^ blogging selfie... ;P

Hey ya'll. I have been the worst at blogging lately for one big reason... MY BOOK! I'm proud to announce my book is (basically) finished. And, to be honest, I couldn't be happier it's over. As bad as it sounds, I am so sick of writing and editing that I basically have fallen into full-fledged writers block. My days consisted of going to work all day and coming home to write all night. I loved it at the time, but toward the end it was getting veerryyyy llooonnnnggg. I'm glad it's done-zo and hope to have it up for sale within the month.

I've noticed how my passion for writing grew dry when I was forcing myself to do it for a couple hours a day. I was itching to do anything but edit my book. Since it's over, I have a lot more free time. Both last night and tonight I went to the gym for 2 and a half hours! Obsessive? Yes. But my passion for writing is temporarily closing, and I'm starting to get an itch for working out again. It looks like a new passion is opening, one that I've had my whole life but put on the back-burner while writing my book.

I'm excited to have more free time, to go to the gym, to laugh with friends, to read something that's not my own work, and to relax! Writing the book was wonderful and rewarding, but it began to feel like a bit of a job.

Cheers to new seasons, new passions, and new adventures. Let's follow our dreams and goals and be the best we can be, no matter what others may think or say.

If we follow our passions, great things will come. A favorite song of mine, Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down, was written by the lead singer as a 15 year old boy in math class, "bored out of his skull" and tapping his pencil.

What hypothetical "math class" are you sitting in, bored? Don't live a boring life, friend. Live a life of excitement - good things will follow.

Oh, and PS, I refuse to re-read this post for mispellings. I am so sick of editing I can't even explain. Lol. God bless.
