Writing, a business you say?
But, no, not business writing! Here I am again, writing on my blog for the third time this week. What is WRONG with me???? (I think it is insomnia, really) But I am committed to putting out some new content this year. That includes blogging, books, etc. So, hang with me for a minute.

If you were a part of this event, thank you from the bottom of my heart for attending. It was the first of our efforts to bring together writers, aspiring and otherwise. We had members of some local author groups in the crowd and it was so wonderful to see writer buddies that we don’t get to see (aside from online) very often. Many of you came up
