I’m Back!

Thank you all for sticking with me through my mini-hiatus. This past week I took time to reevaluate a few things, but I also took time to simply relax.

I am still mulling over a few things as well. For example, whether or not I should keep the “Crafting” section of this blog. In all honesty, I don’t craft that often, and when I do, at least recently, it is mostly with my Cricut machine. I would make those crafts into posts; however, I am no pro. In fact, I’m not a crafting pro at all; it is just something I enjoy doing. It’s also a skill that comes in handy when it’s time for gift giving.

Thanks to my husband, I am playing with the idea of, finally, writing my own book. I’m not sure yet if I will do a mini-series, a novel, or just a collection of short stories. I think the plan will be to start writing and see how it evolves. For those of you who write, you know that sometimes writing consists of sitting down and typing for hours on end without realizing the time, but it is also staring at a blank page/screen for hours and not typing a single letter.

I’ve been fighting severe imposter syndrome lately, which is ridiculous because I’ve received nothing but praise for my work. I am also sprucing the old resume to start looking for additional work. As much fun as freelance work is, it is not enough to pay the bills. A nice editing job would be ideal, but I hope to continue working from home, so we’ll see how that goes. Maybe I take on something easy, like data entry, to keep a steady paycheck coming in. This way, I can still freelance, write in this crazy little blog, and work on my book.

This week you’ll get a new Scary Movie post and a Food post. Is there anything you would like to see here? I am always open to suggestions.
