I enjoy self-publishing & sending publishers rejection letters. They're like, 'Who is this guy?' And I'm like, 'the end of your industry.

This is what being busy looks like. 🤯 No space. No margins in life. It's not glamorous. It's time to delete some old belief systems around being busy. ❌being busy does not mean success ❌being busy does not mean happy ❌being busy does not make one more worthy I have found the times I am busiest is the times I am the most stressed. For me, being busy has served many functions. - to distract myself when I'm upset or disturbed - to avoid emotional pain - to make myself feel enough Many of us have realized (because of the pandemic and being forced to slow down), just how much we were pushing ourselves. I know for myself. I hate being busy now. Yet the habit of piling things on is still there. I am working on it. I have to be aware of it. And when I'm triggered I notice I get into workaholic tendencies... then I know I have to pull back. Because when I'm busy, to be brutally honest. I don't enjoy life. I don't get the time to really engage with people, I rush through projects, I even forget what I did that day... So I have learned: - do less - fit less in a day -make space for the spontaneous - say no, if it's not a hell ya - simplify - Prioritize - take down time - make space for pleasure What have you found helpful to create more space in your life for the things that nourish you? 💗 🎨 art by me Acrylic 2022 #artist #artistofinstagram #thoughtfortheday #thoughtfulartist #socialcommentary #thinkingaboutlife #beingtoobusy #beingbusy #addictiontobusy #simplify #simplifyyourlife #doless #createspace #slowingdown #lifeisbetterslow (at Courtenay, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZXn312vrzp/?utm_medium=tumblr

Euphoria

Euphoria

A feeling so intoxicating I got lost in it for years

I’m still lost in it

Whether in the form of a white oblong shape with red specks and a symbol cousin to square root

Whether in the form of green powder that tastes like the bark off of a shitty tree in Thailand

Whether in the form of purple liquid that’s soulmate is a plastic bottle of sprite 

I’m still lost in it

Sometimes I wish I never discovered her. Her. Because this shit’s a bitch.

Sometimes I wanna run away with her and never come back

One thing’s for sure, when she’s gone all I do is think about the next time I’m gonna see her.

She’s so warm and comfy.

I’m still lost in it.

I’ll tell you a secret, of this miserable state of mine, its the lack of receiving from the human kind, for I have given everything that once was mine.

THE OFFICIAL SNR BOOKIVERSARY LIVESTREAM WILL BE HELD ON SUNDAY, APRIL 26TH, 3:00 PM PST!

(4:00 PM CST, 5:00 PM CDT, 6:00 PM EST, 10:00 PM GMT)

Thank you so much to everyone who responded to the survey; I really appreciate the feedback. For those of you who don’t know what this post is about, don’t worry! I’ve changed my plans slightly, so you’ve not missed much.

This stream will be one hour long, on Twitch, and I will be answering any questions people have, primarily about my first book, Something’s Not Right, but also just about anything else. This means you can ask me about the indie publishing process, or whether any of the stories contain a specific monster, or to flip to page 32 because you spilled tea on your copy and it’s illegible now. I will be streaming my digital copy, so those of you who haven’t read it can take a peek inside! 

If you don’t know who I am, why not turn up anyway--I’ll be sure to introduce myself, and I’m always happy to meet new writers and readers, particularly during this odd time. Thank you so much as always for your support; mark your calendars and reblog to spread the word!

Me: *wants people to know I’m a self-published author and read my books*

Also me: *doesn’t tell anyone cause I’m too awkward*
