Indie Author Day

Today was Indie Author Day. It is a national day to recognize independent authors. I haven't been involved much in the book world lately. I have been focused on arts. I think it's because I've been in a funk. We've had a lot of stress going on lately. It's still going and luckily not the same thing. The stress is constantly evolving. Nevertheless, it still exists. Long term stress puts me into a funk and I'm in it and have been in it. I haven't felt like writing. I get my feelings out through art. Art journaling specifically. I have been arting so much that there hasn't been much time for writing or even reading. I have always been a voracious reader, too. It's weird only reading a book or two each month.

I went to the Indie Author Day even at the local library here in my town. I realized how much I miss the local writers here and the book world in general. Some of the speakers were discussing marketing and book reviewers and my heart pounded with joy. I had forgotten how much I loved doing what I did. I need to find the balance so I can do all the things I do in my life and still write. How does one manage their time efficiently? I think it's time for some Ted Talks. ;)

If you still follow this blog, don't lose faith in me. I'm determined to come back as a reviewer and author. I'm pretty sure I'll be starting from scratch though. Nevertheless, I'll be back! :)
